You will have to prepare your site at the start of your post-frame project. This includes preparing the building location and where to put the driveway to your pole building. During site preparation, you will also need to consider the materials and equipment that will be arriving and have enough room to access and maneuver the site once they arrive at your pole barn construction site. There are many things to consider when determining your driveway. Just like when selecting your pole barn flooring, the same options are available for your drive. You can go as simple as dirt to as high-end as block paving. Regarding cost, some customers have stated they spent more on their driveway than on their pole barn. Are you planning to leave the entrance as is? Or will you want to add a concrete, asphalt, or gravel driveway? Below you will learn about the six driveway surface options and the advantages and disadvantages of each.

As a post-frame builder, we're frequently asked by potential customers, "Can you lift an existing pole barn?" Typically, these customers are farmers who want to raise their post-frame building height to store larger farm equipment. For example, the evolution of a combine has grown since our parents and grandparents started farming.

As cold weather approaches, mice and other rodents will likely look for places to stay warm and survive the winter. Sometimes that’s inside the engine bay of your truck, sometimes your attic, but a lot of the time, it’s your cold storage building or hobby shop.

It’s that time of year when we take stock of what brings us joy and how we can hang onto the happy memories we create. Because who knows what life will be like in a year or two?

When you’re ready to start your pole barn journey, of course, one of the first questions you’ll ask is, “How much does a pole barn cost?”

The beauty of post-frame buildings is that they are diverse and can be purpose-built for many different needs.
