The lineup
Every building below shares the same foundation — pressure-treated skids, joists twelve inches on center, full-dimensional 2×4 framing, three-quarter-inch engineered flooring, and a written ten-year Guarantee. What changes is the silhouette, the doors, and the life you intend to keep inside it.
Starting prices are from the 2026 Cardinal catalog and exclude sales tax. Site prep, permits, and licenses are the buyer’s responsibility. Pricing is subject to change — confirm regional pricing before publishing.
Storage & workshop
Six answers to the same question. What separates them is where the doors sit, how much loft you gain overhead, and the line the roof draws against the sky.
Starting at $3,297
The most floor space for your money, with up to 85% more storage in the loft area.
Barn-style doors
Starting at $3,584

The budget line
Not every situation calls for a Cardinal. Our C+ line is built to a lower price, and we would rather set the two side by side than let you discover the gap later.
| Spec | Cardinal | C+ |
|---|---|---|
| Wall studs (painted) | 16" on center | 24" on center |
| Wall studs (metal) | 16" on center | 36" on center |
| Floor joists | 12" on center, heavy duty standard | 16" on center |
| Coverage | 10-Year Guarantee | 2 years |
| Relocation package | Included on most models | Not available |
| Sidewalls (metal) | 7'8" typical | 5'10" |
C+ begins at $1,900. If that is genuinely the right building for you, we would rather sell it to you honestly than talk you into something you don’t need.
