Use of Our Website

BarndoGuru is an informational site that offers barndominium floor plans, kit provider directories, planning guides, product reviews, and inspiration galleries. You may use this content for your personal reference and research as you explore your barndominium options.

However, you may not reuse, republish, scrape, or redistribute our content or tools for commercial or public use without our express written consent. This includes floor plans, blog content, curated kit lists, and builder data.

All users must follow local laws and not use this website in any way that could harm or overload our systems, mislead other users, or misrepresent BarndoGuru’s resources or brand.

We offer tools and calculators to assist in your barndominium planning, but they are for illustrative purposes only. We recommend double-checking all details with qualified professionals, including builders, architects, or permitting authorities in your state.

Intellectual Property

Unless otherwise stated, BarndoGuru and/or its licensors own the intellectual property rights for all content on this site. This includes original text, branded graphics, floor plan PDFs, illustrations, product reviews, and software tools.

Visitors may download or print single copies of guides or plans for their personal use only. Any copying, reproduction, or adaptation of site content for distribution, resale, or public use is strictly prohibited.

Our brand elements—including the BarndoGuru name, logo, and custom floor plan visuals—are trademarked assets and may not be reused or repurposed without express permission. Misuse of our intellectual property may result in legal action.

Third-Party Services and Affiliates

BarndoGuru works with third-party vendors, including kit manufacturers, builder directories, and tools or products we review. Some links on our site may be affiliate links, which means we may earn a small commission if you make a purchase—at no extra cost to you.

Affiliate Links – Some articles and buying guides on BarndoGuru include affiliate links. For details, see our Affiliate Disclosure.

We only promote affiliate products and services we believe align with our mission and values. However, BarndoGuru is not liable for the content, privacy practices, or services offered by these external vendors. Please review their terms and privacy policies directly before engaging.

We also link to public resources such as FTC privacy and data security guidelines to help users understand their rights and responsibilities online.

BarndoGuru may receive compensation for certain content but remains committed to editorial transparency. Reviews and recommendations are based on independent research and user feedback.

Content Accuracy and Disclaimers

We strive to keep all barndominium content—especially pricing estimates, kit provider data, and planning checklists—accurate and up to date. However, we do not guarantee that every detail is always complete, current, or legally sufficient for your jurisdiction.

All content is provided “as is” for informational purposes only and does not constitute legal, architectural, engineering, or construction advice. Always consult licensed professionals before making major planning or building decisions based on our resources.

Kit pricing, local code requirements, and financing terms vary widely by location and provider. While we do our best to reflect national trends, we cannot guarantee a particular outcome or building experience.

Our estimates and recommendations are general in nature and may not reflect your specific property type, local zoning ordinances, or climate conditions. Custom assessments should always be done by a local expert familiar with your building site.

Limitation of Liability

BarndoGuru and its team shall not be held liable for any damages arising from your use or inability to use the site, including but not limited to indirect or consequential losses, data inaccuracies, or delays from third-party links or partners.

This limitation applies even if BarndoGuru has been advised of potential issues. You agree to use this site at your own risk and acknowledge that the content is provided as a general educational tool, not a professional service.

Some jurisdictions do not allow the exclusion or limitation of certain liabilities, so these limitations may not apply to you in full. In any case, and only to the extent permitted by applicable law, our total liability to you will not exceed the amount (if any) you actually paid BarndoGuru for the specific service that gave rise to the claim.
