Iron Country barns combine practical function with the distinctive raised central section profile that sets an American barn apart from a standard portal shed. The raised centre section gives additional height and storage capacity, while the lower side sections provide covered working space or lean-to areas.
Popular on horse properties, lifestyle blocks and rural estates, our steel American barns are designed to suit Australian conditions and custom-sized to your requirements.
Layout and fitout options depend on the building's intended use. Sheds are custom-sized, engineered to site and fully detailed for construction. BlueScope steel and COLORBOND® cladding options are available throughout.
