These traditional-style father and son post-frame barndominiums in Louisville, Tenn. were built at the same time on the same land, True Metal Supply provided Textured Charcoal Board and Batten Steel Siding and a Signature Black Tuff-Rib Metal Roof for the son’s building. The father’s build features Textured Light Gray Board and Batten Steel Siding and a Charcoal Tuff-Rib Metal Roof, also provided by True Metal Supply. While the humble homes aren’t large, the layouts perfectly accommodate both families’ space and utility needs while paying close attention to aesthetic details.
The barndos feature attached two-car garages, gable porches on the front, lean-to porches on the back, and beautiful bold trim. With steel siding and metal roofing, these barndominiums are very energy efficient. The Board and Batten Steel Siding and Tuff-Rib Metal Roofs are coated with Sherwin Williams Weather XL Crinkle Finish, providing a lifetime of energy efficiency and durability. Additionally, the unique parallel chord steel trusses provide the builds with superior strength and longevity. Because steel trusses were used, a clear span of 30 feet with maximum overhead space was easily achievable for the homes. Each building is 30′ x 52′.
All lumber was #1 Southern Yellow Pine provided by Old South Wood Preserving with structural #1 6”x6” post columns. True Metal’s parallel chord steel trusses are specifically designed for post-frame applications and constructed with Grade 50 2”x2” angle iron. Perma-Column Sturdi-Wall Drillset Anchors were also used to anchor the buildings to the concrete foundations. For additional strength, Frame Grip Structural Framing Screws were used to construct the walls. The homeowners achieved the desired aesthetic by upgrading from traditional metal siding to Board and Batten, Concealed-Fastened Steel Siding.
