Metal Barns

However you use your Versatube Barn, adding a lean-to, or awning, can stretch its use even further. Here are a few reasons we think you’ll love your barn even more if you add a VersaTube lean-to to your planned or existing VersaTube barn.

It makes a great attached carport

How useful would you find a carport attached to your barn? Depending on the size of lean-to you add, it can be the ideal place to park a tractor or mower, or your truck and trailer. A pull-through carport gives you a place, out of bad weather, for loading and unloading animals or equipment and supplies.

It’s a perfect storage area

From temporary storage for hay and feed to long-term storage for equipment, an awning is a valuable addition for keeping items organized and safe.

It’s a versatile sheltered area

Whatever type of VersaTube barn you built, we bet a sheltered area would come in handy. It makes a great covered patio that can be used as a sitting area for you or for clients if needed. It makes a great all-weather BBQ zone. And it’s a perfect upgraded, sheltered entrance, both aesthetically, and practically.  

It makes a great covered pen

Add a fence around the perimeter of your lean-to and you’ve quickly and easily converted it into a covered pen. (This is a common option for many of our clients!) Or, wall in your lean-to to transform it into a birthing pen.

The way you use your VersaTube barn will influence what kind of lean-to would work best for you, but almost without question, a VersaTube lean-to will take your barn to the next level.
