For More Than an Ordinary Barn, Get the Modern Barn with Rich Color

Make the right decisions and you will own a modern barn. The idea of building a barn in Douglas County, Colorado could conjure up mucky stables, unorganized storage, or an outbuilding without any amenities. But here comes today’s engineering and technology, and the modern barn is born.
Build a place to hang out with colleagues, family and friends. Make it extraordinary. Choose rich colors, complementary jewel tones and use texture and accessories. Your new pole building barn may just turn into your happy place. 

To Design a Sleek or Rustic Horse Barn

Now, there are many unique communities in Douglas County. So, the exterior design will come together based on the barn’s location. You may consider a sleek urban design for your property in Aurora, Littleton, or Long Tree. Then again, rustic designs may blend into the terrain of Sedalia, Larkspur and Roxborough with the elegant casual look around Parker, Castle Rock, and Castle Pines. It is always an individual choice.

Regardless of the exterior design, all our Central Colorado pole buildings will be “modern”. We use this word to reflect not only design but the high-quality design decisions, craftsmanship, materials and engineering make our modern barns stand out. Through the partnership with Lester Buildings, Sapphire Construction combines our decades of construction experience with decades of experience and knowledge at Lester Buildings.

Modern Barn Elements

Below are some of the modern features now standard or optional in our pole buildings:

1. Graded lumber carefully selected for specific purposes in the building.
2. Air quality designed to enhance healthy indoor spaces.
3. Metals purposefully coated to last a lifetime.
4. Choices of extremely reliable insulation.
5. Complete building system with components unique to design and purpose.
6. Superior paints, coatings, and color choices.
7. Uni Rib roof panels
8. Calculated to endure Douglas County wind and snow loads

Multi-Use Buildings

One of the most popular features of the modern barn is its flexibility. Our clients are having fun combining the primary function of their barns with more purposes. For example, they may need a shelter for horses but add a garage. One person expanded a large garage to build a stage for live music and social events. Then we worked with a car collector. He wanted an adjoining bar and hangout in his pole barn building. On occasion clients ask about barns with living quarters, and that is a more complicated, although doable, project.
