Setting Columns & Trusses

“I was searching for a steel truss fabricator online and found Worldwide. We love working with steel construction over stick built.”
~Kip

A large, gray metal warehouse, Ref#020732, with a pitched roof is set on a grassy field. The hybrid building features a small door and two windows on its side, while the front has multiple tall sliding doors. A cloudy sky looms in the background.

Worldwide steel trusses are jointed to the columns with large bolts that can resist both vertical and horizontal movement for the most sturdy frame available on the market.

Secondary Framing

Once you have your columns and trusses set, you can begin the secondary framing of the roof, sidewalls and even your porch. The Mercks chose to use wood as the material for their wall girts and roof purlins instead of metal, making it a hybrid steel building.

Interior Wall Placement

The general contractor chose to build out their interior walls as well as the second floor level at the same time for a seamless process that creates efficiency during the building phases.

Second Level Install

The wooden framework of a farmhouse under construction reveals the skeleton of walls and roof against a cloudy sky. The bare ground suggests the early building stages, reminiscent of homes found in Parkwood.

The beauty of a second-level area is that you can increase your living space in the same footprint of the main level for more efficiency.

Window Placement

A Parkwood Farmhouse under construction features wooden framing, as workers use a crane to position beams on the second floor. The setting is an open area with a clear blue sky.

Once your secondary framing is installed, you can begin your window and door installations. The builder chose to do this aspect of the build before they applied the outer shell.

Sheet Metal Roofing

Two construction workers install a large metal roof panel on a wooden building frame using a Gehl telehandler on a sunny day, crafting what will become the new garage of the Parkwood Farmhouse.

Construction workers are installing metal roofing sheets on a wooden frame structure that resembles a farmhouse, using a bucket lift. The building is set against a clear blue sky, and the ground is reddish-brown dirt, reminiscent of the rustic charm found at Parkwood estates.

The builder chose to install the roofing first before the side walls.The builder chose to install the roofing first before the side walls.

Side Wall Install

Construction workers are installing white paneling on the exterior frame of a large Parkwood building using a crane lift and ladder. The site, resembling a future farmhouse, rests on reddish soil with construction materials scattered around. The sky is overcast.

The outer shell was the final phase of the install of the building itself before moving on to the interior construction.

Construction workers are assembling metal siding and roofing on a large Parkwood Garage. The structure features multiple windows, unfinished walls, and a partially covered area. Scattered materials are visible on the ground beneath the cloudy sky.

Interior Design Time

A modern, open-concept kitchen with high ceilings and large windows showcases industrial-style black ducts. It features an island with pendant lights, white cabinetry, stainless steel appliances, and a large antler-style chandelier, embodying a hint of farmhouse charm.

The Mercks chose to sheet rock the interior walls and leave the high ceilings open with exposed trusses and duct work for an open concept design style that is very popular with barndominium builds.

Worldwide’s clear span framing does not require any internal support beams so your wall placement is not restricted and can be framed up as needed.

Custom Wood Accents

Interior of the Parkwood Farmhouse features a high ceiling, wood flooring, and a wooden staircase with metal railing. The space includes a loft area, sliding barn door, large ceiling fan, and wood-paneled wall. Sunlight filters through windows, casting warmth even into the adjacent garage.

“We chose to work with a local saw mill to create a pine wood plank wall design that was kiln dried for the interior space along with some sliding barn doors.”
~Kip

Barndo Lovers Unite

“Our small barndo community on 23 acres is growing fast. We already sold seven lots. We built this one for my son. Next is one for my daughter and her husband. We already have several orders from Worldwide to build more!”
~Kip

A large white barn reminiscent of a classic farmhouse sits in a grassy field, silhouetted against a vibrant sunset sky with scattered clouds. The barn features several small cupolas on its roof and is surrounded by dense greenery.
