Barndominiums
Nowadays, homeowners want to express themselves, and many standard homes are cookie-cutter and boring. One current, fast-growing housing trend is the barndominium. Often called Bardons, barndominiums are rustic, open-concept homes.
They originated from Texas ranchers who were tired of going out in the elements to check on their animals. Ranchers built a house and a horse barn/shop connected to each other. Through the years, this concept united large shops and office spaces when a typical garage would not do.
Today’s barndominiums encompass a custom home with large, open floor plans that use amazing designs and décor to achieve a desired look – the design opportunities are endless. A barndominium from Toledo Pole Barns provides a rugged steel structure that comes at a fraction of the cost of conventional construction methods.
Benefits of building a barndominium:
- Quick building process – It can take a long time to build custom homes, but not with barndominiums. Typically, these structures have a speedy building process.
- Low-maintenance upkeep – Unlike most homes, barndominiums don’t need continuous updates, such as painting or replacing wood siding. They require very little upkeep over time.
- Durable and long-lasting – Most barndominium structures can last up to 60+ years. They’re designed to outlast wind, rain, heat, and cold.
- Lower energy costs – Barndominiums are very energy efficient and can help you save on monthly energy bills. They’re well-insulated and have metal roofs, which help conserve energy.
Pole Barns
The pole barn structure has been used for hundreds of years as a reliable building process. Pole barns are buildings with poles planted in the ground — or attached to embedded concrete footings — and used to support walls, roofs, and floors.
Pressure-treated posts or poles, or concrete footings, are lodged deep into the ground so they can sustain a lot of pressure and bear strength. That pressure is evenly distributed around the pole and the entire structure, resulting in a stable construct that’s highly resistant to wind damage.
Pole barn structures are often used as:
- Garages
- Hobby rooms
- Indoor basketball courts
- Man caves
- Stockrooms
- Workshop spaces
