Ranch Barn Style Sheds in Bowie

Let's do something meaningful together

Bowie Ranch Barn Style Sheds

The ranch or barn style shed roof is similar to the gambrel roof of colonial barn architecture by the settlers in New York, Delaware, New Jersey, Pennsylvania, and western Connecticut built homes that reflected their Dutch culture. Later, by the late 19th century, Americans began to look back romantically on their colonial roots. This nostalgia began to be reflected in American colonial revival architecture. Examples can be seen all over the United States, even here in Bowie. Within this colonial revival, one of the more popular designs was a redo of the original Dutch colonial. This design provided the advantage of a sloped roof, while maximizing head space.

A “barn” roof or a “ranch-style” shed roof is also known as a “gambrel.” It is a symmetrical two-sided roof with two slopes on each side. (The usual architectural term in eighteenth-century England and North America was “Dutch roof.”) The name comes from the Medieval Latin word gamba, meaning horse’s hock or leg.” (1)

The upper slope is positioned at a shallow angle, while the lower slope is steep. This design provides the advantages of a sloped roof while maximizing headroom inside the building’s upper level and shortening what would otherwise be a tall roof.

One advantage of using wood sheds over metal versions is that it is easier to modify them by adding windows, doors, shelving, or exterior trim (etc.) because wood can be cut and drilled using commonly available tools, whereas a plastic or metal shed requires specialized tools. Some homeowners may prefer wood sheds because wood is a renewable resource.

These storage sheds features classic barn roofs or ranch styling. Many have extra wide door openings that easily accommodate lawnmowers, tractors, bicycles and other gardening equipment. They have asphalt shingles, or Metal roofing, resilient wood siding and a strong wood frame.
