Why Get an American Barn?

What can American barns be used for? You would be surprised to find that these barns have many different applications including: garages for your car, a workplace for your company, stables for your horses, backyard storage sheds, farm sheds for your farm equipment or a hobby space. Essentially, if you need any type of room to protect your valuables, an American barn is the way to go.

The increased roof height of American barns makes them extremely practical for boat and caravan storage, or for people with hobbies or work that require extra roof clearance. By adding a mezzanine floor you could also provide additional elevated storage space or even an office above the working area.

Fair Dinkum Sheds can customise your American barn to suit your needs and taste. We can change the dimensions, add more bays, skylights, remote doors and even ventilation.  Personalisation can include your choice and number of windows, roller doors, sliding doors or hinged doors.

The structure can also be extended to include a garaport to provide more shade or covered area to the front of the structure – great for entertaining space or to provide more protected space for car cover. Or we can add a lean-to which is essentially a carport off the side.

Another alternative is to leave some barn sides open, providing easy access for whatever you choose to store in your American barn. By creating open bays, farmers can have one side of the shed completely open in order to cover crops such as hay more easily. They are also very convenient for storing or covering tractors and other expensive equipment at night. Open bays are ideal for this purpose because they provide a means for the tractor to be driven in and out of the barn without having to open and close doors.

American barns are a popular choice for both residential and rural buyers. Their flexibility, stylish looks and storage potential provide benefits for a broad range of purposes. Our new monopitch or skillion roof designs can modernise the look of the American barn to suit your modern home or property. A stunning angled roof better matches modern looking homes. We can also mix and match horizontal and vertical cladding and component colours to create a barn with more pizzazz!
