Metal Colonial Buildings for Sale

From $3,195 · Rent-to-own, no credit check · Free delivery & installation

Metal colonial buildings combine the aesthetic appeal of traditional American architecture — barn-red paint, decorative cupolas, two-tone wainscot siding, dormered rooflines, and sliding carriage-style doors — with the unbeatable durability of pre-engineered galvanized steel. These are the metal buildings that look like they belong on a farmhouse property, in a historic district, or alongside a traditional home — not generic storage sheds. If you want the lifespan and low maintenance of steel without sacrificing curb appeal, HOA compliance, or neighborhood character, metal colonial buildings are the right category.

  • Early buyout option

    Pay off any time with no prepayment penalty. Many customers pay off within 18-24 months.

  • All colonial features included

    Cupolas, wainscot, dormers, decorative trim — all available on rent-to-own buildings with no extra qualification requirements.

What Makes a Metal Building 'Colonial'?

Colonial-style metal buildings borrow their aesthetic from 17th- and 18th-century American architecture — specifically the agricultural and residential structures of colonial New England and the Mid-Atlantic. The pre-engineered steel frame is the same as our standard buildings, but the exterior detailing creates the traditional look.

The 6 signature colonial features

  1. $295-$895

    1. Cupola with weather vane

    The small decorative tower at the roof peak. Original cupolas provided ventilation for hay lofts and bell storage; modern cupolas serve the same function (natural ridge ventilation) plus pure aesthetic appeal. Options: 24-inch cupola ($295), 36-inch cupola with weather vane ($495), 48-inch large cupola with copper roof detail ($895).

  2. +$4.50 / lin ft

    2. Wainscot (two-tone siding)

    The hallmark of American farmhouse architecture — the lower 3-4 feet of exterior wall painted a different color than the upper walls. Classic combinations: white over red (signature barn), cream over black (Pennsylvania farmhouse), gray over white (New England coastal). Transforms the aesthetic completely.

  3. Included

    3. Decorative gable trim

    Fascia boards along the gable ends with scrollwork or decorative shapes. Included on all our colonial builds at no extra charge — the detail that signals 'this is a colonial, not a shed.'

  4. $1,195-$2,995

    4. Dormers

    Projecting roof extensions with their own windows, creating character on long roof lines. Options: 2-ft dormer ($1,195), 4-ft dormer with window ($1,795), 6-ft dormer with full window and door ($2,995).

  5. $595-$1,195

    5. Carriage-style doors

    Sliding or hinged doors that resemble original barn carriage doors — exterior track or hinge-mounted, often with X-pattern crossbracing. Options: 8-ft sliding carriage door ($595), 10-ft hinged carriage with hardware ($895), 12-ft double-wide carriage with X-brace detail ($1,195).

  6. $295-$495

    6. Dutch doors (upper/lower split)

    Classic colonial detail — the top half opens independently from the bottom. Standard on all colonial barn configurations; available as an entry door upgrade on garages and workshops.

Colonial Color Palette: Historic + Modern Options

Our 14-color paint palette includes both historic colonial colors (based on actual 18th-century American farmhouse colors) and modern options for buyers wanting traditional silhouettes with contemporary color choices.

Historic colonial colors

  • Barn Red

    The signature American farmhouse color. Original red barn paint was made from iron oxide (rust) mixed with linseed oil — effective rust protection that happened to be red. Our modern Barn Red matches the historic iron-oxide tone.

  • Williamsburg White

    Named for colonial Williamsburg, Virginia. Warm off-white typical of New England farmhouses and colonial Mid-Atlantic properties.

  • Charleston Green

    Dark forest green — the color of Southern plantation outbuildings and Low Country carriage houses.

  • Colonial Blue

    Grayish-blue typical of New England coastal architecture. Associated with historic maritime properties.

  • Weathered Barn Brown

    The faded red-brown that natural weathered barn-wood takes on after decades. Rustic farmhouse aesthetic.

  • Classic Black

    Common for modern-colonial hybrids and contemporary farmhouse styling.

Modern options for colonial silhouettes

  • Hunter Green

    Deep green with gray undertones, popular for modern farmhouse.

  • Charcoal Gray

    Trendy modern-farmhouse exterior color.

