How To Spot: Barndo vs Non-Barndo
NOT A BARNDO
With its open floor plan and industrial charm, a steel Barndominium provides a modern living environment while retaining the structural integrity required for long-term durability. In contrast, a non-barndominium or traditional home structure typically follows conventional residential construction methods, utilizing materials such as wood framing and masonry. You can easily distinguish steel-framed Barndos by identifying the main “clear span” unit with lean-to’s on one or multiple sides, whereas non-barndominium or traditional homes have design and/or structural elements deviating from this and look more like your traditional house structure design and material wise.
