The Barn Store

What The Barn Store does

The Barn Store is a family-owned post-frame (pole barn) construction company headquartered in Gallatin, Tennessee, that has been operating since 1999 under the Christian family's ownership. The legal entity is Three Boys Consulting LLC, with Austin Christian as Owner-CEO, Jeff Christian as Owner-Partner, and Michael Christian as COO, supported by a roster of roughly 25 specialized staff across sales, drafting, excavation, logistics, and operations. The company offers four core product lines — Barns, Garages, Homes (barn homes), and Barndominiums — delivered as turnkey projects from initial design and on-site consultation through excavation, construction, and electrical finish work.

The underlying technology is post-frame (pole barn) construction, a method using large poles or posts as primary structural support that enables wide clear-span interiors without load-bearing walls. This approach is positioned as faster to build, lower in material and labor cost, and capable of 40-60+ year service life compared with conventional stick-built construction. The Barn Store is a member of the National Frame Building Association (NFBA), and all staff are bonded and insured. Showcase projects include luxury barndominiums for a wedding venue/Airbnb (Stonewall Meadows), a 40x90x12 barndominium outside Nashville (Vale Lane Farms), and residential builds in Middle Tennessee.

The business model is project-based and one-time per build, with revenue generated through custom quotes after face-to-face property assessment and a stated 24-hour quote turnaround. Pricing is not publicly disclosed. Go-to-market is sales-led and direct, supplemented by a content-marketing website, a Heyzine flip-book digital catalog, and a Facebook presence used for social proof via customer reviews. The company restricts its service area to a 75-mile radius around Gallatin, serving customers across Middle Tennessee, and is bootstrapped with no external institutional investment.

Direct peers

• Wick Buildings: Wick Buildings is a regional post-frame builder in the Upper Midwest specializing in custom pole barns, equestrian facilities, hobby shops, and barndominiums. Comparable to The Barn Store on product mix and post-frame construction methodology, though geographic coverage differs.
• Morton Buildings: Morton Buildings is the largest post-frame / pole-barn construction company in the United States, building custom barns, garages, equestrian facilities, and barndominiums across a wide geographic footprint. It is the most directly comparable scaled counterpart to The Barn Store on technology (post-frame construction), product mix, and sales-led custom-build model, though Morton operates nationally rather than within a single 75-mile radius.
• FBi Buildings: FBi Buildings is a Midwest/regional post-frame construction company offering custom pole barns, post-frame homes, and agricultural buildings. It competes with The Barn Store on core construction technique, custom-build process, and barndominium-style residential offerings.
• Greiner Buildings: Greiner Buildings is a multi-state post-frame construction company specializing in custom pole barns, garages, and agricultural structures. Comparable to The Barn Store on construction methodology (post-frame) and turnkey project delivery from design to completion.
• National Barn Company: National Barn Company is a custom post-frame builder offering equestrian, agricultural, and residential structures across multiple U.S. regions. Comparable on product mix (barns, barndominiums, garages) and the consultative, quote-based sales process used by The Barn Store.
• Cleary Building Corp: Cleary Building Corp is a national post-frame builder that designs, manufactures, and constructs pole barns, garages, commercial structures, and custom buildings across multiple U.S. states. It competes with The Barn Store on the same core technology (post-frame construction), product categories (storage, ag, residential), and direct-sales/contractor model.
• Hansen Pole Buildings: Hansen Pole Buildings designs and supplies pole barn building kits and plans that customers (or their contractors) erect. While distribution is kit-based rather than turnkey build, Hansen competes for the same end customer and uses the same post-frame construction principles as The Barn Store.
• Lester Buildings: Lester Buildings is a regional post-frame builder that designs, manufactures, and constructs custom pole barns, equestrian buildings, and barndominiums across the Midwest. Comparable to The Barn Store on technology (post-frame) and the custom-project, direct-sales delivery model.

Emerging players

• Tuff Shed: Tuff Shed is a national installer of pre-engineered wooden storage sheds, garages, and small buildings sold and built on customer sites via a direct-sales model. Overlap with The Barn Store is partial (storage buildings, garages, direct sales), but Tuff Shed focuses on smaller, standardized sheds rather than full custom pole-barn homes.

Broad incumbents

• ShelterLogic Group: ShelterLogic (parent of brands like Arrow, ShelterLogic, and Run-In Sheds) is a broad outdoor-storage and shelter provider selling portable garages, sheds, and fabric buildings through retail channels. It does not compete on custom post-frame construction but operates in the same end-customer category of rural/outdoor storage buildings.
