This video explains in detail why, Josh Helm from Texas Best Construction, only builds hybrid #barndominium homes and the reasoning behind it.
In the video, Josh Helm discusses the differences between traditional barndominiums and hybrid barndominiums. He explains that traditional barndominiums often have problems with moisture, condensation, and leaks because they don't use proper flashing methods. He believes that hybrid barndominiums, which use a combination of metal and wood framing with airtight construction methods, are a better option.
Here are some of the key points from the video:
Traditional barndominiums often have problems with moisture, condensation, and leaks. This is because they don't use proper flashing methods, which can lead to water damage.
Hybrid barndominiums use a combination of metal and wood framing with airtight construction methods. This makes them more resistant to moisture, condensation, and leaks.
Hybrid barndominiums may be more expensive than traditional barndominiums. However, Josh Helm believes that they are worth the extra cost in the long run because they are more durable and require less maintenance.
Texas Best Construction uses high-quality materials and construction methods. This helps to ensure that their barndominiums are built to last.
Overall, the video is a good overview of the pros and cons of traditional and hybrid barndominiums. If you are considering building a barndominium, it is important to weigh the pros and cons of each type carefully before making a decision.

My old house was like that, no more my friend. We purchase a very nice piece of property a little East of Evant TX, just south a little of Hico. Right on your 100 mile reach, hopefully, when the time comes (in 2023?) we can talk you into building our Barndo! Call it what you want, I don't care.

We made the personal mistake to spray foam right on the metal like Josh said not to. We feel like spray foam + steel beams gives us more integrity in the structure when it comes to storms/wind/tornado damage. It has been an issue with rain blowing in and the shell having leaks, but we have fixed most of the issues.

Thank you for sharing your methods and your builds. I understand you use spray foam for the roof and wall panels. I have discovered that using spray foam on the backside of metal panels voids the paint warranty. Suppliers including Schulte Building Systems, Whirlwind Steel Building & Components, McElroy Metals, MBCI and Sheffield Metals have all indicated that the paint warranty will be void if spray foam is used. Is this common knowledge? Is this discouraging you from using spray foam?

@TexasBestBarndominium 2 жыл бұрын

No we are not discouraged from using spray foam. Our manufacturer does not say you “can’t” use spray foam. They refer to the preferred methods recommended by the SPFA which outlines how to do it. I would imagine that other manufacturers such as the ones you mentioned have a similar stance. We have never had warranty issues nor any troubles that would cause any concern.

@chriswf 2 жыл бұрын

I guess it's probably possible. But have you had a crawlspace before? We have 1 at one of our properties, and under heavy rain the sand would absorb water and introduce a ton of moisture under our house. It would rot the wood, and it even appeared to corrode the gas lines. Also we live in a very humid east Texas area. So in general, humidity could easily be above 80% down there. So then we had to look into encapsulating our crawl space (which is hard unless you have a tall crawl space to do that in lol). We ordered a product from crawlspace ninja. It worked great... but then we found it was too air tight and moisture can still find it's way in. And harder to find it's way out. So THEN, finally we ran an hvac line through our crawlspace. And that solved the rest of our humidity issues.

You make the point well that you are breaking new ground with Barndominiums and I totally agree that it still on it's development journey.. I have been trying (here in the UK) to build something similar (on a smaller scale) for many years and are known as Live/work properties. It is a very difficult procedure to even get started here.. Architects listen to you ramble.. nod at your drawings and follow with 'Have you considered a traditional build..? and look at you as if you are stupid.. This follows through with the authorities (Code) 'Well, this is unusual..' To the Builders.. 'I've never done this before..I dont know how to price it..' Can you Insure it..? 'It looks very different to the surrounding properties..' Etc.. Our government keep pushing us to BUILD MORE but the existing system wont let us build something we actually want. People like me, look to you, our American cousins, to advance this 'Model' until it becomes mainstream and then we can use your knowledge to move for progress here. In my designs I have arrived at a 'standard' building block of 4m x 4m x 3m ceiling. Having portal frames approx 4m (13') apart seems to optimise other materials sizes/spans. In my case I am interested in a 8m (26') x 12m (39') Building which is 100m2 (1000sq ft) footprint, which is a comfortable living area. A second floor gives an additional 100m2 for recreational use. To me, the main benefit of no internal structural supports, is the ease to effect any future internal changes.. Here in the UK, we are living with a Victorian attitude to how we use our houses.. It is very expensive and messy to alter houses to cater for modern living ideas. I would propose the development and refinement of a standard (like above) frame system.. perhaps using a lamination of different materials to cover the rusting, rotting or fireproofing etc that all construction materials are subject to.. Rather like a Shipping container with no sheet metal walls, ceilings etc.. Just the frame.. Build onto that.. I look forward to seeing more of your video's

