Gambrel Style Steel Buildings By AmeriBuilt
Gambrel Steel Buildings offer a perfect balance of traditional charm and modern efficiency. Known for their distinctive roofline—featuring two slopes on each side—the gambrel design has long been favored in agricultural and residential settings. When paired with the strength and durability of steel, it becomes one of the most versatile building styles available today.
All gambrel buildings are constructed with high-grade steel framing and panels, making them resistant to wind, fire, pests, and moisture. Steel construction also allows for long clear spans and fewer interior columns.
Why the Gambrel?
Common Uses for Gambrel Steel Buildings
Because of their spacious upper level and adaptable floor plans, gambrel-style steel buildings serve a wide variety of uses, including:
- Horse barns with haylofts
- Two-story barndominiums
- Workshops and garages with upstairs storage
- Equipment storage buildings
- Farm retail or market spaces
- Event venues or agricultural offices
Our Work
Gambrel Portfolio
A Gambrel Steel Building is defined by its double-sloped roof: a steeper lower pitch and a shallower upper slope. This creates a classic barn-like profile that’s instantly recognizable. But the gambrel roof is more than just a visual feature—it significantly increases overhead space, making it ideal for lofts, storage, and multi-level interiors.

A Gambrel Style Steel Building features a roof with two slopes on each side—the lower slope is steeper, and the upper slope is shallower. This creates a barn-like profile that maximizes overhead space and allows for lofts or second floors, making it ideal for agricultural, residential, or multi-purpose use.
The main benefit of a gambrel roof is the extra interior headroom without increasing overall height. This allows for more usable space in the upper portion of the building, perfect for hay storage, equipment, or second-story living quarters—something a traditional gable roof doesn’t easily offer.
Yes. Gambrel style steel buildings are a popular choice for barndominiums and custom homes because the unique roofline allows for spacious lofts and open-concept layouts. The traditional barn look also appeals to homeowners seeking a rustic or farmhouse-style aesthetic.
Gambrel buildings can be slightly more expensive due to the added complexity of the roof design compared to simpler styles like gable or single-slope. However, the additional usable upper-level space often offsets the cost, especially in designs that include a loft or second story.
Gambrel steel buildings are commonly used for horse barns, hay storage, workshops with lofts, equipment garages, barndominiums, and event spaces. Their unique structure offers flexibility for both agricultural and residential applications.
