Pole Buildings to Suit Rural Colorado Lifestyle

Pole buildingsprovide one of the most versatile, cost-effective, and quick solutions in rural Colorado.  Within a few months, your vacant land in Central Colorado can be transformed to suit.  Viola!  An instant equestrian or agricultural lifestyle along the Front Range of the Rocky Mountains.  It is possible because pole barns can house everything you need — a residence, places for the cows, stalls and paddocks, and the porch out front to sell your extra produce.

Far Cry from Pioneer Days

Maybe you’re settling out West for the first time. Our pole barns, even the basic designs, offer modern conveniences, technology, and systems far beyond the old stagecoach. And everything can be under one roof, minimizing costs.  For example, take look at our recent project in Franktown.  This custom designed building includes living quarters, a garage, a horse barn, and cattle shed.  And the owners kept it simple.

After a team of designers and architects at Sapphire Construction work with the owners to determine needs. The order is then placed with Lester Buildings.  Lester has been perfecting the pole building for over a half century.  Engineered components are made to order. The parts are then shipped to the building site.  Our construction teams prepares the site and starts right away.  Because we partner with Lester Buildings, this great building was ready for occupants before the holidays.

People, Animals and Crops?

With a bit of foresight and expertise, the basic pole barn design readily accommodates the needs for farming, ranching, and living.  Over the decades, new owners can also redefine spaces.  Everyone will be happy.  Activities for horses, cattle, pigs, chickens, garden crops, hay, and people fit into the wide-open spans under high ceilings.  Configured for the planned activities, the ventilation, lighting, electrical, plumbing, and insulation will be precisely calculated for each area.  Add porches, paddocks, an arena, parking for equipment, and other facilities.

Even the settlers figured this out.  Midwestern barn raising utilized the post and beam construction of pole buildings.

The Barn Home

Often enough, buyers invest in undeveloped properties.  They put in one of these all-in-one buildings, intending to build a separate main home someday.  Many follow through, others stay in the barn.  Why not?  It is comfortable and much more convenient than hiking out to a separate barn.  How much easier is it to milk a cow or feed the horses when they are in the next room over?
