Post-frame buildings are
NOT just
“pole barns” anymore. Although, in the beginning, they
were used for horse barns and other agricultural buildings,
almost any low-rise building may be most quickly constructed
using post-frame design. Many people mistakenly identify
them as “metal buildings” because metal cladding and metal
roofing are common, almost any type siding, roofing or other
architectural features may be used with post-frame. They
also can be insulated to make them more energy efficient
than other types of buildings.
Post-frame is often used for commercial buildings,
industrial buildings, commercial/retail buildings, public
buildings, religious buildings, residential buildings and
accessory buildings. In fact, post-frame is ideal for most
types of low-rise buildings (typically three stories or
less).
Consider post-frame for your next
garage or residential accessory building, airplane hangar,
riding arena/equestrian facility, public building or
residential building.
Other Post-Frame constructed buildings
have been used for churches, office buildings, retail
establishments, industrial facilities, convenience stores,
strip malls, schools, worksheds, firehouses, community
buildings, machinery storage, warehouses, country clubs,
pavilions, multi-family housing and single-family homes.
Post-frame is also ideal for retrofit, remodel and
renovation projects on existing structures.
