A barndominium — a combination of the words “barn” and “condominium” — is what it sounds like: a barn that has been converted into a home. These types of homes are created either by converting an existing barn into a living space or are built from the ground up to the owner’s specifications. One of the main attractions of barndominiums is that their interior spaces are easily customized and versatile. There are typically two options for the exterior of these structures: A pole barndominium, which often uses wood post-frame construction A traditional barndominium, which often uses a metal and steel frame for support In both cases, the exterior provides a solid structure and does not require the use of load-bearing walls on the interior. This means the construction process is less labor-intensive.