  • Navy Blue

    Nautical colonial variant, popular on coastal properties.

  • Sage Green

    Soft green for garden-adjacent buildings.

  • Cream

    Lighter alternative to Williamsburg White.

  • Burgundy

    Deep red alternative to classic Barn Red.

  • Buckskin Tan

    Earth-tone option for Southwest or rustic settings.

  • Galvalume

    Unpainted bare galvanized steel, modern-industrial look (less colonial but available).

Where Metal Colonial Buildings Fit Best

Colonial styling earns its place wherever a metal building will be seen next to a traditional home, under HOA or preservation rules, or from the road.

  • Farmhouse and historic property owners

    Modern farmhouses, historic homes, and properties in rural traditional settings benefit most from colonial-styled outbuildings. Standard metal buildings often clash with these aesthetics; colonial-styled metal buildings complement them while delivering superior durability and lower maintenance than wood alternatives.

  • HOA-governed properties

    Many HOAs require accessory buildings to match the primary residence in style and color. Colonial-styled metal buildings with wainscot, decorative trim, and appropriate paint colors meet these requirements where plain metal shed designs would be rejected. We provide stamped drawings showing exact colors and detailing for HOA submission.

  • Historic districts and preservation zones

    Some historic districts allow new construction only in architectural styles matching the district's historic character. Colonial-styled buildings with cupolas, wainscot, and traditional detailing often qualify where plain modern construction wouldn't. Always verify with your local preservation commission before ordering.

  • Horse and equestrian properties

    The classic 'red barn with white trim' aesthetic has deep cultural resonance in equestrian properties. Our colonial horse barns deliver this traditional look while providing modern horse welfare features (proper ventilation, horse-friendly flooring, Dutch doors for airflow).

  • Pool houses, pavilions & entertainment structures

    Guest cottages, pool houses, and outdoor entertainment pavilions benefit from colonial styling — they read as architectural rather than utilitarian. The two-tone wainscot and cupola details transform a plain structure into a property-defining feature.

  • Rural residential and hobby farms

    For properties where the metal building will be visible from the main residence, driveway, or road, colonial styling preserves property aesthetics. Standard metal construction can read as 'commercial' or 'industrial' in these settings; colonial detailing keeps it residential.

Metal Colonial Building Specifications & Materials

The same pre-engineered steel as our standard buildings, with colonial detailing built in at the factory. See state-by-state requirements.

  • Framing

    14-gauge galvanized steel (standard, 10-year warranty) or 12-gauge upgrade (20-year warranty, +15%). Frame bows every 5 feet with hat channel reinforcement on vertical roofs.

  • Panels

    29-gauge painted steel (standard, 20-year paint warranty) or 26-gauge upgrade (40-year paint warranty, +8%). 14 color options including all historic colonial colors.

  • Wainscot panels

    Separate panel sections in contrasting color, properly flashed at the wainscot line for weather tightness. Added at manufacturing — fully integrated, not a cosmetic overlay.

  • Cupolas

    Pre-assembled cupola units with weather vanes, included hardware for roof mounting. Sizes: 24-inch, 36-inch (with weather vane), 48-inch (with copper roof detail option).

  • Trim

    Decorative gable trim included on all colonial configurations. Additional decorative trim options available (fascia detail, corner boards, window trim).

  • Doors

    Carriage-style sliding or hinged doors with authentic hardware (galvanized track, pulls, hinges). Dutch door upgrades available on man-doors and barn configurations.

  • Wind rating

    90-170 mph depending on roof configuration (boxed-eave vs vertical) and framing gauge.

  • Snow load

    20-50 psf depending on roof style. Vertical roof upgrade (40-50 psf) recommended for snow country.

  • Warranty

    Same as our standard construction — 10-year framing (14-gauge), 20-year framing (12-gauge), 20-year paint (29-gauge), 40-year paint (26-gauge).

How Metal Colonial Compares to Our Other Barn Styles

Our Metal Colonial Buildings share some overlap with other Bulldog product lines. Here's how they differ.

  • vs Carolina Barns

    Both use boxed-eave A-frame roofs. Carolina barns are the Southeast farmhouse aesthetic baseline — colonial buildings add the premium detailing (cupolas, wainscot, dormers, carriage doors). Think of Carolina barns as the entry-level colonial and metal colonial as the fully-decorated upgrade.

