TIPS AND TRICKS HOW TO MANAGE AND IMPROVE YOUR BUILDINGS, SHEDS, AND AROUND THE HOME

Two-story barn shed converted into tiny home.

From Two-Story Barn Shed to Two-Story Tiny Home

Two-story sheds that are transformed into two-story tiny homes are some of the most popular home transformation projects lately — and for a good reason. These “barndominiums” offer a sustainable way of living and are more affordable than traditional houses. 

They feature wooden structures that are built onsite. One of the greatest aspects of these little homes is that they are completely customizable.

How to Build a Barndominium Tiny House

These impressive little structures can be ordered by customers and delivered right to the build location. 

Suppose that you’re interested in one of these tiny homes. In that case, your best bet is to contact a portable storage building company, like Keen’s Buildings, that can guide your project and construct the perfect barndominium according to your preferences. 

Think about the type of layout you want: Do you prefer an open-concept design, walls, or a loft-style tiny home?

You’ll want to decide on the dimensions, colors, and style you want (modern or barn-style) and choose the location for your new tiny home. When you work with a reputable storage building company like Keen’s Buildings, you won’t run into design limitations that will leave you with a project that is less than you’d hoped for.

Function, Sizing, and Cost

The best part about two-story sheds is that they can serve as an additional living space rather than a primary one. They have been known to be repurposed as: 

  • Mother-in-law suites & destination cabins — perhaps even turn yours into an Airbnb! 
  • Home offices & workstations 
  • Workshops with loft areas for use as storage 
  • Gyms/fitness studios with room for yoga, exercise equipment, and more

Depending on the size you choose, the functions can vary, but the four most popular two-story tiny home sizes include: 14×20, 14×24, 16×20, 16×24. What’s more, with financing from an experienced retailer, payments can be as low as $275/mo. 

Compare that to average rent for a one-bedroom apartment in the U.S. in 2020, which sits at $1098/mo, and it’s not hard to see why people opt for these spacious two-story tiny homes instead. 

Features, Options, Necessities, and Extras

There’s much more that can go into a tiny home than just a couple of outlets and a light bulb or two. These small homes can have full electrical service, just as any mainstream home would. People install plumbing, HVAC, water heaters, and more. 

Customers can order options like a deck, a front porch, shutters, and window boxes. Floor plan options are almost endless, and there are dozens of exterior colors customers can browse. Roof materials also come in various styles, types, and colors.

Tiny Homes: The Bottom Line

Make sure to have a portable storage building company at the helm of your project. Work with a contractor to make certain sewer and plumbing lines are properly in place. 

These small homes carry very little overhead. A fully functional barndominium can cost less than 25% of what the average single-family home in the U.S costs. 

Trust the best professionals in the business, like Keen’s Buildings, and you’ll love what they do with your new place to live.
