Post Frame Buildings and shops

Post frame construction is a cost-effective, energy efficient alternative to conventional building methods.

Post frame construction has been around for over a century and is a well-established building method throughout North America. It is also know as pole barn construction – a term that originates from the early stages where post frame buildings were primarily used as barns or agricultural buildings. However, post frame has evolved and is now also used for acreage buildings, equestrian facilities, commercial buildings, and even homes.

One of the key advantages of post frame construction is its speed and efficiency of construction. The large, widely spaced columns mean that less structural material is needed, which makes construction quicker and less expensive. The construction process is less invasive, as there is less digging and excavation required. This means that post frame buildings can be erected in a fraction of the time it takes to build a conventional building.

Post frame buildings are also energy efficient. Since posts are spaced further apart than studs would be, there is a larger wall cavity for insulation. More insulation means that the building stays cooler in the summer and warmer in the winter, helping you save on heating and cooling costs. The durable exterior cladding that is used in post frame construction also helps to protect the building from harsh elements, which can reduce maintenance and repair costs.

The characteristics that distinguish post frame from conventional buildings make post frame construction a practical option for buildings of all kinds. Post frame construction may be an option worth considering for your upcoming project.
