While costs are usually top of mind for most people, customers should also consider the building method and materials used to craft their barndominium and how these may impact the longevity of their structure and quality of life. Unlike most barndominiums, which are built with metal or pressure-treated posts embedded directly in the ground, we design our barndominium kits with premium wood materials that bolster their strength, beauty, and comfort in any climate.

Although durable, steel-framed barndominiums can become unbearably hot and dangerous in high heat, making it crucial to add adequate insulation to these structures. Not to mention, steel barndominiums are far less eco-friendly and low-maintenance than their wood counterparts, considering metal is a heat-absorbing, non-renewable material. And despite pole barns being generally cheap and easy to build, these barndominiums don’t offer nearly the same durability or value as quality wood structures like ours. With a pole barn investment, you can expect that your barndominium will last a few decades at most and likely need expensive, routine maintenance to protect against moisture damage, rot, and infestation.

Instead of taking the risk with a cheap but less reliable building kit, feel confident knowing you’re making the best and most valuable decision for your property with a barndominium design from DC. Our professionals offer years of experience in crafting custom barn houses and structures for clients nationwide, including those in Oklahoma, and can provide you with the services, tools, and advice you need to get your plans off the ground. By utilizing locally sourced, quality wood products for our builds, we can ensure your barndominium looks beautiful, meets your regional safety requirements, and makes the most sense for your price point, among other things. If you’re looking for a design partner with a stellar reputation in their industry, look no further than DC Structures for your rural, suburban, or urban barndominium project.

Oklahoma is in the heart of “Tornado Alley” — a loosely defined area in the Central and Southern Plains that experiences twisters at a greater number than any other region of the United States. Oklahoma is one of the most tornado-prone states in the country, with an average of about 68 tornadoes annually, according to FOX Weather.

The world’s first installed parking meter was in Oklahoma City on July 16, 1935. The “Park-O-Meter” was invented by Carl C. Magee, a journalist who migrated from New Mexico to Oklahoma. Created to address a lack of public parking in the growing downtown district, the “Park-O-Meter” initially charged visitors $0.05 an hour as a way of improving traffic congestion in the city.

The state’s name is derived from the Choctaw words “okla” and “humma,” meaning “red people.” It’s a reference to the Native American heritage of the region. Formerly referred to as “Indian Territory,” modern-day Oklahoma is home to 39 tribal nations and encompasses one of the largest Native American populations in the country.
