What Is a Barndo Anyway?
A barndo (AKA barndominium) is a distinctive and innovative residential structure that combines the rustic charm of a barn with the functionality and comfort of a modern home. The term "barndominium" is a combination of "barn" and "condominium," reflecting the dual nature of these dwellings. While the exterior often echoes the architectural elements of a traditional barn, the interiors are thoughtfully designed and equipped with modern amenities, creating a unique and versatile living space.
Benefits of Building a Barndo
Durability & Longevity
Due to the steel construction of a barndo, they are resistant to rot, insects, harsh weather, mildew, mold, fire, and therefore with little maintenance will last a lifetime or longer.
Energy Efficiency
Steel structures when insulated become air tight, resulting in reduced energy consumption. In addition, barndo's do not have basements and therefore not only reduce the carbon footprint, but further reduce your heating and cooling costs.

Flexibility
Barndos are structurally sound due to their steel construction and therefore do not need load-bearing walls allowing homeowners to customize their living space. Need a large shop at the rear with inside access? Indoor play area? Indoor boat or RV storage?
