Today’s pole barn is a versatile structure that can be fully accessorized to match any desired functionality or aesthetic. With a little effort, you can make investments in your structure that will pay off in countless ways. Here are five of the most popular accessories that will help owners to get the most out of their barn.

1. Overhead Hoses

No matter how a pole barn is used, it’s important to keep it clean. An overhead hose is an excellent way to reach the entire space quickly and easily, ensuring maximum cleanliness. It’s also out of the way, guaranteeing that no one accidentally trips on it.

2. Owl & Bat Houses

Having a natural predator around the barn to get rid of vermin and insects is a natural alternative to costly and toxic pesticides. By installing an owl or bat house, you’ll keep bugs and mice away from your building.

3. Restroom

Whether the barn is being used for recreational or commercial uses, having a place to go to the bathroom is extremely convenient. A septic tank or composting toilet will reduce the cost versus those associated with adding a sewer hookup.

4. Solar Panels

If the barn gets a lot of sun exposure, installing solar panels on the roof will save you money. The panels will decrease the need to pay for municipal power, and in some cases, they will even generate enough electricity for complete energy independence.

5. Security Lights

Illuminating a barn at night makes sure that no one can slip into it undetected. If there is a burglary or other emergency, they also help emergency services find the building.
