Why Build Strong Outbuildings in Elbert County Colorado

Barns need to be strong. To last a lifetime, the big outbuildings in Elbert County, Colorado need the best engineering. The pole building industry knows big buildings on the flatlands can be sitting targets. But rural counties in Colorado feature decent prices. So, if you like expansive views and space, Elbert County is the place to build your horse barn and equestrian arena. It’s also a wonderful place to start a little homestead.

Elbert County features large farms and ranches in a rural area. Anyone wanting large acreage for farms, ranches, or estates can build dreams from vacant land in Elbert County. The population is 27,000. Kiowa is the county seat and Elizabeth is the largest town. Durable equestrian arena, horse barn, hay storage, a barn for livestock, or a house with a large garage to hold an RV.

Elbert County Weather Events

Weather events test the strength of large pole buildings in Elbert County. The area from the Colorado foothills and plains east of Highway 83 sees strong storms. We have no record of hurricanes in Colorado, but twisters and cyclones visit regularly. Records show about a hundred tornados since 1950 when tracking began. These spinning vortices registered between EF0 to EF3, sparing us from the worst scenarios. Nevertheless, we do expect occasional storms with wind, snow, and rain anywhere from the mountains to the high plains. In addition, embers from forest fires travel miles. Exceptional steel buildings can deflect worse-case scenarios. So, we need metal outbuildings in Elbert County.

Solutions from Lester Buildings

Lester Building Systems evolved over decades. Engineers, architects, contractors, and teams of partners, including the professionals at Sapphire Construction, put their heads together to always improve the buildings. Engineers tested and graded materials, fasteners – every single component – to achieve durability and sustainability. We put emphasis on five aspects:

• Precise engineering
• Top grade materials
• Exact components
• Coordinated components
• Complete building system
• Collaboration with builders

PRECISE ENGINEERING: Technology helps our engineers calculate duress on buildings. Design can counter snow load, wind load, and ice issues as well as other stresses put upon a building. Engineers intentionally choose every piece of the building to achieve strength and durability. Then we warranty the finished outbuilding.

TOP GRADE MATERIALS: Lester Buildings has manufactured important components required by engineers. We roll the steel for our pole buildings, we form the steel with specific ridges for the siding, the interior kits, and now the Eclipse Roof System. We grade the lumber. If we do not manufacture a component, we buy from the top suppliers.

EXACT COMPONENTS: Nothing is cookie-cutter. We grade and select every piece of lumber to perform a specific function. The custom design from our architects and engineers demands it. Engineers require the strongest, most durable materials for posts and poles used to anchor the buildings. Then we build purlins to secure the roof. Not the one-size-fits-all found at major lumber companies. Instead, we manufacture the exact size and shape dictated by the building plans.

COMPLETE BUILDING SYSTEMS: In addition, Lester ships every fastener with the building kit. Post frame building kits from Lester Buildings arrive at the building site by truck and they will be ready to assemble. These components will be stronger and more precise than others picked up at the big box store. Construction crews assembling the pole barn will have all materials and components.

Since parts of Elbert County are miles from suppliers, the complete outbuilding, garage, and barn kits speed up the construction process. Sapphire Construction crews prepare the building site and receive the shipments.

COLLABORATION WITH BUILDERS: Designing, ordering, and constructing your next big storage building can be as easy as one, two, three. Sapphire Construction will make it happen. And as the years go by, you’ll find your strong and beautiful big pole building requires little maintenance or bother.

Ask the professionals at Sapphire Construction to take you on a journey through the buying process using electronic software. You’ll be able to see color and design choices on the screen. Merge it with photos of your building site to get a three-dimensional model of your ideas. Sapphire Construction and Lester Buildings Systems. If a weather event happens, we want our large metal buildings to be unscathed. We go the extra mile to reinforce and enhance every pole building and modern technology helps us get it right.
