What is a Vertical Roof Metal Barn?

A vertical roof barn uses an A-frame design where the steel roof panels run from the peak straight down to the sides of the building. This means rain, snow, and debris slide right off the roof instead of sitting on top and creating problems over time.

To support this panel layout, extra horizontal framing pieces (called hat channels) are added across the roof. These framing components give the panels something solid to attach to, which also adds extra strength to the overall structure. The result is a barn that handles bad weather better, stays cleaner, and holds up longer compared to regular and horizontal roof styles.

If your barn is longer than 36 feet, a vertical roof is required. It is also the best option if you live in an area with heavy snow, strong winds, or frequent storms.

Why Choose a Vertical Roof Barn Over Other Roof Styles?

There are three common roof styles available for metal barns: regular style, horizontal (A-frame horizontal), and vertical. Here is how the vertical roof stacks up:

Better Water and Snow Drainage: Because the roof panels run up and down rather than side to side, water and snow flow directly off the roof with no places to collect. This keeps your barn drier and reduces the chance of rust or leaks developing over the years.

Stronger Structure: The added framing that comes with a vertical roof setup makes the whole building more rigid. This matters a lot in areas that see high winds, heavy snowfall, or severe storms.

Longer Lifespan: Less moisture builds up and a stronger frame means less wear on the building over time. A vertical roof barn from Viking Barns is built to give you many years of reliable use with very little maintenance.

Required for Larger Barns: Any barn that exceeds 36 feet in length needs a vertical roof installation. So, if you are planning a larger structure, this is the style you will need from the start.

Cleaner Appearance: Vertical panels give the barn a sharp, clean look that holds up well over time. Dirt and debris do not collect on the roof surface the same way they do with other panel orientations.

What Can You Use a Vertical Roof Metal Barn For?

Our vertical roof steel barns are used for all kinds of purposes. Here are some of the most common applications:

Farm and Equipment Storage: Keep your tractors, plows, hay, feed, and other agricultural equipment out of the weather. A steel barn protects your investment and keeps your tools ready when you need them.

Livestock Housing: Our barns can be set up to house horses, cattle, chickens, and other animals. Add stalls, ventilation panels, windows, or walk doors to create a comfortable and functional shelter for your animals.

Workshops and Garages: Need a large, open space to work on vehicles, run a mechanic shop, or build things? A vertical roof barn gives you the ceiling height and floor space to work comfortably.

Hay and Feed Storage: Keeping hay dry is one of the most important things you can do on a working farm. A tight, well-drained vertical roof barn keeps moisture out, so your feed stays in good condition.

Commercial and Business Use: From contractor storage yards to retail spaces, our large vertical roof barns offer plenty of usable square footage for business applications.

Event Venues: Many customers use our barns as event spaces for weddings, private parties, and community gatherings. The open interior layout and fully customizable design make them a great fit for this purpose.

Customize Your Vertical Roof Barn at Viking Barns

No two properties are exactly alike, and we do not think your barn should be either. At Viking Barns, every structure is made to order. You choose the size, color, framing gauge, and add-ons that fit your specific needs and budget.

Here is a look at what you can customize:

Size: We offer a wide range of widths, lengths, and heights. Whether you need a smaller 24×30 storage barn or a large 60×100 commercial-grade structure, we can build it for you.

Frame Gauge: Choose from 14-gauge or 12-gauge steel framing. Heavier gauge framing adds more strength to the building, which is a good idea for areas with heavy snow loads or high wind speeds.

Roof, Wall, and Trim Colors: Pick from a full range of color options to match your property. Mix and match roof, wall, and trim colors to get the look you want.

Doors and Windows: Add walk doors, roll-up doors, windows, and other openings wherever you need them. We can place them on any wall of the building.

Enclosures: Decide how many sides of the barn you want enclosed. Some customers want a fully enclosed barn, while others prefer one or two open sides for easy drive-through access.

Insulation: Add insulation to keep the interior more comfortable year-round. This is especially helpful if you plan to use the barn as a workshop or spend extended time inside.

Anchors and Foundation: We can install your barn on a concrete slab, asphalt, gravel, or dirt. The anchoring system used will depend on your foundation type.

Vertical Roof Barn Sizes and Prices

The price of your vertical roof metal barn will depend on several factors, including the width, length, and height of the building, the frame gauge you choose, the number and type of doors and windows, any add-ons like insulation or custom colors, your location and local building code requirements, and certification needs.

We offer a wide selection of sizes to fit different needs and budgets. Contact our team at (704) 579-6966 for a custom quote based on your specific requirements.

Building Permits and Local Codes

Before placing your order, it is a good idea to check with your local county or city building department about permit requirements in your area. Rules about what is allowed vary from one location to the next based on zoning, land use, and local weather loads.

If your county requires certified buildings (which means the structure meets specific engineering standards for wind and snow loads), we can provide certified options. Just let us know what you need when you reach out for your quote.

Skipping this step can cause problems later, so we always recommend taking care of permits before your barn is installed.

Financing and Rent-to-Own Options

We want to make sure cost does not get in the way of getting the building you need. That is why Viking Barns offers flexible financing and rent-to-own programs for qualified customers.

With rent-to-own, you can get your barn installed with little money down and make affordable monthly payments. There is no credit check required for most rent-to-own agreements.

Our financing options give you another way to increase the cost of your new steel barn over time. Talk to one of our team members to find out which option works best for you.

Installation, Delivery Time & Estimates

Once your order is placed and your site is ready, we will schedule a delivery and installation date that works for you. Our professional installation crews handle the entire setup from start to finish.

Based on our work experience and the projects we have completed all around the USA, here are some estimated data about order delivery in the specified time range.

• 50% Orders (10-60 Days)
• 30% Orders (61-80 Days)
• 19% Orders (81-100 Days)
• 01% Orders (101 or More)

As you can see, half of our orders get delivered in 10-60 days. So, if you buy from us, there is a 50% probability that you will get your vertical roof barn within 2 months. Furthermore, 30% of orders take 20 more days to reach their destination, and 19% consume 81-100 days. Only 1% of orders take more than 100 days to reach consumers.

It rarely happens! But customers must know that estimated delivery time frames are not guaranteed. Many factors like that affect the delivery time, including demand, supply, design aspects, material availability, customizations, transportation, and others.

Our metal building executives work closely with each customer to communicate at which stage of the construction process we’re in and when they can expect their metal building delivery.

Apart from the above, before your install date, make sure your site is level, clear of any obstacles, and ready for the foundation type you have chosen. Our team will walk you through what to expect before installation day.
