Sizing notes from the field

  1. 40 ft clear-span trusses put every interior wall where you want it.
  2. Use a 12 ft eave for single-story living; go to 16 ft if the shop side needs a 12–14 ft door.
  3. Split 40x40 living and 40x20 garage or shop, with a porch across the living sidewall.
  4. Versetta Stone wainscot, Diamond Kote siding and textured or woodgrain steel are the upgrades that make it read as custom.

40x60 kit questions.

How much does a 40x60 barndominium kit cost?

A 40x60x16 barndominium shell package typically runs $60,000 to $150,000 in materials, depending on eave height, window and door count, finish level and your site’s loads. Interior finish, labor, concrete and site work typically add another 1.5 to 2 times the shell number.

How many bedrooms fit in a 40x60 barndominium?

Three or four bedrooms and two baths on one level is common. If you split the building with a shop, expect two or three bedrooms in the living side.

What finishes make a 40x60 barndominium look high-end?

Stone wainscot, pre-finished lap siding on the gables or porch walls, timber-wrapped porch posts and a darker woodgrain or textured steel. We supply Versetta Stone, Diamond Kote siding and Gerkin windows with the package.

Can I build a 40x60 barndominium myself?

Many owner-builders do, often with a framing crew for the shell. The package ships with stamped drawings and every structural component, and we can connect you with builders in our contractor network.

What is included in a 40x60 kit from Western?
