High Barn

The High Barn combines the charm of a classic barn with the functionality of a shed, offering unparalleled vertical storage space thanks to its iconic gambrel roof.

About the High Barn

Inspired by the iconic barns dotting rural America, the High Barn is designed to make the most of every inch of space. Its standout feature, the gambrel roof, creates a multi-pitched design with three ridges—one at the peak and two along the sides. This clever design increases vertical interior space, giving you more storage capacity than traditional shed styles like the A-Frame.

The High Barn isn’t just practical; it’s versatile too. The added height makes it easy to incorporate a loft, offering even more usable space without sacrificing headroom below. Whether you’re storing tools, seasonal decor, or creating a workspace, the High Barn adapts to your needs.

For those who love the practicality of the High Barn but want a unique twist, consider upgrading to the Dutch Colonial style. This option adds a distinctive Dutch flair to the roofline, blending functionality with a touch of elegance.

As with all of our structures, the High Barn is fully customizable. Choose from a wide range of siding, shingles, windows, and shutters to match your property’s aesthetic. Its recognizable, timeless design ensures it looks right at home, whether on a sprawling farm or a cozy suburban lot.

Built with Amish craftsmanship and backed by our five-year manufacturer defect warranty, the High Barn offers durability you can trust. With proper maintenance, this shed will provide decades of service, making it a smart investment for your storage or workspace needs.

Make It Yours

While the listed specifications are standard across all of our structures, there are many opportunities to customize your shed to match your needs or style.

Here are only a few customization considerations when designing your Victorian shed:

  • For the roof, consider a dormer or cupola to give your outdoor building a unique look.
  • Opt for a cedar shake, ribbed metal or standing-seam metal roof to further customize its appearance.
  • We offer a plethora of siding options including beaded vinyl, HardiePlank, board-and-batten, and cedar shake.
  • Varying the windows to meet your needs with options including insulated, wood sash, arched wood sash and transom windows.
  • Add character with custom shutters: choose from wood slat, vinyl raised panel or vinyl louvered options.