  • vs Seneca Barns

    Seneca is purpose-built for horse operations (hybrid vertical/horizontal roof with built-in lean-tos). Metal Colonial Barns offer traditional aesthetics but on standard roof configurations. Choose Seneca if horses are the primary use; choose Colonial if aesthetics matter equally.

  • vs Vertical Roof Metal Buildings

    Vertical roof is engineering-focused (snow/hurricane country). Colonial buildings add decorative styling on top of standard roof options. For snow-country buyers who also want colonial styling, we can combine vertical roof + colonial detailing (adds +25% for vertical roof + applicable colonial detailing costs).

  • vs Metal Garages (standard)

    Standard metal garages are utilitarian focused — lowest cost, no decorative detailing. Metal Colonial Garages are the aesthetic upgrade for buyers who want their garage to match their house. Typical price premium: 25-45% over standard metal garages.

Frequently Asked Questions About Metal Colonial Buildings

1. What makes a metal building 'colonial'?

+

Metal colonial buildings combine standard pre-engineered steel construction with traditional American colonial architectural detailing: decorative cupolas with weather vanes, wainscot two-tone siding (lower walls in a contrasting color), decorative gable trim, dormers, carriage-style sliding or hinged doors, Dutch doors (upper/lower split), and historic colonial paint colors (Barn Red, Williamsburg White, Charleston Green). The structural engineering is identical to our standard metal buildings — the colonial elements are exterior aesthetic features applied on top.

2. How much does a metal colonial building cost?

+

Metal colonial buildings at Bulldog Steel Structures range from $3,195 (12x21 colonial carport with decorative trim) to $42,995 (40x50 colonial facility with full detailing package). Most common configurations: 1-car colonial garage with wainscot ($8,995-$9,795), 2-car colonial garage with wainscot and cupola ($12,495-$14,795), 3-stall colonial barn ($10,995-$14,495), colonial workshop with dormer ($15,995). All prices include free delivery, installation, and standard colonial detailing.

3. What's the difference between a colonial metal building and a Carolina barn?

+

Both use boxed-eave A-frame roofs — the shared Southeast farmhouse silhouette. Carolina Barns are our entry-level traditional-styled barns with decorative gable trim included at base price. Metal Colonial Buildings add premium detailing: cupolas with weather vanes, wainscot two-tone siding, dormers, carriage-style doors, Dutch doors, and expanded color options. Think of Carolina Barns as the foundation style and Metal Colonial Buildings as the fully-decorated upgrade. Price difference: 15-30% premium for full colonial detailing.

4. Can I get a metal colonial building without a cupola?

+

Yes. The cupola is an optional add-on, not required for colonial styling. Many buyers go with the wainscot + decorative gable trim combination (which still reads clearly as colonial from the street) and skip the cupola to save $295-$895. Alternatively, we offer the 24-inch basic cupola at $295 as an affordable entry point. The decision usually comes down to how prominent the roof peak will be from viewing angles — tall buildings benefit visually from a cupola, lower buildings often look fine without one.

5. What is 'wainscot' on a metal building?

+

Wainscot is the lower 3-4 feet of exterior wall painted in a contrasting color to the upper walls — the signature American farmhouse two-tone look (classic white over red, cream over black, gray over white). On our metal colonial buildings, wainscot is created with separate colored panels installed with proper weather flashing at the wainscot transition line. Cost: $4.50 per linear foot of exterior wall. For a 24x30 building, that's roughly $486 in wainscot costs — a modest investment for a dramatic aesthetic transformation.

6. Do metal colonial buildings meet HOA requirements?

+

In most cases, yes. Many HOAs that reject plain metal sheds or utilitarian metal buildings do accept colonial-styled metal buildings with appropriate detailing (wainscot, decorative trim, appropriate colors matching the main residence). We provide stamped drawings showing exact colors, detailing, and dimensions for HOA submission. Pre-submit the drawings to your HOA architectural committee before ordering to confirm approval. Common HOA preferences: colonial detailing included, Barn Red or Williamsburg White base colors, wainscot in white or cream.

