Have you been thinking about building a new post frame farm shop, tractor storage pole barn, or even a seed warehouse building? There are many things to take into consideration during the planning stage of your new post frame building project and sometimes–ok...let's be real now–the majority of the time, it can be a stressful process.

Over time, post frame buildings, aka pole barns, can lose their original luster...especially if they’re anywhere from 50-60 years old. We’ve all seen it before–the metal is starting to rust, the sliding doors aren’t functioning as they should, and you’ve been struggling with a roof leak that you just can’t seem to fix...no matter how many times you get someone to come out and look at it.

Generally, big purchases come with a warranty. You buy a new vehicle. You upgrade the appliances in your kitchen. You watch the big game on that shiny 65” TV in your man cave. All three purchases include warranty coverage. Pole barns are no exception.

Helping farmers and agri-business owners determine the pole building that best meets their current and future needs is how FBi got its start back in 1958. Fast forward 60 years later, and FBi has built thousands of agricultural buildings throughout the Midwest. Each pole barn is unique to the farmer or business owner’s needs. Do you know what type of building needs would make your pole barn or post frame building work best for you? That’s where FBi can help you out. FBi’s in-house design team makes sure each structure is customized for the building owner.

Congratulations! You’re finally living on your own in the “real world,” and you couldn’t be happier. You have the freedom to do whatever you want, whenever you want. It feels so good.

As an entrepreneur, have you ever found yourself in the following scenario? Business is booming (pro), but the current space no longer fulfills your needs (con). It’s an exciting time, but now you’re tasked with designing a new building. After much consideration, you’ve decided to expand your commercial operation. You keep going back and forth between a post frame and a steel frame building in your mind.
