Outbuildings

As we looked at options, we evaluated how our outbuilding would be used for equipment storage and a workshop/man cave. We also added porches and a greenhouse space. Everyone advised us to “build it bigger than you think you need.” We doubled our prior barn size, and did see our new pole barn fill up very quickly!

With our Kansas winds, we found our completed QSI building to be extremely strong and stable. It turned out just as we had envisioned, by taking the extra time in the planning stages. There are a variety of post-frame outbuildings available through area companies, along with many smaller options of sheds and kits at home improvement stores and online. Each option depends on your budget and needs.

By carefully considering your structural and aesthetic options, you’ll be able to create your own efficiently-designed outbuilding.
