How to Build a Barn to Rent Out for Events
Formal ballrooms and traditional event halls have given way to rehabilitated barns and other nature-inspired locations. Which explains why it’s become popular for people to convert their old family barns into spectacular, rustic event venues. If the thought of operating a venue gets your blood pumping but you don’t have an old family barn to convert, you’re probably wondering how you can get in on the fun. That’s where a VersaTube steel barn comes in!
VersaTube Barns are Perfect Event Venues
Our barn models combine modern building materials with the classic center aisle style barn, which is the perfect aesthetic if you want to build a barn event venue. Instead of adding the stalls, you can build it and leave the space open. However, instead of just purchasing a standard model and planning to leave the stalls off when you assemble it, you’ll want to do a custom design and speak to a sales engineer so he or she can make any structural modifications that might be needed.
Before you order a VersaTube barn, it’s important you have a good idea of how you’re going to finish it. That’s another thing you’ll want to discuss with your sales engineer so he or she can build your design specifications right into the building. For instance, do you want to finish the walls with wood paneling, drywall, or leave the steel exposed? What type of lighting and sound system are you going to install? Are you putting in an HVAC system or sprinklers? The process of installing all of these things will be smoother if they’re planned for from the design stage.
One thing to remember when you’re thinking of how you’ll finish the barn is to make sure you plan for storage. You might consider adding a loft for storage or extending the length to allow for storage rooms for decorations and supplies.
There’s a reason our slogan is Dream it. Build it.
Once you’ve assembled your new VersaTube barn, you get to the fun part you’ve been waiting for: making that event venue you’ve been imagining come to life! When it comes to finishing the interior, your options are unlimited. From a catering kitchen to the dance floor to gauzy, fabric-coated ceilings and twinkling lights, you can make your dream happen!