I've always been curious how Barndominiums can be "beefed" up, particularly in their wall systems. So often the conversation is pivoted to the feng shui of floorplans, maximizing space, and cost savings it just has me curious as to what it looks like going the other direction. What does a barndo with a wildly flexibile potential slab size, build time frame, no restrictions, no expectation of multiple stories, no expectation of layout, no expectation of large interior, look like? Like what if the entire plan and sole goal is for maximum efficiency and durability with only a "shrug" at the rest within reason? Obviously I dont want to live in or build a bunker, but lets say so long as it still looked like a barndo on the outside, what are some "extremes" that can be taken? Im assuming we would borrow from commericial/industrial methods? Thanks for any info in advance, just a south Texan trying not to melt!

Hey Josh... I will say a couple of things concerning the tag or declaration and use of " HYBRID ". In every facet of business and normal day to day life... 1) HYBRID anything... from a Mule, the result of mating a horse with a donkey... or a muzzle brake coupled with a tuner ( shout out to E.C.)... the adaptation of sales integrated with the internet and mail order, to the creation of many current breeds of canines and felines... etcetera... all are HYBRIDS. 2) HYBRIDS are thought and created for specific needs. Most, lol, are done with the sole purpose of betterment, or improvement of what is currently used or needed. 3) When I hear " HYBRID "... and it concerns something in business or life that I need or desire... I check that out first... why? It fits my needs possibly ( 9 times out of 10)... BARNDOMINIUMS ? Hell yes, it fits the description, but better yet... the customer's and your need.

So the hybrid part is the wood walls and the barndo is the metal roof?

It sounds the way you build makes a house way more efficiently sealed. Loved this information because I'm in the DFW area and just bought land in Granbury. So the whole side structure of the house is not metal?

Yes thank you. The wall system framing on the living areas are all wood stud framing with the wood substrate attached for moisture and air barrier it provides.

@TexasBestBarndominium But you said you can also do all metal also?

I'm really undecided on metal siding vs. Zip + Smartside.

@TexasBestBarndominium 6 ай бұрын

well for smart siding you may be painting at some point. the metal is a great option because if you ever needed to remove a panel to access an exterior wall you could easily do so also fairly affordable and easy to replace if damaged

I wish you’d reply to our inquiries. I guess y’all are booked :(

@TexasBestBarndominium 2 жыл бұрын

We are still very much overwhelmed with inquiries. Still the best and quickest way is to call the office during business hours to get information. If you haven’t reached someone then try again. Thanks so much

…not sure I’d call it a (hybrid)Barndo but a conventional house w/steel roof frame. I’m building a Barndo, all metal except for 2x4 (wood) partition walls. The interior perimeter walls (skin) use furring hat channel. Thnx for explaining market conditions.

Great. 👍 What are you using for exterior wall system?

@richt2633 4 ай бұрын

Hi Josh! I’m in a mild climate (northern AZ @ 5000’) and will use the Therm-All ProLiner insulation system; R-25 walls, R-38 roof. Also the vaulted ceiling uses furring hat channel (no lumber) that attaches to the purlins. The finished ceiling is PBM-Panel (no drywall). I subscribed to your channel and look forward to great ideas. You’re an asset to the Barndo industry!

@@richt2633 great thanks Rich, glad to be here to share what I have learned with the products we have found useful. What are you going to use to stop moisture, air and condensation from the exterior? What’s your moisture barrier

@richt2633 4 ай бұрын

Josh, I’m using Therm-All insulation products; Long Tab Banded System (R-38 roof) and ProLiner system (R-25 walls). The ProLiner system has a low permeance fabric face that serves as the vapor retarder, preventing condensation and contributing to air barrier integrity. It meets energy performance and local codes. After the ProLiner system, 1 1/2” furring hat channel attaches to the girts followed by drywall. If you’d like me to post a ProLiner installation video, let me know. Btw I’m an owner builder.
