Barndominium Shell Kits
Perfect for Budget-Minded Individuals
Barndominiums, or "barndos," have surged in popularity in recent years. Simply put, they're metal buildings designed for residential use. The perfect blend of rustic charm and modern functionality creates a sturdy yet cozy space. Many customers use barndos to create their ideal she-shed, man-cave, or workshop alongside their living area, while others opt for purely residential use. Since our kits include only the structural shell, you have complete freedom to customize the interior however you envision it.
Our premium barndominium shell kits provide an affordable alternative to traditional stick-frame or post-frame homes without compromising on quality. These metal buildings come as a complete "dry-in" package, including exterior walls, trusses, metal roofing, metal siding, windows, and doors. Our barndominiums are built with 2x6 wood studs, creating a more energy-efficient space compared to typical 2x4 stud-framed homes. They also feature free-span trusses, eliminating the need for interior load-bearing walls and giving you full control over your floor plan.
"We could not be more pleased. Everything is absolutely perfect. We can't say enough good about the people and the process from beginning to end we were 100% satisfied. The whole experience was above and beyond our expectations. Thank you for a job very well done."

Build on Your Timeline
These barndominium homes are ideal for landowners who want to build in phases. Once the shell is built, typically within 2 to 6 weeks, depending on size, you're ready to start creating your dream interior. Whether you plan to make this a DIY project or hire a contractor, our shell construction gives you the flexibility to move at your own pace. You can finish room by room as time and budget allow, without being locked into a fixed timeline.
Why Choose Sutherlands for Your Barndominium Kit?
Our stud-frame construction method delivers a strong, long-lasting exterior built with durable materials, such as metal roofing and siding, designed to reduce long-term maintenance. Unlike typical stick-built homes that rely on rafters and ceiling joists supported by interior walls, our truss system spans the entire width of your home. This means no internal structural walls are needed. You can design your layout freely and even move walls later if your needs change.
