Components of Metal Barn Kits

When you purchase a metal barn kit, you’ll receive all the components in your design. This includes all the standard equipment and any custom items you may have chosen for your building. These items include:

Roofing Panels

Whether you've gone with a standard roof or one you'd find on Carolina barns, these panels will make up your building’s roof and are responsible for protecting your animals, equipment, or valuables. They’re designed to resist high winds, rainfall, snow, and falling debris.

Wall Paneling

The wall paneling is the plates that are secured to the sides, front, and back of your metal barn.

Framing and Trusses

The framing and trusses make up what is essentially the skeleton of your metal barn.

Fasteners

No one wants to spend hours searching the bottom of their toolbox for the correct size screw or bolt! And that's why they'll be included in your metal barn kit.

Anchors

The anchors are the components that secure your building safely to the ground. The type used will depend entirely on the foundation type you’ve chosen.

Customizations

If you’ve added custom options to your metal barn, such as custom windows and doors, they will also be included in your metal barn kit delivery.

Metal Barn Kits Are Multipurpose

Make no mistake; metal barn kits are among the most flexible building types on the market! They can easily be adapted to work in residential, commercial, and industrial settings with minimal hassle. To give you an idea of just how versatile these buildings can be, we've included just a few ways they can be used:

Heavy Equipment Storage

Working on modern farms often requires an armada of expensive equipment. From combines to tractors and everything in between, these components must be kept safe and secure from the elements to prevent rust and wear. Luckily, metal barn kits are up to this challenge.

Hay Barns and Feed Sheds

Another crucial aspect of operating a farm is keeping your animals properly fed. Metal barns are a fantastic choice for these jobs as they can keep hay and food supplies safe, dry, and free of mold and pests.

Dairy Barns

If you're a dairy farmer, having the right facilities is crucial. Gone are the days of slouching beneath a cow with a steel pale! Modern dairy farmers require extensive, flexible facilities that are capable of housing their animals and milking and dairy equipment.

Horse Stables

One of the most expensive parts of horse ownership is stabling. But with a metal barn kit, keeping your four-legged friends comfortable is easy, no matter the weather.

Riding Arenas

Another fantastic feature of some clear span barn buildings is their ability to be constructed at large sizes without needing internal support beams. This makes them excellent for riding arenas, training facilities, and more.

Workshops

From woodworkers to welders, everyone needs a place to house their hobbies or side jobs. And a metal barn kit is a great way to do just that! These buildings offer space, versatility, and fire-resistance technology, making them perfect for the metalworking, welding, or glass blowing!

Design and Customize Your Barn Kit!

One of the most valuable features of choosing metal buildings for your construction project is the 3D design tools offered. This program gives building experts and customers a detailed, three-dimensional view of their structure, allowing them to custom-design it to their specific requirements.

And in that program, you’ll also be able to fully customize your building’s size, colors, paneling, roofing style, doors, windows, and even accessories like wainscoting! This provides you with an unrivaled level of customizability you won’t find in traditional construction.

Why Metal Barn Kits?

There is an endless array of advantages to choosing a metal barn kit over a professionally installed one. Let’s take a look at just a few!

Cost Effective Design

Most manufacturers will offer discounts for customers that forego installation, sometimes even up to 40%!

Installation Anytime

With a kit, you won’t have to waste time scheduling an installation crew. Roll up your sleeves and get to work on your own time!

Show Off Your Skills

There’s no better way to show that you know your stuff than taking the DIY approach. From beginning to end, the construction process will be under your control!

Use It Your Way

You’ll be hard-pressed to find a ‘wrong’ way to use your metal barn kit. From livestock shelters to fully-livable homes, these buildings can do anything.

Develop a Comprehensive Knowledge of Your Building

By performing the installation process yourself, you’ll be far more capable of understanding the components and intricacies of your structure. This will come in handy should you ever need to perform maintenance checks or repairs.

Prep for Your Barn’s Delivery

Before you can break ground on your new structure, you'll want to take several necessary steps to prepare your building site. These include:

Secure Building Permits

Most localities will have rules and regulations concerning the construction of permanent structures. Therefore, you’ll want to check with your local building officials before constructing your building.

Weather Conditions

If you live in a region that regularly sees violent storms, high winds, or heavy snowfall, you’ll want to design your metal barn accordingly. This will require you to customize your building with framing and paneling reinforcements, as well as heavy-duty roofing systems that can handle the weather.

Accessibility

Your metal barn will need to be accessed on a daily basis. As such, you'll want to ensure you have a well-built roadway to and from your structure.

Choose Location

Your metal barn kit will need to be located in an area that sits above natural water runoff. You'll avoid potential flood risk and damage by performing this due diligence.

Proximity to Water Supply

If you have animals that need daily watering, you’ll want to ensure that your building is placed close to available utilities such as wells or springs.

Site Prep

Once you’ve picked out a suitable build site, you’ll need to ensure that it’s completely clear of all debris or vegetation. You'll also want to make certain that your building's foundation is entirely level and fully cured before beginning construction.

Electricity Connections

If you plan to wire your metal barn for electricity, you'll want to build it near available utility lines. This simple logistical step can save you tremendously in terms of building expenses.

Understanding Metal Barn Prices

Since metal barns are complex products of modern engineering, determining their price isn't always an easy task. Many factors go into the cost of a steel structure, including the price of raw steel, the customization options you choose, the roofing styles, and even the location you want your building to be delivered.

Additionally, many metal building providers charge for installation or include it in the final price for your structure. But by foregoing installation, you can avoid these extra fees.
