What Kinds of Structures Can Be Built Using Post-frame Construction?

Don’t let the name deceive you: pole barns are much more than just barns. Post-frame construction can be used to build any kind of structure. Pole barn homes are relatively common, for example. The method can also be used to build garages, stables, storage facilities, and yes – barns too! It is an extremely versatile design and construction method that can produce almost any building you have in mind.

What is a Pole Barn?

A pole barn is a general term describing a broad range of multi-purpose, post-frame buildings. Post-frame construction is a technique used to construct sturdy, reliable buildings quickly and inexpensively. It is an engineered solution designed for efficiency and extreme adaptability. The name of these structures comes from the fact that they are designed with posts or poles for structural framing. These are buried a few feet into the ground and serve as the foundation for the finished structure. This method is a much less expensive and quicker way to build strong, sturdy buildings.

What are the Benefits of Pole Barns?

Pole barns offer at least four advantages:

Strong foundations - built quickly and easily:

Foundations can be difficult and time-consuming to make. Post-frame construction offers a way to speed up the process while still establishing strong and steady foundations. Pole barns can be built on unlevel ground, and even on gravel or dirt, without any need to prepare a level bed or pour concrete foundations. The only concrete required is in the footers used to set the poles that form the frame for the structure. The process is much less expensive and quicker but still results in a robust and sturdy structure.

Reduced costs:

Pole barns require fewer materials than typical buildings. They use less wood because they need less framing and structural support. Pole barns use a fraction of the concrete necessary for traditional structures and also far less wood. The result is a considerable decrease in material costs.

Less labor:

Pole barns can be built in less time than other structures with relative ease for both contractors and DIY enthusiasts. You can save precious hours and spend less on labor.

Better ventilation and insulation:

Since the posts used in pole barns are so widely spaced, there are fewer thermal breaks in the finished structure, which means the building is better insulated. The design also enables enhanced ventilation, creating improved air quality and increased comfort.

Flexibility:

Since you don’t need a concrete foundation, you have more choices as to where you can build your pole barn on your property.

Do You Need a Permit for a Pole Barn?

Typically, you will be required to get a permit from your local authority before you begin construction on your pole barn. Some towns and cities might waive this requirement if the structure is small enough – like a shed, for example. Contact your local building department for information about building permits, electrical codes and zoning.
