Tips for Choosing a Size
The ideal barn with a loft provides the most storage and utility. Our lofted barns feature lofts in the front and back, so carefully consider your vertical needs here while you shop. Some sizing tips:
- Measure your items: Don’t just estimate. Know the footprint and height of the biggest items you plan to store.
- Plan for access: Make sure the door size and interior pathways allow for easy movement of stored items.
- Think upward: The loft spaces add incredible storage, but be sure to measure the items you’ll place up there. You need enough headroom for safe retrieval.
- Look to the future: Always go for a size that’s slightly larger than your current requirements. You’ll appreciate having room for additional uses.
A properly sized barn with a loft will serve you well for years to come.

What is the main difference between a lofted barn and a cabin?
Cabins can generally be designed for habitable space. They tend to look more like houses. Our barns with lofts, however, are optimized for storage and utility. Architecturally, they look like classic barns. Ours have the added bonus of extra vertical space, thanks to the lofts.
How much storage space do you get in a barn with a loft?
The front and rear lofts in our barns dramatically increase the usable storage area. Best of all, you don’t expand the footprint, which can save precious space on properties where square footage is limited. The vertical space is great for storing seasonal items off the main floor. You can also customize the size of these lofts for a unique solution.
Can I convert a barn into a living space later on?
While most buy these barns for storage, you can modify the design for your purposes. If you intend to use a lofted barn as a residence, it will be subject to local zoning requirements. Converting any portable building into a permanent living space means adding insulation, electrical systems, and more.
What are the key benefits of choosing lofted barns over a standard utility shed?
Perhaps the biggest advantage is the increase in usable vertical space in these barns. Standard sheds typically have one floor. The addition of a loft provides multiple storage areas. This lends the maximum flexibility for storage and organization.
