Shellshocked Fleetwood, now without a win in six games in all competitions, eventually carved out a chance but Paul Farman easily saved Rhys Bennett's header.
With a gale force wind behind their backs, Barrow searched for a clinching third goal in the second half.
Chris Stokes' late header was disallowed for offside and Connor Mahoney twice went close but Barrow still finished comfortable victors.
