As you take a Sunday drive in the country, you may wonder why farms have so many pole barns on their property or if each barn serves a designated purpose. Maybe some pole barns house tractor implements, while others might be used for the maintenance of farm equipment. You may also wonder what features post-frame buildings can have and the color combinations you can have when building an agricultural pole building. In this article, we will explain the top three common agricultural pole barn building uses.

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

When most people think about a pole barn, they think of a rectangle with two cupolas (small squares on the roof, typically with a weather vane). This classic American look has been around for centuries, but do you need a cupola on your post-frame building?

One of the fun parts of designing a post-frame building is deciding which interior and exterior features you want to incorporate.

The most common exterior siding in post-frame construction is pre-painted, corrugated steel panels. These panels help form the walls and roof of the typical post-frame building and ultimately make up a large portion of the exterior. Customers also have the option to include an interior steel liner package that can be installed on either the walls or ceiling of their pole barn. This is easily the most popular finishing option that our customers choose. The steel liner package helps enhance the appearance of your pole barn, giving the interior a more finished look.

Have you been tossing around the idea of extra storage for your cars, hobby toys, or even miscellaneous items? Maybe your home has an attached garage, but you’re considering building a pole barn garage because you know you’ll need the extra space down the road (especially if you have more than one driver in your house).
