What are American Barns in NZ, used for? While there are many and varied uses for a barn style shed, they are most popular as storage buildings that require a higher centre door opening. For trucks, boats, horse trailers, camper cans - these can be parked in the centre bay with space for that extra height. Also popular for a vehicle hoist which can be positioned in the centre bay. Sloping sides prevent the building from becoming an intrusive monolith on your property and give it that classic American Barn look.

Living the American Barn lifestyle! You don’t have to use an American Barn for storage alone. These sheds are incredibly popular as lifestyle or home workshop. Since the internal layout is able to be divided by internal walls, you can create amazing spaces for all your needs. Perfect for uses such as a home studio, gym, games room or craft room.

Man Cave. Ever wanted your own slice of space to fill with all the stuff you love? American Barns are an attractive addition to any property and can be personalised to fill a huge list of requirements. They can be easily adapted and designated as time goes by into a fantastic entertainment or games room. Ideal for workshops, mechanics or designers that work from home. NZ hobbyists and professionals of all kinds are turning the traditional American Barn into something truly unique for their property and lifestyle.

Hygienic and vermin proof. American Barn sheds can be designed so there is nowhere for birds to perch. This helps to eliminate issues with mess from nesting materials and bird droppings contaminating your gear. Being precisely built, there's also nowhere for vermin to enter so unwelcome visitors are kept at bay.

Customisation. Your American Barn plans will feature a high centre door, but you can customise the barn with a range of options, including cedar doors, custom-shaped windows and awnings, personal access doors, sliding doors, french doors and more! To make use of the high ceiling, if you don’t intend to store tall equipment or vehicles, consider adding a mezzanine level complete with stairs, balustrades and safety handrails to let you spread out even further.
