Black Barndominiums You Can Actually Build: Floor Plans & Photos
Bold. Modern. Built to turn heads. 
We’re seeing a major rise in black barndominiums, and it’s easy to see why:
At My Barndo Plans, we’ve seen a surge in interest in one very specific and striking style choice: Black barndominiums are an Architectural Trend. There’s just something bold and beautiful about a black exterior on a barndominium. It blends modern design with country living in a way that’s hard to beat. Tricorn Black from Sherwin-Williams metal coatings is the most common dark siding color sold so far in 2025.
Whether you’re looking to build your dream home on acreage, add a second home on your property, or create the ultimate vacation rental, these black barndominium designs offer something special. And yes, we have photos of each of these plans finished in black so you can see exactly how incredible they look.
Metal Siding and Roofing. At My Barndo Plans, the default siding and roofing is called PBR Metal Panels. PBR siding is a type of metal siding made from steel panels shaped into a series of wide and narrow ridges. It gets its name from “Purlin Bearing Rib,” a fancy way of saying that the panel design makes it extra strong and easier to attach to a building’s framing.
How Black Paint is Applied to Metal Siding Panels (Like PBR)
The color you see on PBR siding, including rich blacks, isn’t just sprayed on at the job site. It’s factory-applied using a high-tech, multi-layer process that’s designed to last for decades.
