Looking for an affordable, convenient way to store vehicles, equipment, livestock and more on your property? A metal barn might be your best bet. Easy to construct, affordable and durable, these barns can be used for a whole lot more than simply keeping animals and farming equipment. 

Here are some of the top metal barn styles that property owners are using to store all kinds of things for work, play and everything in between!

Horse Barns

As you may have guessed from the name, a horse barn is most often used to house horses and other livestock, along with their feed and other supplies and equipment. However, people who buy these metal barns for their properties are using them for all kinds of creative purposes, including as an art studio, music rehearsal space, home office or even as an auxiliary living space for guests or relatives. Thanks to their impressive size and multiple stalls, there’s no end to the storage possibilities that a metal horse barn can provide!

Garage Barns

Traditionally used to store cars, trucks, and other recreational or farming vehicles, a garage barn can also be a great storage solution for just about any project or hobby you have. People who have purchased metal garage barns for their properties have been known to use them as workshops for metal or woodworking, auto shops for repairing and restoring vehicles, home fitness centers, game rooms, or even as a “man cave.” Whether you choose a smaller garage barn or a multi-door garage barn with a larger footprint, you can be sure that you will find a storage solution to fit your needs.

Barnports

Your first question here might be, “What is a barnport?” A barnport is a type of building that is a combination of a barn and a carport. It typically has three bays, or sections, that can be used for a variety of purposes, such as storing vehicles, equipment, or livestock. Barnports are often used on farms and ranches, but they can also be found in residential areas. They are a versatile option that can be customized to meet the specific needs of the owner. While a barnport is optimized for vehicle or livestock storage, they can be used to house just about anything that needs storing.

Whether you’re looking for an ideal storage solution for vehicles, livestock, workshop equipment or just plain old stuff that has accumulated over the years, a barn style metal building can be just what you’ve been looking for. Best of all, metal barn house kits make constructing a barn on your property easy and affordable. Keep metal barns in mind when choosing how you’d like to store your important and valuable belongings.
