Versatile Uses of Post Frame Buildings in Colorado

If you know what you’re looking for, you will find many examples of post frame buildings in Colorado. Truth be told, however, outer appearances are not always the giveaway. But a walk in the door and the post-frame construction of pole buildings becomes more obvious. Wide-open spaces, big spans, wide trussing, tall ceilings – these are some hallmarks of this popular construction method.

And this is just the type of building that’s worth its weight in gold for decades and decades. Commercial and organizational uses are many and varied.  Those responsible for enterprises such as fire departments to preschools, retail stores to agricultural operations are making the choice to put up post-frame buildings in Colorado.  Let’s say, maybe 30 years down the road an owner wants to sell a building. The beauty is in the large span that can be re-worked inside to provide tailored workspace for different industry.

So a pole barn building is versatile for many uses.  The design is also adaptable right where it is. Buildings can be added on to in the future. The floor plans can be reconfigured. Loft space can be opened up. Office walls can be moved around.  And architectural façades and features, both externally and in the interior, can be changed to create entirely different personalities. For example, a restaurant can be re-designed as a hair salon. A barn could be used for horses or, someday, as an art gallery.

Attributes of Post-Frame Buildings

Sapphire Construction, Inc., in partnership with Lester Buildings, is gung ho about pole buildings and post frame construction. These buildings have remarkable lifespans in Colorado where the earth expands and contracts annually with the weather.  In comparison to stick built structures, the required building sites are more versatile easier to prepare.  Pole barns are adaptable to various terrain.

Because Lester Buildings has been in business for over half a century, it’s engineers have got the details nailed. In fact, each nail and screw, each board and component of the building is engineered to withstand the wind and snow loads over time. These buildings come with long term warranties, too.
