Best Barns of Indiana
If you need a small barn, shed or portable building, you have come to the right place -- the website of Best Barns of Indiana We have been custom-building small utility structures in central Indiana and beyond for the past 20 years -- at very competitive prices. Our workmanship and the quality of our materials ensure that your building is sturdy, durable and attractive.
Our Services Include:

Our buildings have ranged in size from 8' x 8' to 24' x 40' two-story, with a 10' x 40' porch. We have had many repeat customers. We are more than willing to custom-design a building to meet your needs or dreams. We've recently introduced pre-built buildings constructed from currently available materials.

These buildings, like all of our buildings, are 2" x 4" framed (not 2" x 3"). Knot size is limited to 1".
Standard flooring is 3/4" tongue-and-groove.
We use 4" x 5" treated and laminated runners to support our buildings. These are about equal in strength to non-laminated 4" x 6" and approximately 50% stronger and much less likely to warp than the usual 4" x 4" runners.
All buildings are constructed with doubled top plates on both side walls.
We carefully place plywood and o.s.b. with the strength axis properly aligned.
All of our doors are carefully constructed from 3 layers of material on the top, bottom and center edges. This gives you a stable and strong door, resistant to distortion and unauthorized entry. The normally stationary door has both top and bottom interior latches. The operational door has a keyed lock built into the handle, with the latch being interior (no padlock to be cut).
All buildings have a minimum of 4 inches overhang on all sides. This allows your siding to remain dryer and last longer.
All floors have an outside perimeter made of treated lumber, as this area remains wet longer than any other place on your building, allowing bacteria and fungus a chance to reproduce and deteriorate if non-treated wood is used.
You can choose either full length aluminum hinges or three black T-hinges on each door.
We offer a 5-year warranty on all workmanship and materials.

Sorry, we do not currently take credit cards, as we would need to increase our pricing by $50 on the thousand to cover our expenses. We refuse to pass these costs on to customers who use cash or check. We make every effort to eliminate or reduce as many unnecessary costs as possible, while maintaining high quality standards. We guarantee the structural soundness of every piece of lumber and plywood/o.s.b. used on your building. We fully stand by our tried and tested designs. We also believe our buildings to be attractive in their design, with a three-dimensional look. This is accomplished through the overhangs on all sides, plus the use of two-by material on the doors, avoiding the cardboard box or flat look. We think you will find our buildings attractive, low-cost and long-lasting.

It is the customer's responsibility to research the need for and obtain permits or homeowner association approval. We can block your building to level as long as the site is within 6 inches of level, although pre-leveling is preferred. Some sites or counties may require post anchoring. We do not excavate. You will need to take care of these issues prior to the scheduled delivery date. Delivery within a 30-mile radius of Indianapolis Inter-National Airport is included in our pricing. If you are outside this area, there is a $2/mile charge on miles outside the 30-mile radius. On pre-built buildings, our delivery people will need two feet of clearance on each side of your building along the path the building will need to travel to reach the site where you wish to place it. A 10'-wide building will need a 14' clear path to allow for maneuvering the truck while reaching the site. Any obstructions that need to be removed by the delivery driver will be time- billed at $40/hr. As part of the contract, any lawn marking or ruts left by delivery are the customer's responsibility. If these standards are unachievable, please tell us before we attempt to deliver your building; we will site-build your building at the prices listed in the standard price list. For on-site constructed buildings, we will need electricity within 200'. If you can't be home the day of the build or delivery, please stake the 4 corners of the site, with a 5th stake where the door is to be located.

A 50% deposit is required on all orders, with the balance paid the day of delivery. We accept cash, check, money order, or cashiers check. You will receive an itemized bill for material, labor, and delivery, that will total the price listed on the sheet.

You will need to caulk all the tops of horizontal lumber and the sides of vertical lumber with a good quality siliconized caulk or Silicone II TM. You will need to paint or stain your building within 30 days of delivery, or as weather allows, for best results. The siding and corner trim will be pre-primed. Eave trim and doors should be primed first and then painted. A good quality exterior latex paint is best on the siding and trim. The type of pre-prime does not absorb oil base paints, causing drying time to be extended, allowing dust and insects to become embedded in the paint for 24 to 48 hours. Oil base paint is okay on non-pre-primed wood.
We are looking forward to serving you!
