A 32×40 pole barn gives you 1,280 square feet. That is a sweet spot. You get more overall size than a 24×32 pole barn with enough room for larger project or storage needs. That extra space matters, even on a budget.
Thirty-two feet wide lets you park four cars side by side with room to open doors. Or you can fit two full size trucks with a workbench and tool storage along the side wall. Forty feet deep gives you space for a lift, a long workbench, or a small office in the back. Want to see a 32×40 post frame barn at work? Check out the Radnor Pole Barn.
Standard garage bays are 10 to 12 feet wide. With 30 feet, three 10 foot bays fit tight. With 32 feet, you have all that and a little extra breathing room.
Common layout options we build:
Wall height matters. 10 feet works for most cars and standard trucks. 12 feet gives you clearance for a lift, a small RV, or overhead storage. 14 feet is for larger RVs or a mezzanine.

In a conventionally framed home, the structure relies on a series of load-bearing stud walls, beams, and joists to support the weight of the building. The framing is typically made of dimensional lumber or engineered wood products. On the other hand, a post-frame home utilizes large vertical wood columns or posts placed at regular intervals to support the roof and walls. These posts are embedded directly into the ground or mounted on concrete piers.
Both styles of home can accommodate a wide variety of interior and exterior finishes.
We’ve learned that the term “barndominium” means different things to different people. However, it often refers to a simple, post-frame home with a floorplan that is not limited by load-bearing walls. Whether you choose this style of construction or a conventionally-framed structure, we specialize in premium living spaces that meet your living requirements and emphasize quality at every step.
The primary difference between these two styles of construction is the foundation (posts vs. load bearing walls). Choosing one or the other does not affect the overall cost of the home. Mechanical systems, flooring, cabinetry, windows, and other interior and exterior finishes cost the same, regardless of the foundation type.
