The Barn
The Barn suits homeowners who want dependable storage without a complicated build. Its compact footprint and classic gambrel roofline make it a practical fit for smaller lots, tight side yards, or anywhere a full-size barn would be more building than the space calls for.
Every Prairie Built Barns structure can be delivered fully assembled and set on your property or built on site. We use premium materials, which can include LP SmartSide® engineered siding, pressure-treated skids, and quality flooring, to build structures that stand strong with minimal maintenance.
