Figuring How a Custom Pole Barn Fits into Your New Project

A pole barn can be the architectural answer for most low-rise buildings. Is your backburner project finally coming down the pike? What’s new in your world? And do you need a new building? It may sound folksy, but custom pole barns serve many purposes–from churches to fire stations to clubhouses to, yes, farm buildings and stables but auto shops and storage, too.

Definition of a Pole Barn

So, you say, what is a pole barn? We do not fault you for being unfamiliar with the term. After all, you may not be looking for a barn. And pole barn construction has only been perfected over the last half-century.

Generally, a pole barn is a nickname given to buildings that are anchored into the ground by a series of poles. In our modern times, engineers have determined that manufactured wood posts are stronger than, let’s sake, telephone poles. In other words, manufactured poles are more effective in transferring the stress of wind and snow loads into the ground or foundation. This is an important breakthrough because it can eliminate steps of construction and save time and money.

More Benefits of Post Frame Construction

Utilizing the post frame construction, we see why pole barns are increasingly popular. They may have very high ceilings and wide-open spans. By incorporating large windows and doors and excellent insulation, they become energy efficient. Do you know that pole barns can accommodate mezzanines or loft areas as well as rooms on a second story? And a pole building lends itself to flexibility over time because interior walls do not need to be weight-bearing or support the roof, as they do in traditional building methods.

Exterior spaces may easily be incorporated under one roof. We are talking about porches, overhangs, a portico or arena, and other outdoor spaces. In addition, these buildings can sport a retail façade or easily blend in with the surroundings.

Buildings for New Projects

So, think about it. Whatever your project, if it requires a low-rise building or amphitheater, then a custom pole barn may be your best bet. These buildings are warranted, completely engineered, faster to build, and cost effective.
