Barn houses
Barn houses for alternative accommodation are rapidly becoming popular as people are looking for affordable housing options
Here are some ideas for barn homes:
- Internal garaging under one roof
- A lean-to can make a great conservatory
- Balconies and decks create covered outdoor areas at entry points
The majority of the building can be constructed as a shed, with a section designated for domestic living, or the entire building can be used as living space.
Barn houses are a flexible option. The internal layout is largely unrestricted due to the portal frame’s ability to span long distances.

Photos and Details of our system
The average shed company designs buildings based on standard measurements simply rounded to the meter, then builders trim the excess cladding to suit. We do it way better – we base each dimension on the total cover of the cladding sheets
Why?
A wall 12.3 m wide instead of 12.0 m really makes a difference. Everything lines up, flashings fit properly, reducing waste and saving time.

A barn house is a building that combines the structure of a barn with residential living space. It can be designed as a full-time home or a mix of storage, workshop, and accommodation under one roof.
Yes, a barn can be used as a home in New Zealand, but it must meet building code requirements for residential use. This includes compliance with insulation, plumbing, and other living standards, and approval from the local council.

Every time we start a job in Tauranga, that sneaky yellow digger beats us to site! 😁👍
He needs a name - Any suggestions?
Another site cut, and the concrete slab down.
The owner is taking on this build himself
We supplied the kitset shed and installed the concrete slab, water tank and drainage to get the project off to a great start. Now it's over to him to bring the shed to life.
Good luck with the build Rob we look forward to seeing the finished result!
