Building the Double D Barndominium Near Athens, GA
We are building another Double D Barndominium just outside Athens, Georgia. This project highlights another option for our customers who want the strength of steel combined with the flexibility of wood framing.
The main structure, including all support posts, beams, and rafters, is built with Red Iron steel for maximum durability and precision. The secondary walls are framed with 2×6 and 2×4 lumber, making it easier and more affordable to handle interior finish work.
This hybrid design gives homeowners the best of both worlds. You get the strength and longevity of steel with the versatility of wood. The Double D Barndominium Hybrid also makes it simple to use traditional siding materials like Hardie Plank or cement board board and batten for a classic residential look.
As this build comes together, we will share photos and updates from the job site to show how this approach blends performance, value, and style in one great home.
