The journey of Barn Project began during the COVID-19 pandemic when Chantelle, the mother, faced a unique challenge whilst renovating a caravan—she needed a custom-sized barn door but couldn't find one available in the market.

Fueled by determination, she tought herself how to build a barn door from scratch. The result was so impressive that her son encouraged her to list it on Marketplace to gauge interest. The response was overwhelmingly positive.

Seizing the opportunity, Chantelle persuaded her daughter Logan to leave her full-time job, and together they embarked on a journey that would see Barn Project rise to become Melbourne's market leader in custom barn doors. Their unwavering commitment to quality, affordability, and exceptional customer service has set them apart, making Barn Project the trusted name for beautifully crafted, custom barn doors in Victoria, backed by over four years of specialised experience in the field.
