Best Barns was founded in 1985 in Greenville, PA by a local businessman who aspired to provide high quality, affordable backyard wooden shed kits. "Barn in a Box" was created and quickly caught the attention of regional retail chains who jumped on board without hesitation and began selling Best Barns products.

Reimagining DIY: From Weekend Project to Long-Term Asset

Where most shed kits focus on quick assembly or cutting corners to reduce cost, Best Barns focuses on lasting value. Their structures are engineered for high wind and snow load capacities, use premium lumber, and architecturally thoughtful designs.

The addition of LP® SmartSide® Trim and Siding is the perfect example of how the brand blends innovation and practicality:

• Engineered for Durability: LP SmartSide panels are treated with the SmartGuard® manufacturing process to resist moisture, termites, and fungal decay

• Weather Resistant: Sheds equipped with LP SmartSide panels stand up better to harsh climates, reducing warping, cracking, and maintenance costs over time.

• DIY-Friendly Finish: LP SmartSide Panels come primed and ready to be painted, giving the homeowners the flexibility to choose a paint or stain

By offering this kind of material in their standard kits, Best Barns is elevating expectations for what a "shed" can be.

Precision Engineering Meets Customization

Best Barns doesn’t just ship you a pile of lumber—they deliver pre-cut, precision components alongside detailed building instructions. They offer a variety of options, which shows a deep commitment to structural reliability—while allowing customers the freedom to tailor doors, windows, and exterior finishes to their liking.

This blend of standardization + personalization is what makes Best Barns stand out. It’s a builder’s mindset, applied to a DIY format.

A Category Leader in Prefab Innovation

Best Barns is redefining what prefab should mean:

• Homeowner-centric design: Every product is made with the end user in mind—simple to build, long-lasting, and visually appealing.

• Material innovation: LP SmartSide is just one of several thoughtful inclusions that help Best Barns kits withstand the test of time.

• Support and service: From U.S.-based customer service to accessible online manuals and step-by-step support, the brand empowers customers to succeed, regardless of their DIY experience level.

Best Barns has remained a leading manufacturer of premium DIY wooden storage structures for over 40 years.
