FBi Buildings: High-Quality Pole Barn Kits for Your Property

If you’re the ultimate “do-it-yourself” builder, chances are you’re always ready for a challenge. Maybe your friends call you the Chip or Joanna Gaines of your circle, and they know they can rely on you for any project—from home renovations to large-scale builds. When it comes to constructing your own pole barn, the good news is there are plenty of resources to help make your vision a reality.

A simple search online can tell you who sells pole barn kits, what materials are needed, and how to construct your post-frame building. But if you want a reliable source with high-quality materials and expert support, FBi Buildings is the name you can trust. Since 1958, FBi Buildings has been helping DIY builders, farmers, and business owners construct durable, high-quality post-frame buildings with confidence.

FBi offers material packages—also known as pole barn kits—that include everything you need to construct the frame of your building. Whether you’re building for agricultural, commercial, equine, or residential use, our kits make it easier to get started and ensure your project is built to last.

Note: Overhead doors are not included because they come in a wide variety of styles and features. FBi will recommend trusted local suppliers to help you pick the perfect door for your project.

By purchasing a material package from FBi, you can focus on building your pole barn, while we ensure you have every component you need delivered directly to your site

Why Choose FBi Buildings’ Pole Barn Kits?

You might be wondering, “Haven’t FBi Buildings always offered material packages?” That’s correct, but our pre-designed pole barn kits now come in five ready-to-build sizes, giving DIY builders a clear vision of the project before construction begins.

Using high-quality materials is critical. Subpar materials can compromise the structural integrity of your pole barn, resulting in costly repairs in the future. FBi Buildings ensures every kit contains materials that meet our strict quality standards. Here’s what makes our pole barn kits different:

1. Floor Plans

Each FBi pole barn kit includes a professionally engineered floor plan. These plans indicate the placement of overhead doors, walk doors, and windows. If needed, layouts can be customized to better fit your project requirements. Our engineering team designs each plan to meet structural integrity standards, giving you confidence that your building will last for decades.

2. Columns

Columns in your pole barn kit are laminated and treated to prevent decay and insect damage. Manufactured at FBi’s on-site truss plant, these columns are backed by a lifetime warranty, ensuring that your building’s foundation is strong and durable.

3. Screws

FBi provides stainless steel umbrella head screws, which prevent rust and minimize leakage on your roof and walls. These screws are also covered by a lifetime warranty, giving you peace of mind for years to come.

4. Steel

FBi’s post-frame steel is 29-gauge, heat-treated, full-hard, high-tensile, with a minimum yield point of 80,000 PSI. This makes it far more resistant to wind, hail, and other environmental damage. Additionally, all steel features a Galvalume coating, which protects against rust and corrosion 2–4 times better than typical steel used by other builders.

5. Trusses

Trusses are job-specific and designed by our in-house engineering team using advanced CAD software and simulations. Manufactured in our Truss Plant, each truss meets ASCE 7 standards and undergoes rigorous quality control.

We have our very own in-house truss plant where we manufacture our trusses under stringent quality control standards. Our truss plant is regularly certified by a third-party Truss Plate Institute inspection service.

6. Walk Doors

Steel walk doors come in four styles, offering protection against the elements and reducing heat loss or gain. Pultruded fiberglass options are corrosion-resistant and electrically insulative, perfect for extreme Midwest weather conditions.

7. Windows

FBi uses Simonton Pro-Finish contractor series windows, giving you flexibility in size, style, and energy efficiency. Four glass options are available to match your project needs.

3. Overhead Doors

The one thing our building material packages do not include is your overhead doors. Our reasoning for this is because of the numerous features and designs each overhead door offers, it’s hard to choose just one for every design. Instead of a standard door, we can recommend you to a local overhead door company so you can choose the best option for your post frame building.

What Building Kit Sizes Are Available?

While no two pole buildings will be the same, each of the materials above is used in all of our building kits. Our goal is to make sure every post frame structure is built with the highest quality materials every single time.

The following sizes are available for your dream pole barn:

• 24x24x32
• 24x30x10
• 30x40x10
• 30x48x12
• 36x56x12

Don’t see the size you’re looking to build? That’s not a problem. On top of these five sizing options, we also offer the option to customize your building plan for your pole barn.

How to Design Your Own Pole Barn

It’s easier than ever to design your own pole barn by using our very own Design Online Tool to make your dream become a reality. By using this online tool, you can see what your pole barn will look like in 3D. Whether you’re looking to build an agricultural, commercial, equine, or residential pole barn, our online tool offers features for all types so you can see exactly what you’re getting.

This tool allows you to place overhead doors, walk doors, and windows where you want so you can envision how each will be utilized. You can also add overhangs or a porch (enclosed or not) to give your pole barn a personalized touch. Not sure which color you want for your pole barn? No problem. All our standard color options are available to experiment with to see your vision come to life.

The best part? Our Design Online Tool allows you to place vehicles, tractors, and large equipment in your building so you can estimate the exact size pole barn you’ll need. You can also move and rotate them to get a feel for how everything will fit, so you know you’re building the best possible post frame building for you.
