The Lofted Barn – Our Most Popular Selling Building

One of the original buildings in our product offerings was the lofted barn. Along with the utility shed, mini-barn, and the newly introduced Single Slope shed, the lofted barn has remained a constant favorite. Year in and year out, the lofted barn is our best-selling portable structure. The lofted barn cabin, a sister product to the lofted barn, is also a popular seller. Read on to learn more about all the great things you can do with a lofted barn or a lofted barn cabin!

Lofted Barns vs Lofted Barn Cabins

lofted-barnWhen considering portable buildings, the options can be overwhelming. Yet, two styles continue to garner the most attention – the lofted barn and the lofted barn cabin. The key differences lie in their architectural features and functional uses.

While both our lofted barn and lofted barn cabins are designed with the traditional gambrel-style roof, their interiors tell a different story. Lofted barns are more about maximizing storage, with overhead lofts and a wall height of 6ft 3in. These buildings are perfect for storing holiday decorations, gardening supplies, or anything that you’d like to keep up off the floor.

lofted-barn-cabinLofted barn cabins, on the other hand, take the functionality of buildings to a new level. Along with the overhead lofts, lofted barn cabins feature a porch, adding to their aesthetic appeal and making them a perfect fit for those who desire to build out their own tiny home, a home office, or an additional guest space.

Lofted Barns vs Utility Sheds

The decision between a lofted barn and a utility shed often comes down to individual needs and aesthetic preferences. While utility sheds feature an A-frame roof and the ability to upgrade the wall height to 8ft, lofted barns, with their classic barn-style roofs, boast a unique charm.

utility-shedThe most significant distinction between these two buildings is their built-in storage solutions. A utility shed offers increased wall height for taller storage shelves and is ideal for storing tall items like ladders. Lofted barns, conversely, come with overhead storage for additional room, which maximizes vertical storage and helps keep items off the floor. Both of these structures can have a front porch, depending on the add-on package your choose.

The Value of Overhead Space

Nothing adds more value to your portable structure than overhead loft space. Our lofted barns come with built-in lofts that optimize your interior space. These lofts provide a smart solution for stowing away seasonal items or other less frequently used belongings. The lofts are built using 2′ x 6′ joists and OSB decking.

Unlike our lofted barns or the lofted cabins, the Utility Shed does not come standard with any overhead area. However, that can be added to provide extra space to store your valuables. In either the utility shed, lofted barn, or the lofted barn cabin the overhead storage is full width giving you maximum area.

How To Maximize Storage Space

If your main concern is storage, look no further than our lofted barns. The generous loft is the perfect place for storing items that you don’t need daily access to, like holiday decorations or camping gear. On top of that, the ample interior room on the main level of the barn can house bulky items, tools, and equipment. This practical design helps you get the most out of your portable building.

By consolidating your items into plastic bins or tubs, you can keep everything neater and more contained. By utilizing the overhead area in a lofted barn cabin, you can store more of your valuables out fo the weather.

Adding Beauty To Your Lofted Barn or Lofted Barn Cabin

The charm of a lofted barn or lofted barn cabin extends beyond its practicality. Customer-added accessories like flower boxes can add a touch of beauty to your structure. Flower boxes give you the opportunity to incorporate colorful blooms and greenery into your building’s exterior, turning it into a stunning addition to your backyard.

Our single barn door or our double barn doors both come with the option of adding windows into the doors themselves providing tons of natural light.
