Barndominiums

Barndominiums are steel buildings that offer a perfect mix of living quarters and a place for fun. The interior resembles modern conventional homes, except for the extra space per foot due to not having any walls. Additionally, they’ve also managed to overcome the challenges possessed by traditional barns, by improving issues such as energy efficiency, insulation, and availability of electricity and water. They offer a blend of aesthetic appeal with the concept of durability and functionality. The home can be assembled anywhere and with any specifications as desired.

Barndominiums are a great weekend or holiday home for relaxing with the family. You can put up the building on any land property belonging to you. There are many things you can do to make it suit your lifestyle. First, you can partition the space to add more rooms into the home, like the swimming pool area, kitchen area, sleeping area and entertainment area. You can also leave the space open and convert the space into a conference room. You can also have an extension that acts as the garage area or put up a retail shop. There is no restriction to what you choose to make your barndominium.

While it is not easy to find funding for barndominiums, it is not impossible. Local banks and farmers’ credit institutions might be willing to lend you some money if you disclose your desire to build a barndominium. National lenders will do some scrutiny before extending their funds. They will consider your credit rating and whether you have the possibility of defaulting. You must show your building plans and or show whether you will be working alone or with the help of a subcontractor before you get clearance.

Benefits

Wondering if a barndominium is right for you? We've outlined a few of the benefits to owning and building a barndominium

Affordability

Barndominiums are cheaper to construct compared to traditional homes. The exact cost will depend on the level of customization included in your project.

Customizable Space

The materials used in the construction are readily available in barndominiums kits. Pre-ordering one of these kits gives you the freedom to custom design your home or modify the design as you see fit.

Low Maintenance

Barndominium homes are durable. They have better chances of withstanding severe weather, moisture, rust, fire, and mold. The steel material used in construction offers protection against the environment. The material also requires minimal repair and maintenance services.

Available Styles

Wood Hybrid vs. Metal Framing

Wood hybrid frames involve the use of wooden poles to construct frames for the barn. The contractors bury the stakes deep into the ground for stability. On the other hand, metal frames are steel structures bolted into a concrete foundation. Although the wooden poles are cheaper, they are not very stable and are susceptible to fires, termites, and rotting. Metal frames are long-lasting and sturdy, but they are more likely to rust.

Single Story vs. Multi Story

Single-storey barns contain only one floor, while double-storey barns comprise two floors. Single-storey barns offer more space per square foot, but the foundation is more costly. More area is because there is no space allocated to build stairs. Double-storey barns give room for more versatile designs. They have the additional space upstairs, but they are riskier for people with mobility issues.
