Alterative Ways to Use Your Barn Space

You don’t need an active farm to benefit from installing a pole barn on your property. In fact, many people have installed pole barns on their properties for uses other than farming. Perhaps they want to install a new addition to their residential or commercial property made of sturdy steel. Whatever the reason for having a pole structure, it is usually a good one.

 

Here are the top 7 potential purposes a pole barn structure could serve for any property owner with enough land space. 

Personal Space

We all need personal space away from everyone else in the house. Some call this type of place a man cave or a woman cave because it is meant for one person only.

 

A pole barn can create the perfect personal space because it is not attached to the house. Instead, you can go outside into the backyard and enjoy a shed-like personal space without connecting walls. These spaces are great for reading, sleeping, relaxing, and watching television.

 

Of course, you can also invite friends to your pole barn personal space to socialize away from the main house.

 

New Garage

Why not use your pole barn to create a new garage on your property? Even if you have a garage already, you may want another one to shelter additional cars or motorcycles.

 

The pole barn can serve as a viable and sturdy garage because of its steel construction. This durable material will secure your garage and shelter your vehicles from bad weather conditions, thieves, vandals, and other outdoor environmental impacts.

 

In addition, you can use a pole barn to create a custom-sized garage to shelter irregular vehicles, such as boats, RVs, and vintage cars. You can make your pole barn garage any height and width you’d like.

 

Hobby Room or Workshop

Do you need a hobby room to focus on personal projects and interests? A pole barn makes a great hobby room or workshop because it gives you plenty of space to devote to any hobby. Use it to work on cars, carpentry projects, painting, writing, or anything else you like to do. 

Storage Shed

Do you need to shelter heavy outdoor equipment, such as tractors and lawnmowers? A pole barn can be made into a large enough storage shed to shelter and protect these massive pieces of equipment. Common outdoor hazards will not be able to impact them whatsoever.

Church

You don’t see many new churches constructed from traditional stone and rock materials. Instead, the high demand for versatile and flexible church spaces requires a modern construction style. Pole barns are one of them.

 

Pole barns can serve as excellent church buildings because they are customizable and made from durable steel material. We at Hamilbilt Barns can erect a steel pole barn on church grounds quickly and affordably to accommodate any specific size demands. No other church construction method offers the same speed, flexibility, and durability as pole barn construction.

 

Horse Barn

If you wish to have some resemblance of an actual farm on your property, you can create a horse barn out of your pole barn structure. Use your horse barn to shelter, train, feed, and ride your horses in a secure environment. The steel construction of the pole barn will ensure the horses cannot escape. 

Mobile Office

Pole barns are not only for personal use. You can also use them to create mobile offices on a construction site or other commercial property.

 

Our company can install the concrete and steel base for your new commercial structure. However, these pole barns don’t come with electrical or plumbing installations. But we can guide you through the permit and engineering process to ensure you comply with local laws and regulations. We can also recommend companies for installing utilities.
