Canadian Barns: How to Get a Barn Pros structure to Canada.

Bring quality barn construction across the border with proven international delivery.

The decision to add a Barn Pros structure to your Canadian property is a significant investment in both your lifestyle and your land. Having engineered and delivered quality barn packages across North America for nearly three decades, we believe that great craftsmanship shouldn’t be limited by borders.

Whether you’re planning an equestrian facility in Alberta, a barn apartment in Ontario, or a workshop in Quebec, our proven international process ensures your vision becomes reality with the quality and support that Barn Pros is known for.

Engineering That Works in Canadian Conditions

Your Canadian barn project starts with the same careful engineering that has made Barn Pros structures successful throughout North America. Our fully licensed international engineers create site-specific blueprints tailored to your local building codes and conditions, complete with province-specific engineering stamps.

This means comprehensive engineering that accounts for Canada’s diverse climate—from heavy snow loads in the Rockies to coastal weather in the Maritimes. Your blueprints represent our approach of combining traditional barn design with modern engineering solutions specifically designed for Canadian conditions.

Proven Track Record: Nearly 25 years of successful Canadian deliveries have helped us develop a smooth cross-border process.

Complete Support: From your first consultation through final delivery, our project specialists guide you through every aspect of bringing your structure to Canada, including customs procedures, shipping logistics, and local requirements.

Premium Materials: Your barn features quality Pacific Northwest materials including select-grade Douglas fir, Western cedar, and handcrafted components.

Efficient Construction: Your builder will have all the information and material they need to build your dream structure, including our build support from delivery to completion.

Understanding Canadian Project Details

Payment and Pricing

All Barn Pros structures are priced in US dollars, with payment accepted via US check, wire transfer, or credit card. This pricing approach ensures transparency while maintaining consistent quality regardless of currency changes.

Shipping and Delivery

Canada’s proximity to our Monroe, Washington facility creates advantages for delivery. However, Canada’s size means that specific shipping considerations may apply depending on your build location:

Standard Delivery: Most Canadian locations accessible via the Trans-Canada highway system receive standard freight delivery directly to your build site, with all materials properly protected during transport.

Remote Locations: Properties north of major highway systems or on islands may require additional shipping arrangements. For island locations, we can often coordinate delivery via ship, ensuring your materials arrive safely.

Additional Project Costs

Several Canada-specific costs should be included in your project budget:

Blueprint Conversion: Converting your detailed blueprints from standard to metric units requires additional engineering work, ensuring your builder receives plans that work with Canadian construction practices.

Customs and Border Processing: Before shipment, we’ll work with a customs broker to handle all border crossing requirements, duties, and taxes. This service ensures smooth delivery while giving you accurate cost estimates well before your delivery date.

Taxes, Tariffs, and Duties: All applicable taxes, tariffs, and duties are assessed on your structure’s full value and can be paid by credit card.

Building Your Canadian Barn

Finding Your Builder

Barn Pros ships to both the United States and Canada, working with local builders who understand your land requirements and conditions. This approach gives you control over your construction team while ensuring compliance with local building practices.

Starting your builder search early in your project creates better opportunities to select the right contractor and schedule construction when you want it. Our Build Support team works directly with your chosen builder throughout construction, providing guidance and answering questions during assembly.

Good strategies for finding qualified builders include:

  • Personal and professional network referrals
  • Provincial builder associations and trade organizations
  • Online platforms like HomeStars, Houzz, and local contractor directories
  • Chamber of Commerce business directories
  • Agricultural and equestrian community recommendations
