We design Barndominiums with purpose. Eagle’s Landing is a 2,500-square-foot retreat created by The Barndominium Company in collaboration with @METALCON and the @warriorssupport —Military Warriors Support Foundation. The project will be featured at the METALCON 2025 show floor in Las Vegas next month. After the show, it will ship and be rebuilt in Hall, Montana—providing a space for peace, healing, and community for combat-wounded veterans.
Designed by Stacee Lynn, whose family has served for four generations, Eagle’s Landing features two bunk rooms, two Jack and Jill bathrooms, and a massive 20’ x 39’ great room.
Proudly standing by our heroes always. 🇺🇸
In appreciation to all Veterans, we offer a 10% off our design services.
I hope you have been “Eagle’s Lading” Barndo Inspired.®

NEW! METALCON’s Beyond The Roof Series explores how architects, developers, contractors, and fabricators are using metal to move faster, build smarter, and stay competitive.
First up: Why designers are choosing insulated metal panels (IMPs) beyond traditional roofing applications.
From schools and sports venues to mixed-use and residential projects, IMPs are helping teams deliver:
✔ Faster installation timelines
✔ High-performance thermal efficiency
✔ Modern, customizable aesthetics
✔ Long-term durability + low maintenance
✔ Smarter building envelope solutions
As performance expectations continue to rise, insulated metal panels are proving they’re more than a product choice, they’re a competitive advantage.

Fasteners may be small, but they play a big role in structural integrity
From material compatibility to environmental exposure, every factor matters when choosing the best fit for your project.
