Rotting window sills, roof or siding? How about issues with proper ventilation, or leaks in the rafters? There’s a reason you have to book a contractor to repair your barn almost every year: wood barns are more susceptible to weather damage than steel barns. Before you call that contractor and invest more money into repairing your old barn, consider if it might be time for an upgrade to a VersaTube steel barn.

Fire-resistant

One of the biggest risks to a barn is fire. In just minutes and you could lose thousands of dollars of tack and equipment, and even animals - maybe even before you are aware there is a fire. With a steel barn, fire risks can be reduced over comparable wood barns because the structure is made from non-combustible materials.

Cost

Making repair after repair is costly and at a certain point, it’s just time for a new barn. When that time comes, consider the cost difference between a wooden barn and a steel one. All other factors equal, a VersaTube steel barn costs less, allowing you to get more barn for less money!

Time to build

With our unique Slip-Fit Connections, you can have your new barn built in just a couple of weeks. What’s more you and a few friends can easily do-it-yourself with just household tools!

Eco-friendly

The timber for a traditional barn comes from literally hundreds of tons of fresh trees. Steel, on the other hand, is an eco-friendly material. What’s more, when your steel barn has reached the end of its life cycle, the steel from your barn can be recycled.

Durability

Need another reason to consider a steel VersaTube barn? It’s simply more durable than traditional timber. You’ll need less repairs, and in general if you do need a repair, it will cost less than what you’ve experienced with your wood barn.
