Why Homeowners Love Side Lofted Barns

This type of portable shed is the perfect choice for anyone looking to maximize storage space without taking up too much room on their property. Here's why the side lofted barn is so popular among homeowners and how it can help you declutter your living space.

Smart & Attractive Storage

Who says storage has to be an eyesore? These barns combine functionality with visual appeal, giving you a storage solution that looks great on your property. Their small footprint ensures you maintain plenty of yard space, and the design options allow for a personalized touch to match your home’s aesthetic.

Maximize Space

With 4-ft lofts on each end, portable lofted barns offer a surprising amount of storage without taking up additional yard space. The lofts are perfect for seasonal items like holiday decorations, camping gear, or winter clothing—keeping them safely out of the way but easily accessible when needed. Store larger items like lawn mowers and UTV on the lower level for an organized, clean space.

Cost Effective

Portable lofted barns provide the most storage for your money. Instead of spending thousands on costly home additions or rented storage units, a lofted barn offers an affordable, one-time investment. Plus, it’s conveniently located right in your backyard. Additionally, the durability and quality of these barns ensure a long-lasting storage solution that stands up to weather and use over time.

Quality Comes Standard

Here are the standard features included in every side lofted barn build:

• 4×6 treated lumber skids (notched for added strength)

• 2×6 floor joist on 16” center

• 3/4” Georgia-Pacific Plytanium® Sturd-I-Floor® Stable Flooring Systems

• Stud walls are the tallest possible to legally transport over the road to your location – 16” O.C. Walls

• Steel siding (Your Choice of Color) 29 gauge – BOE Steel

• Steel roofing (Your Choice of Color) 29 gauge – BOE Steel

• Pre-built truss roof framing

• Roof is sheathed with OSB for strength

Upgrade available to the Elite Lofted Barn with floor joists on 12” centers and wall studs on 16” centers. This makes the building stronger and sturdier than any portable buildings on the market.
