3 Uses for a Pole Barn That May Surprise You

When thinking about pole barns Washington homeowners typically think about them as being used as shelter for livestock and horses or a place to store tractors and farming equipment. Most people don’t realize that there isn’t any product available that is as adaptable and multi-purpose as a pole barn. You can use it for a wide range of uses, many of the ways you can use them may surprise you, and in fact here are 3 ways you may want to consider using a pole barn.
An Indoor Nursery
One of the best ways to use pole barns Washington homeowners may not have considered is as an indoor nursery. Unlike a traditional nursery that is made with wood and plastic sheeting, a steel pole barn is impervious to mold and extremely effective against organic causes of decay. All it takes to create an effective indoor nursery in your pole barn is a few sets of energy-efficient grow lights and a built-in drip irrigation system and your plants will be well cared for 24 hours a day, without worrying about storms and fungal damage.

A Woodshop

If you have always wanted a woodshop where you could build furniture, cabinets or even vintage style toys, a pole barn is a great solution. When it comes to pole barns Washington residents can have the space they need to get as creative as they want while they do their wood working. There is nothing worse than a basement full of sawdust and complaints from your family about the noise your tools are making. With a woodshop in your pole barn, you have the room to build anything you want, no longer have to worry about keeping the noise down from your tools and you no longer have to worry about the sawdust being carried throughout the house. Basically, a pole barn woodshop means you can spend more time on the weekend doing what you enjoy doing.

A Guesthouse

Many homeowners often think that the cost of building a guesthouse is too high for it to be a realistic option. One of best ways to use pole barns Washington homeowners may not be aware of is using them as a guesthouse. Pole barns are significantly less costly than other types of dwellings. You can use your pole barn “guesthouse” for visiting friends and family, a mother-in-law suite or you can rent it out to generate extra income. When designing a pole barn to be used as a guesthouse, you can customize it with the floor plan and design features of your choice.
Pole barns are extremely versatile, affordable and efficient. You can have your pole barn built to your design and once it has been built, the possibilities of how you use it are endless. If you aren’t sure which dimensions would be the best suited for your needs, talk with your contractor for recommendations and design ideas. The biggest decision you will have to make is where on your property you want your new pole barn/guesthouse/workshop to be built.
