POLE BARN HOMES

Residential Pole Barn Homes

Residential Pole Barn Home, Shouse or Barndominium Construction

Why settle for the home of your dreams when you can have something even better — a shouse?  A shouse, also called a barndominium, is a personal workshop and/or storage connected to a house or living quarters, providing the perfect combination of living space and storage/workspace. It is ideal if you’ve got big toys and tools and don’t want the hassle of separate living quarters. The combination could potentially save you tax dollars as you consolidate your structures. The shouse can be a single-wing or multi-wing structure.  Clear-span trusses will give you wide-open space and high ceilings.  With wide-open space you can have your interior walls anyplace you want them.  The exterior walls are your load-bearing walls.

What is a pole barn home?

A residential pole barn home, or a barndominium, is the ideal alternative to a conventional “stick-built” house when you want to combine a living space with a multi-use toy shed, workshop, or extra-large garage for boats, RVs, and more.

Pole barn homes can be designed and built for a variety of uses: a year-round dwelling, a guest house, or a weekend getaway home. On top of that, pole barn homes open the possibility for incorporating your hobbies and interests into a single structure.

Benefits of a pole barn home

  • Greater floor plan flexibility
  • More expansive interiors
  • Easier construction of extra-high walls, extra-large windows
  • A consolidated structure means lower construction costs and possibly reduces your taxes
  • Fewer building components leads to faster construction time
  • Better foundation options
  • Better adaptability to site/soil conditions
  • Future additions made easier
  • Superior durability
  • Cost effective vaulted ceilings
  • More insulation, fewer thermal breaks

Types of pole barn homes

A pole barn provides maximum flexibility for your building project, but no matter what type of pole barn you're looking for, quality should be your top priority. Your pole building has to meet your needs in terms of storage and aesthetics, but it also has to be built to withstand weather and general wear and tear.
