Wide Selection of NZ Barns

Searching for quality barns in NZ? We supply a wide range of barns nationwide, including popular styles like American barns, Quaker barns and Kiwi barns.

Whether you need extra space for storage, a workshop, or general rural use our barns can be designed to suit any purpose you desire.

Choosing the Right Barn

The ideal style of barn can be a big decision. Your budget, the look you are aiming for, and how you plan to use the building will help guide you in the right direction.

American barns are popular for their extra height and central space, making them ideal for storage, workshops, or accommodation.

Quaker barns offer a great solution for upstairs use by providing a similar amount of floor space upstairs as the ground floor, making them suitable for accommodation and visual appeal.

Kiwi barns are the best value for money. They are a gable shed with one or two wings off the sides. The main shed can be any width, and the side wings can also be any width, so the combinations are endless, and each has its own look.

House barns are the dream barn. The idea of having accommodation on a rural landscape that looks like a shed is becoming a desirable housing option.

NZ-Made Barns Built for New Zealand Conditions

Our team designs buildings that are built to last, using 100% NZ products and materials.

Each building is engineered for its exact location and built to handle New Zealand’s conditions, including wind zones, snow loads, earthquake requirements, and ground conditions.

We can help you choose the perfect barn to suit your lifestyle and budget.

Strong, Practical and Cost-Effective

Our barns look great, go up quickly, and meet high engineering standards. Each one is custom designed to suit the owner’s needs, resulting in a building that works well and looks right on your property.

While most barn styles cost more than a standard gable shed, a Kiwi barn can be a very affordable way to create floor space that looks smart when designed well, with minimal additional cost.

American barns are more expensive for several reasons. The structure is more complex, requiring more engineering and additional components such as brackets, bolts, and fixings. They also have more external components. For example, a standard gable shed has two gutters, while an American barn has four. There are more soft edge flashings, all of which add to the overall cost. These extra materials and design requirements add up quickly, making American barns more expensive than simpler shed styles.

Pricing depends on the design, size, and intended use. Because most barns are custom built, and there can be significant price differences between styles, costs can vary considerably. Get in touch for a ballpark price to get started.
