Prefabricated Steel Home & Barn in Garnett, South Carolina
Sunward Steel Buildings, Inc., was the proud provider of these two pre-engineered metal buildings in Garnett, South Carolina, sending the metal building kits to the jobsite in June 2024.
Used as a vacation home and hunting camp, the two matching buildings offer superior strength and durability and impressive aesthetics, merging a modern, eye-catching design with low-maintenance functionality. The first building has 3,000 square feet of open floor space and serves as the main vacation residence. The second, smaller structure, used as a barn and storage area, delivers another 2,100 square feet of enclosed space to the property and has two metal lean-tos that create covered, open-air storage or work spaces outside.
Both the main home and the detached barn have Ash Gray walls and Black architectural trim, which easily conceal dirt or grime while blending well with the property’s natural surroundings. The two structures also have large windows throughout that let natural sunlight inside, creating welcoming, well-lit interiors.
Modern, practical and versatile, this metal residence and barn give the property owners an inviting, multifunctional place to host family, enjoy weekends and holidays, and take advantage of the surrounding landscape. A prime example of the durability, practicality and beauty of steel construction, the steel residential buildings together serve double duty as both a comfortable retreat and a home base for hunting trips.
