Frequently Asked Questions Buffalo in his happy home!
What is a Modular Barn?

A modular barn is a custom designed building that has prefabricated wall panels. These panels allow maximum flexibility in building design and construction. Modular concepts may also lower building costs. Because of the modular design barns can be built small at first and later added onto without difficulty. Modular barns can also be disassembled and relocated to a new site.

How do these building compare to wood structures?

First, Barnsmaster Barns are primarily constructed from steel making them stronger than wood. Second, steel construction also adds other benefits such as easy maintenance, cleaning, 'Zero Fire Spread' and the ability to weather the elements much better than wood.

Are these "Kit" buildings?

No. Barnmaster's buildings are not kit buildings. Each building is custom designed and constructed to meet your specific needs. While the costs may be comparable to so called "kit" buildings, our buildings offer maximum flexibility and use superior materials to "kits". Barns Northwest also offers affordable custom installation using our authorized installers, or you may choose to do it yourself or have an outside contractor install your building for you.

Can I finance a building or barn?

No. Our buildings are used for all types of animals and storage. Although it is true that the majority of Barnmaster's customers have come from the horse industry our barns and buildings are also used to house cows, pigs, llamas, dogs, ostriches, camels, etc.

Besides animals our buildings are also used to store and house RV's, Boats, Airplanes, and  Helicopters.

I live in an environment that has specific wind/snow loads for building and roofs.

All of our buildings are built to your areas and environmental standards. We  design and engineer buildings and barns with wind loads of up to 120 MPH and Snow Loads of up to 150 pounds. Our barns and buildings have withstood major earthquakes, hurricanes, blizzards and brush fires without suffering any structural damage.
