Tucked away in the Santa Rosa countryside, one can find the beautiful Bastoni Vineyards. Spanning 40-acres, the vineyard has been a staple in the Sonoma Valley for decades and it recently embarked on a mission to replace the 70-year-old wooden barn used for its grapevine storage. With a desire to maintain the look of an authentic barn, but the need to incorporate modern functionality, owners of the vineyard decided to explore building with metal. The final result yielded a custom and functional barn from Star Building Systems, constructed by The Steel Building Guys of Santa Rosa, Calif.
General contractor, The Steel Building Guys, called upon MBCI to supply metal paneling for both the walls and roof of the 2,100-square-foot barn, which were finished in Valspar’s Fluropon architectural coating. To achieve the traditional barn aesthetic, the wall panels were coated in a Rustic Red color of Fluropon, while the metal roof panels were finished in Polar White. In addition to achieving the desired authentic barn look, Valspar’s Fluropon coatings also add to the durability of the structure.
