Help with exterior garage/barn lighting?

15 years ago

Here's a picture of our new (2006) Morton Building. We still don't have exterior lights on it because I'm so indecisive about what would look good! Would like to keep it looking somewhat barn-like (even though it's just a garage) and somewhat in keeping with the our 1870's farmhouse it sits behind.

I know I need some type of lighting on the front and then want some lights down the patio/porch area.

Thanks!!

We used these over each garage door (2 cars). Looks like they have matching pendants, which could look nice in the covered walk area.

Hello,
We just built a storage barn and I found a supplier in USA that makes repro barn lights that would look great on your building.
Heres their website address and I put the direct link also at the end of my message.

Just take a look around their website to see what you like.

That's the style garage I want to build. I like the old barn look. Does it have a second story? How many cars can it fit. What is the square footage?