7. Can I add colonial features to a building I already own?

+

Partial yes. Cupolas can be retrofitted onto existing metal buildings as roof-top additions ($295-$895 unit cost + $200-$450 installation). Decorative trim can be added as surface-applied detailing. Wainscot retrofits are more complex — the two-tone look requires either repainting (expensive and reduces warranty coverage) or applying new panel sections over existing walls (works but adds thickness). The best approach: order wainscot at initial build time (manufactured-in, warranty-preserving, cost-effective). Retrofits always cost more and look less integrated.

8. What colors are available for metal colonial buildings?

+

14 color options including 6 historic colonial colors (Barn Red, Williamsburg White, Charleston Green, Colonial Blue, Weathered Barn Brown, Classic Black) and 8 modern options (Hunter Green, Charcoal Gray, Navy Blue, Sage Green, Cream, Burgundy, Buckskin Tan, Galvalume). All colors are available for base walls, wainscot (contrasting), trim, and roof. Two-tone combinations: White+Red is the most popular classic American barn look, Cream+Charleston Green for Southern plantation style, Gray+Barn Red for modern farmhouse.

9. Can I install a metal colonial building in a historic district?

+

Depends on the specific historic district. Many preservation commissions require NEW construction to match the district's historic architectural character. Colonial-styled metal buildings often qualify where plain modern construction wouldn't — the cupolas, wainscot, and traditional detailing read as historically appropriate from viewing distance. ALWAYS verify with your local preservation commission or historical review board before ordering. We provide stamped drawings with exact detailing and colors for commission review.

10. What's included in the standard colonial detailing package?

+

Standard colonial detailing included at base price: decorative gable trim, choice of 14 colors (including all historic colonial options), standard galvanized trim, option for 2 window placements. Add-ons priced separately: cupolas ($295-$895), wainscot ($4.50/linear ft), dormers ($1,195-$2,995), carriage doors ($595-$1,195), Dutch doors ($295-$495), decorative shutters ($95-$185 per window). You can order a 'base colonial' with just trim and wainscot (keeps costs modest) or a 'fully-decorated colonial' with cupola, dormers, and carriage doors (premium build).

11. Will my metal colonial building survive severe weather?

+

Yes, same wind and snow ratings as our standard metal buildings. Base colonial: 90-115 mph wind, 20 psf snow (boxed-eave A-frame roof). Vertical roof colonial upgrade: 140-170 mph wind, 40-50 psf snow — recommended for hurricane coasts and snow country. The decorative cupolas are mounted with the same hurricane-grade fastening systems as the main building and are rated to the same wind specifications. For buyers in severe-weather zones who also want colonial styling, we recommend the vertical roof upgrade (+25%) over the standard boxed-eave colonial.

What Our Customers Are Saying

I'm really happy with the way my building turned out! Due to living in city limits I had to make changes to my original plan but working with Bryan made it easy. He was great to work with!
Corey Evans
Bulldog Steel Structures is fantastic. We had a 24'x40' garage built with two 10' garage doors, an entry door, two windows and fully insulated for under $16,000. The whole experience was so easy. Our salesman was Bryan Valadez. Bryan was so helpful and was easily available to answer my questions. Rebekah Aldridge handled all the documents and signing of them. The whole process was great. The building is well constructed and the crew that erected it were courteous and cleaned the worksite afterwords thoroughly. They did an excellent job in a time efficient period. Our experience with Bulldog Steel Structures was just great and we highly recommend them.
Mattie Roberts
I'm in early stages, just put deposit on building. I reviewed about 10 quotes and worked with many vendors in the space to assess. Constance from Bulldog Steel Structures made the experience fabulous and was key in our decision making. It's so refreshing to see a company like this have such outstanding client facing service. We are excited and huge shout out to Constance and the team. Bravo!
Max Escuder
I have purchased two structures/buildings from them and have been greatly satisfied. From "idea to implementation" it has gone smoothly. I love the idea of having one single point of contact (Noah) for any questions or concerns. The install crew comes in and gets right to work and the quality is the best I have seen. Highly Recommend!
Ron Barnes
I worked with Bryan Valadez in putting together my bids for a 2000 SF shop/garage. He was great to work with, very quick to respond and answered all my questions and concerns during several very thorough conversations regarding my project. I recommend you give Bulldog a shot when searching for your next building, their pricing was very good compared with some of the others, and they just seemed to have it very together for their process. Great Job, thanks Bryan. Jason
Jason Ford
Showed up on time and excellent quality. Could not be more pleased with the results!
Drew Hood
I called and spoke to Bryan. With some back and forth he helped me finalize the design (40x100 foot print). I placed my order and had to wait for my King County building permit to be issued. Once the slab was completed the installation team arrived with all the pieces. They got right to work and the building was completed in 8 days !!! I would highly recommend Bryan and Bulldog to any one :) Many thanks john in the pacific northwest
John Marcus
Great company to do business with. Would recommend them to others.
Webster Smith
Great to deal with. Building went up with no problems.
Florida Chapter POCI
I had a great experience with Bulldog Steel Buildings. The representatives were able to help me move from the online design to an actual building design to meet my goals. They set up the delivery and installation which turned out great. Installation was scheduled quickly after the foundation was done; and the building was completed within 2 days. Pricing was reasonable, and I'm very pleased with my new building.

