A barn shed is the same as a gambrel shed, in that the roof is in a barn style.
The benefit of this type of shed is that the gambrel roof offers a large amount of storage space. So if you want a shed with lots of storage space, and you want the challenge of building this yourself, then get your hands on some detailed barn shed plans.
The roofline of this style of shed is aesthetically pleasing as well as adding character to your backyard, and it’s for this reason a lot of people choose to build a gambrel shed.
Because of the extra space in the roof, a barn style sheds can be used for storing extra tools and building supplies, as a playhouse for the kids or even be used as a guest house.
If you can build one big enough, you can even build a loft, so your shed has 2 levels, the top level for smaller items, and the bottom level for bigger items. You can also add a window on the top level allowing for good ventilation.
It’s important when attempting to build outdoor Barn style storage sheds, that you have some detailed shed plans, as the roof design is fairly complicated and can be hard to build.
