New England Barn

Inspired by classic New England Colonial architecture, the New England Barn shed combines timeless design with modern functionality. Its quick installation process and spacious interior make it one of our most versatile larger models.

About the New England Barn

The New England Barn shed is a perfect blend of practicality and sophistication. Its steep roofline creates ample interior space, including a durable loft that spans half the building. This clever design offers a versatile layout that accommodates both storage and functional living or working areas. Delivered with the roof folded down flat for easy transport, the New England Barn is one of our quickest large-sized models to install.

A standout feature of the New England Barn is the transom window above the barn-style doors. This long, narrow window allows more natural light to fill the interior than any of our other barn designs, enhancing its usability and aesthetic appeal. The design is equally at home in the Northeast as it is in any other region, making it a stylish addition to properties of all types.

With the option to add even more windows, the New England Barn becomes more than just a storage shed—it transforms into a bright and inviting space for a home office, workshop, or artist studio. Meanwhile, the spacious loft provides a discreet area to store seasonal items, tools, or other belongings, keeping the main floor free for your creative or professional endeavors.

Customization options abound for the New England Barn shed, from siding and shingles to windows and shutters. Whether you want a traditional look or a more contemporary flair, this structure can be tailored to your vision.

Crafted with the exceptional quality you expect from Lapp Structures and backed by our five-year manufacturer defect warranty, the New England Barn shed is built to last. With proper care, it will provide decades of reliable service while enhancing the beauty and functionality of your property.
