 American Barns 

Australian Barns

The American Barn, is one of the most popular styles, due in part to its ability to build a mezzanine in the middle void so that you can put those all-important Christmas decorations safely away until the end of the year and still have room to park your mower underneath! With lots of different colours, roof pitch and sizes to dream up your American Barn, you can be sure that it will fit you perfectly.
