Post frame construction , also known as pole buildings or pole barns, are structures built using post frame construction designs as opposed to stick-built framing. While pole buildings use less material , resulting in lower building cost , pole buildings are also known for being extremely durable.
Pole building designs include solid heavy duty posts that are either embedded in the ground with concrete / sacrete or mounted on a concrete pad to provide as the building foundation.
‘Headers’ or support columns then attach to the tops of the posts to support the roof trusses. Wall girts and roof purlins , typically 2×4′s , attach to the posts and roof trusses to support the wall and roof sheathing. Just about any custom exterior finish can be applied. Some common roofing materials include steel, wood, and asphalt shingles. For siding vinyl and concrete are the most common.
