Why Use Post Frame Construction for Event Barns

Modern event barns showcase the classy side of post frame construction. Traditionally, barns have been emptied out of hay and animals to host many wedding parties. In the 1800s and 1900s, people headed over to town halls and Sunday houses for special events. Events like weddings, parties, celebrations, dinners, and meetings in small towns may be scheduled in a barn.

How Post Frame Construction Accommodates Gatherings

Gatherings depend on large open spans. And post frame buildings offer just that: big, wide, open spaces. Event venues usually offer some memorable architectural and design aspects. These pole buildings feature deeply set posts to provide structural support walls or beams. They can be constructed faster than traditional buildings, too, saving expense of time and labor.

Unique Designs for Event Barns

As for memorable settings, our post frame pole barns bring unique character to the project. Each client chooses his own theme. Some may add the country charm of rural Colorado with special areas for wedding prep and food prep while others gear the project for business meetings and corporate retreats. Separate or adjoining cabins or apartments can provide more helpful amenities.

Endless design options are available. Starting with colors and materials, the exterior and interior atmospheres of wineries, breweries, restaurants, and churches can be adjusted. Details such as covered porches, porticos, sliding barn doors, etc. How about using clear class overhead doors to act as a wall of windows? Some choose vaulted ceilings, sloping roof systems, and exposed beams. Some go for crystal chandeliers while others go retro to 1950s black and white check tile floors.

Most clients top off an event center design with adjoining outdoor spaces that offer flexibility for broad ranges of gatherings. Options for adding character to buildings with post frame construction architecture far surpass those available only a few decades ago.

Cost for Post Frame Construction

Let’s get down to the nitty gritty: cost. Most people have set budgets with a little wiggle room. Post frame construction usually costs less than do similar traditional buildings. Nevertheless, costs for interior features may compete with those of another building because of choices for materials and scope.

Thankfully, our design team can nail the budgetary details by using sophisticated software. Our clients can price out events barns with or without extra accessories. The best part may be our clients’ ability to see the costs differences in 3-D on screen as well as in line-item details. They love it!
