The Lofted Barn - Maximum Storage, Classic Barn Style
The Lofted Barn suits homeowners who need more storage than floor space alone can offer. The overhead lofts hold seasonal and less-frequent items out of the way, while 78-inch walls keep the main floor comfortable to move around in.
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.

Imagine the Possibilities
Lawn & Garden Equipment Storage
Keep mowers, trimmers, wheelbarrows, hoses, and other lawn equipment organized on the main level. Use the lofts for seasonal tools, supplies, and equipment you do not need every day.
Holiday & Seasonal Storage
Keep holiday decorations, artificial trees, outdoor lights, patio accessories, and other seasonal items organized and protected. The lofts are ideal for things you only need to access a few times a year, leaving the main floor open for everyday storage.
Workshop or Hobby Room
Tall 78-inch walls and a clear floor make room for benches, tools, and projects, while the lofts hold lumber and materials up and out of the way. It is real workshop space, not an afterthought.
Pool & Patio Storage
Keep pool supplies, outdoor cushions, umbrellas, folding chairs, and patio accessories organized and protected between uses. The lofts provide extra space for seasonal items while keeping everyday essentials easy to reach.
Backyard Farm & Feed Storage
Keep feed, fencing, and supplies dry and organized. The lofts provide extra space for bulky, less frequently used supplies while keeping everyday items easy to access.
The Lofted Barn - Available Sizes
The Lofted Barn comes in 25 standard sizes, from compact to roomier configurations with serious capacity. Every size features the same high-quality Prairie Built Barns construction. The listed price includes an extensive warranty, free delivery, and setup within 50 miles of your dealer.

Permit requirements vary by county and municipality. Generally, structures under 200 sq ft do not require a permit in most jurisdictions, but we always recommend checking with your local zoning office. Our team can provide documentation and specs needed for permit applications in most areas we serve.
Our delivery crews work efficiently to get your building placed and set up shortly after arrival and will call ahead to confirm site readiness. Buildings can be placed directly on the ground or on a prepared surface such as gravel or concrete. On-lot inventory sheds are typically delivered within 7-14 business days of purchase confirmation, while custom-ordered buildings generally require 21 business days for construction and delivery after approval.
