What’s Post and Beam?

Post and beam construction systems use horizontal beams to transfer structural loads to a system of vertical posts. Diagonal braces often reinforce the beams to stabilize the structure. In simple terms, the vertical structure of the building serves as a post while the horizontal part acts as the beam. However, in post-frame buildings, beams placed farther apart replace the traditional studs.
