What Is a Post-Frame Building?

Post-frame construction is a type of building method that leverages posts and columns to create buildings such as barns, garages, workrooms and sheds. These post-frame buildings, once called pole barns, are high-quality, customizable structures that don't lean on traditional framing methods. The vertical posts used to support the structure are anchored to concrete piers or in the ground itself to support stability, and the simplified construction methods support tailored building design services for agricultural, commercial, and residential projects.

Custom Post-Frame Buildings

Post-frame buildings, are created using vertical posts as opposed to poles, timber framing, or post-and-beam construction. Aside from being cost-efficient, these buildings come with a wide variety of benefits:

• Quick construction and building process

• Easily customizable designs

• Cost-efficient heating and cooling

• Strong, durable structures

Customized post-frame buildings can fit a variety of your residential or commercial needs. They're a long-lasting option with many advantages compared to the alternatives.

Benefits of Post-Frame Buildings on Agricultural and Commercial Properties

Pole-barn construction creates wide, open interior spaces ideal for storing large farm or commercial equipment. The buildings can also be used for livestock. Building plans can include elements such as high sidewalls to accommodate a wide range of equipment, with overhead doors for easy in-and-out access for vehicles and equipment.

Pole barn construction projects tend to be faster than traditional barn or commercial building construction projects, which means businesses and farms can use the storage buildings or other structures sooner. This may be an important benefit if you're trying to install a livestock barn before winter or if your business is growing quickly and you need more space fast.

Post-frame buildings also tend to be more cost-effective than their traditional counterparts. This can help farms and other businesses grow without overextending budgets.
