Did you know Pennsylvania Amish country is home to Lancaster Barns?
With our headquarters in Lancaster County, we’re fortunate to have many skilled local craftsmen right in our backyard! These talented individuals bring generations of knowledge to each structure they build for us.
The Legacy of Amish Craftsmanship
The Amish community’s reputation for exceptional craftsmanship in building barns, sheds, and furniture is rooted in centuries-old traditions.
When the Amish migrated to Pennsylvania in the 19th century, they brought their strong sense of self-sufficiency and commitment to manual labor, which remained central to their way of life here.
Their exceptional skills have been passed down through generations, with young children often learning the trade in their family’s workshop.
Barn and shed building, in particular, is a communal effort among the Amish. The tradition of barn raising – where the entire community comes together to build a structure – has fostered their culture of teamwork and passion for meticulous craftsmanship.

How Quality Shines Through in Amish-Built Sheds
What makes Amish-built sheds better than mass-produced alternatives? The difference is in the process and principles behind the work.
Skilled craftsmen take pride in their attention to detail, making sure every joint is precisely fitted and every nail properly placed.
Unlike factory-assembled sheds that prioritize speed over quality, Lancaster Barns focuses on creating Amish structures that will last for decades. Our approach results in sheds that are square, level, and built to hold up to the elements.
Premium Materials Provide Lasting Value
Lancaster Barns backs up our quality craftsmanship with quality materials. Our sheds, built by the Amish, feature:
