Gambrel Barn Style Building
Easy-To-Install Building and Garage Kits
Is a barn-like style more what you’re looking for? Do you like a roomy feel with lots of headroom? A gambrel-style building just might be the answer.
Practicality and Charm
The roof is what sets apart the gambrel style building from other styles. Also called Dutch Hip or Dutch Gambrel, it has been popular for hundreds of years because the way that the style maximizes headroom and sloughs off snow in winter.
The roof is symmetrical and slopes on both sides. The pitch of the upper slope is less steep than that of the lower slope. What that means for you is a roomy feel to the interior.
Do you want an upper area for storage, an office or sleeping space? This is the style to choose. The gambrel design is as close as we get to a building with two stories.
If you want an upper deck, the basic prices listed do not include the steel framing needed. But they can be specially ordered with no problem, just talk to your Absolute Steel representative.
If you plan to build in an area with snow in winter, this is an excellent choice. The slope ensures that the roof sheds the snow easily. That makes this model practical if you plan to use it for winter recreation. Or if you don’t use the cabin during winter, you can relax. You don’t need to be around to get rid of the snow that collects on the roof.
Your metal building kit features a high quality engineered steel frame system.
Your building also comes with top quality steel panels. This is the same buildng completed.
The Gambrel Barn: Rustic, Classic Looks
Though people think of barns when they see the roof, the style has long been used for homes, schools, and other many types of buildings. Even the first Harvard House at Harvard University had a gambrel roof, back in 1677.
The basic style originated in Southeast Asia. Seafarers brought it back to the Americas and Europe in the 17th Century. Colonists appreciated the high headroom and adapted the look for their needs in barns, homes and other structures.
Interior Space Planning
Absolute Steel manufactures 4500 standard sizes in every style of building we manufacture; that’s a lot of choices. We do not provide interior designs or interior components for our steel buildings; Absolute Steel is providing you with the complete exterior shell only.