Humberto was very responsive and it was a pleasure to work with. He went above and beyond to get delivery scheduled as soon as possible for our 30x50 building. Great company to work with.

Hey folks - these people at Bulldog are real. Noah helped me all the way through - extremely patient and knowledgeable. He answers most often and when he doesn't it's easy to get another HUMAN to speak with. I looked at several companies for this project - I settled on the right one. If you wind up doing business with Brian - you're in luck there to. Outstanding work - worthy of trust.

I purchased a 26x32 Garage from Bulldog Steel Structures they had it finished in two days. It looks really nice and the install crew was great. I’m thinking of getting another building and I will definitely contact Bryan Valadez again at Bulldog.
Kris Phillips
Great experience from start to finish. The sales process was easy and Casey helped me revise my plans several times to get the right building for my needs. Communication was excellent! The build crew was on time, friendly and professional. Beto took the time to understand what cutouts I needed and why I needed them in the sizes planned. Exceptional work. Highly recommend. Thank you!

Bulldog has been great to work with. They explained everything from beginning to end. I live in the mountains of New Mexico and the staff made sure that my garage had the right support needed for this area of the country. I would highly recommend them for anyone building a new carport or gaeage!

Have had nothing but a positive experience with Bulldog! Bryan was super helpful and still is after our install! He still responds super prompt and helpful. No complaints about our structure, as it looks amazing! Installers did a great job and picked up very nicely after they were done. Highly recommend!!

I have now had my building in place for 3 months and I want to say that the whole team at Bulldog was very helpful throughout the entire process. My salesperson, Matthew, was extremely responsive. He was very helpful with the design phase, where we went back and forth with 3-4 different designs before settling on the perfect one. He always got back to me right away when I had a question. Although the delivery was delayed, understandable with the pandemic, he helped interface with Carolina Carports when I had delivery questions. So far I have no issues with the completed building. No leaks and all the doors are functioning perfectly. I would highly recommend using Bulldog for all your metal building needs.

Frank Rangel was very helpful and respectful. Also very understanding. I was pouring a concrete driveway and trying to put my down payment down. I may of got a little frustrated in the middle of it all. I could see the smile on Frank`s face the whole time! Thank you sir!

Put up a RV cover for me on a concrete pad. Turned out great and the guys cleaned up after the work. Very satisfied. Would recommend these people.

I love my “She Shop.” It was amazingly easy. I sent an email, made 2 phones calls and it was done. The installation went even easier. Three guys showed up one day and finished the next. They were polite and cleaned up after themselves. My husband’s friends are all very impressed with the construction and materials used but were amazed at the reasonable price. I could not be more pleased. Thank you

I visited their website and used the 3D estimator and was able to see my building with doors, window placements, colors,and overall look. When you add or change any feature, including size, you can immediately see the result and change in price (if any). You can rotate the structure to see the overall look and framework. Once I placed my order, it was quickly and efficiently handled and the cost was lower than the estimate on the website The installers showed up early one morning and by noon the next day they had completed the structure. Everyone that comes by remarks on how nice it looks. I am very pleased with every aspect from ordering to installation.
