Classic Raised Barn Design with Exceptional Clearance

Two Large Lean-Tos for Expanded Storage and Versatility

Flanking the main structure are two large lean-tos, each measuring 14 feet wide, 35 feet long, and 10 feet tall. These additional covered spaces provide excellent protection for extra vehicles, boats, lawn and garden equipment, or even outdoor workspace areas. The lean-tos extend the building’s footprint significantly, offering a combined covered area of over 980 square feet beyond the central barn.

• Lean-to dimensions: Two at 14 feet wide × 35 feet long × 10 feet high

Durable Vertical Siding for Superior Protection and Low Maintenance

Constructed with all-vertical steel panels, this RV cover combines enhanced durability with improved runoff. Vertical paneling allows rain, snow, and debris to shed quickly, preventing buildup that can cause damage or require frequent cleaning. The steel panels resist rust, rot, pests, and UV damage, providing years of low-maintenance use in a variety of climates. The clean vertical lines also create a sleek, professional look that adds value and curb appeal to your property.

• Vertical paneling: Maximizes water runoff and reduces wear over time
• Corrosion-resistant steel: Durable finish withstands weather and pests
• Low maintenance: Minimal upkeep needed compared to traditional wood or fabric structures

Customizable Door and Window Openings for Added Convenience

The building is framed with openings designed for standard or custom roll-up doors, allowing you to tailor access points based on your specific needs. Whether you want secure, lockable bays or open drive-through areas, this flexibility lets you configure the building exactly how you envision. Optional walk-in doors and window placements add natural light and ease of use, enhancing the functionality of the workspace or storage areas.

• Door framing: Compatible with custom-sized roll-up or sectional doors
• Walk-in doors and windows: Optional features to improve accessibility and lighting
