Barndominiums are on the rise as people are looking for new, creative ways to get their dream homes without completely breaking the bank.
So, what even is a barndominium?
The name comes from the combination of a barn and a condominium. Essentially, it’s a barn that has been converted into a living space, but some people take them even farther. They outside of some of these homes looks as if someone created a mansion for their livestock, but on the inside it’s a regular home. There are plenty of pros to a living space like this, but we’ll cover three big ones.
- Durability: These homes are incredibly sturdy. When barns are built, they need to withstand all kinds of weather and are created to be more open to the elements than homes are. This means using the same materials you would use to build a barn to build your home is going to give you an incredibly heavy-duty structure. Barn wood is rot and pest resistant, so you won’t have to worry about those things. If you opt for metal as your main material, you’re going to get even more protection. A metal barndominium is going to be extra strong against the elements, it won’t combust in fire (thought in severe heat metal may warp), it’s protected against insects and rot, and there is a high strength to weight ratio, so costs for transporting the metal will be lower.
- Open Floor Plans: Barndominiums are structured like barns, which means they are incredibly spacious. This equals open floor plans that allow you to set up your living space however you want. Regular homes often have unnecessary walls that block spaces off and waste a lot of the floorplan. With a barndominium, you’ll have a ton of space that you can utilize however you want.
- Design Versatility: With such open floor plans, these homes are great for anyone who is easily bored with their home’s layout. No having so many designated walls and rooms sectioned off allows you to rearrange your space however you want, whenever you want, with no real limitations.
