American Barns – Built Tough with COLORBOND® Steel

What Do Most Australians use their American Barns for?

Most Australians use their American barns for vehicle storage; typically, the centre section is used for a taller vehicle like a caravan or motorhome and the lower side awnings are used to store cars and trailers.American barns are also becoming popular as liveable buildings, often called barndominiums. We have listed some other popular uses below.

Horse Stables & Equestrian Facilities

One of the most popular uses for an American barn is as a horse stable or equestrian facility. The open floor plan and spacious design allow for comfortable accommodation of horses, with separate areas for feeding and grooming and a tack room for equipment storage.

Agricultural Storage & Equipment

With ample interior space, an American barn is the perfect solution for storing agricultural equipment, machinery, and supplies. Barns can be accessed from all four sides, allowing for easy manoeuvring of tractors, trailers, and other farm vehicles. Their versatile design allows for additional hay, feed, and tool storage, keeping everything organised and protected from the elements.

Small Business Workshop Or DIY Space

An American barn can be transformed into a spacious workshop or showroom for budding entrepreneurs and businesses that work from home. The open layout provides plenty of room for carpentry, metalwork, mechanical repairs, and other projects. The extra height of barns easily accommodates car hoists, wood lathes, and even CNC machines for metalwork.

Home Office or Hobby Studio

With remote working now common for many companies, a custom American barn can be transformed into a peaceful home office. Away from the distractions of the main house, barns can offer a separate space for work or hobbies. From yoga studios to sewing rooms, with proper insulation and internal fit-out, they can become comfortable, productive environments.

Gym & Fitness Centre

An American barn can be converted into a personal gym or fitness centre, saving you the cost and hassle of going to your local gym. The open design can accommodate even large fitness equipment, from weightlifting machines to cardio stations.

Storage & Organisation

For homeowners needing additional storage space, an American barn can be a practical solution. From seasonal items and recreational equipment to gardening tools and household belongings, the barn’s open floor plan and customisable storage options allow for efficient organisation and easy access to stored items.
