The Pioneer B004 | Stunning Barndominium with Garage

PAGE CONTENT

The Pioneer | B004

A barndominium that shares a wall with a garage is really two buildings under one roofline. The Pioneer B004 is a 38×60 barndominium in Pennsylvania with an attached 48×42 garage, two black garage doors, and covered porches on the front and side. Ash gray siding, a charcoal roof, and stone wainscoting tie the pieces together.

This barndominium with attached garage keeps the house and the shop separate. Read how before you plan yours.

Why Choose Pioneer?

A barndominium with a garage must keep two spaces apart. Here is how Pioneer Buildings, a Pennsylvania barndominium builder, set this one up:

A fire-rated wall: 5/8-inch fire-rated gypsum and two 20-minute fire-rated doors separate the house from the 48×42 garage.
Porches in the frame: Vaulted 10/12 porches with exposed truss bottom chords wrap the front and dining side, on 14 pine-wrapped posts.
A roof shaped by room: Scissor trusses open the family room and kitchen, and attic trusses cover the master bedroom side.
Heat in the floor: An LP boiler runs in-floor radiant heat for the house and shop, with LP forced air and AC.
A stone base: 36-inch Saginaw Ledgestone wainscoting runs from the garage corner to the dining porch.

Want to personalize your build? We offer a variety of siding styles, including metal in 18 colors, vinyl, stone veneer, and board-and-batten. Roofing options include metal and shingles. With upgraded hardware, customizable interior layouts, and a wide selection of accessories, you can create a building that matches your style, needs, and goals.

Frequently Asked Questions

How do you add covered porches to a post-frame barndominium?

Build them into the same frame, so roof and posts line up. Here, vaulted 10/12 porches with exposed truss bottom chords sit on pine-wrapped posts, with stone wraps on two front posts.

What are scissor trusses used for in a barndominium?

They vault the ceiling without a taller wall. Here, scissor trusses with a 5/12 interior pitch open the family room and kitchen, while attic trusses cover the master bedroom side.

Can you attach a garage to a post-frame barndominium?

Yes, with a fire-rated wall between them. Here, a 48×42 garage shares a common wall with 5/8-inch fire-rated gypsum and two 20-minute fire-rated doors.

How do you heat a barndominium?

Radiant floors, forced air, or both. Here, an LP boiler runs in-floor radiant heat for the house and shop, and LP forced air adds cooling.

Pricing & Financing Options

On a barndominium with an attached garage, the quote follows the systems and finishes more than the footprint. The scissor and attic trusses, Perma-Column posts, two garage doors with openers, stone wainscoting, vaulted porches, in-floor radiant heat, forced air, 400-amp service, and Marvin windows each move the number. Several scopes stay with the owner, such as the well, LP tank, countertops, flooring, and paint. Pioneer does not publish a price because none of those are catalog items. Tell us your plan and your site, and we will price your version.

Financing is available through Hearth. Learn more about our Financing Options, call (888) 448-2505, or Request Your Free Quote to get started.

Final Thoughts

Write down who owns each scope before the contract is signed. On this build, the owner handled the well, the LP tank, tree clearing, countertops, flooring, appliances, and paint, with Pioneer overseeing the schedule. The porch wraps also split: the client supplied the materials, and Pioneer supplied the labor. That split keeps each trade clear. The trade-off is coordination, because owner-managed work has to land inside the build timeline. List every scope and its owner first, and ask each owner-managed trade for a start date.
