Sunward Steel Buildings, Inc., fabricated and supplied this pre-engineered steel barn in Piedmont, Oklahoma, in January of 2012.
These days, the insulated, accommodating metal building functions as a private barn on a residential property, giving the owner space to house animals, agricultural equipment or any number of other assets. Built to accompany an existing home at the address, the metal barn boasts a number of attractive stylistic features that blend well with the surrounding property and give it a traditional barn-style design.
Steel Barn: By the Numbers
Comprised of rugged, high-end steel parts, the steel barn stands 42’x80’x13’ in size and features several eye-catching architectural elements, among them wainscoting, a front porch and (2) cupolas. Sahara Tan in color, the metal barn boasts a complementing Burnished Slate-colored roof with matching trim and a 3:12 pitch, which offers ample protection from the elements.

Barns, Barndominiums & More
In addition to manufacturing and supplying steel barns intended for private and commercial use, Sunward Steel also fabricates “barndominiums,” which merge residential living quarters with other types of usable space. Ideal for housing animals, storing animal feed or farm equipment, or serving any number of other purposes, pre-engineered metal barns are generally cheaper and easier to erect than wooden alternatives, but they offer the same degree of architectural appeal.
This particular metal barn effectively merges style with functionality, resulting in a safe, reliable multiuse space for the owner to enjoy. Part of the Oklahoma City metropolitan area, the city of Piedmont is located mainly within the borders of Canadian County, although part of the city also extends into Kingfisher County.
