Originally Published as: Historic Style, Modern Build: A personalized pole barn proves extra planning pays off in lasting style.
This modern pole barn was personalized specifically for Extreme Pole Buildings’ clients who wanted something that wouldn’t look like so many of their neighbors’ simple metal pole buildings. In fact, the pole barn was designed to resemble a structure that could have been built around the same time as their customer’s home, 1928! Constant communication between Extreme Pole Buildings and their customer ironed out the colors and details of the build. So much work in the planning stage of the build ensured that all the finer details were solidified further down the line.
Once the materials were ordered and construction began, the build was smooth sailing. The results truly speak for themselves and were certainly worth the extra time. The structure is a nice blend of a clean farmhouse aesthetic with practical functionality. The three cupolas add natural ventilation and subtle character, while the expansive glass-paneled sliding doors create a focal point that also adds plenty of natural light to the interior space. The custom slider door was well worth it for the aesthetic value it adds to the building. The building, which is great for workshop use, equipment storage, or multipurpose hobby space, sits amidst the customer’s gorgeous property and complements its rural setting.
