You name it, we can build it using post frame construction!!

 

Post frame construction has been around for many years. Although there are different variations of this building style, they all have the same basic fundamentals. Treated posts are set into post holes, usually 4 feet deep. The post sits on a concrete pad in the bottom of the post hole and is then back filled. Once the girts or horizontals have been attached, the trusses are put into place. After the trusses are set the purlins are attached. At this point windows and doors are framed up and installed.

 

The building is now basically framed up and is ready for the covering. The most common covering is metal. It is available in a wide variety of colors and is very low maintenance. It holds its color and sheen for many years eliminating the need for the yearly scraping and painting.

 

Pole buildings are a great alternative to the conventional stick built buildings. There is no need for the traditional "frost footers". The concrete floors are optional and can be put in anytime after the building is finished. The interiors can be insulated and finished off. Heat and electric can be installed. Greater heights and widths can be achieved more easily. Metal siding creates a virtually maintenance free building and a metal roof means no more shoveling. Overhangs can be installed to add aesthetic value as well as being functional. Pretty much anything you want to do to a pole building can be accomplished today
