American Style Barn Sheds
Why Choose an American Barn?
American barns are a popular and versatile storage solution, commonly used for horse stables, vehicle storage, and agricultural needs. Comprised of a high central section added through the centre of a conventional pitched roof shed, offer solutions to many use requirements, such as mezzanine flooring and/or access for high vehicles and equipment.
Featuring a symmetrical three-section design, these barns offer a spacious and functional layout, perfect for housing livestock, machinery, and feed storage. The raised central bay provides additional clearance, making it ideal for larger vehicles and equipment.
Safety Steel Structures specialise in custom-built American barns, ensuring they
meet local council requirements and your specific storage needs. Whether you’re looking for a stable, workshop, or multi-purpose barn, we provide a durable and cost-effective solution.
American vs. Aussie Style Barn Sheds
While both American and Aussie barns offer excellent storage and protection, they differ in design and application:
American Barns
Feature a symmetrical three-section layout, often used for horse stables, vehicle storage, and hay storage. American style barns are widely chosen for their classic look and functional layout, making them a great option for rural and equestrian properties.
Aussie Barns
While very similar to American barns, Aussie style barns are designed with a higher central bay, making them ideal for large machinery and farming equipment. You can typically tell them apart from the gap between the roof levels on an American style barn.
Common Uses of American Style Barns
American barns are an incredibly versatile solution for tour home or farm and can be used for a variety of purposes, including:
- Horse Stables – Spacious stalls and layouts for equestrian use.
- Vehicle & Machinery Storage – Secure space for cars, tractors, and equipment. Extra height allows for hoists.
- Workshops – Ideal for repairs, maintenance, or hobbies.
- Hay & Feed Storage – Protect supplies from the elements.
- Multi-Purpose Storage – Flexible space for various farm or domestic needs.
