At the beginning of the year, you and your significant other decided to build a new pole barn. Ever since your family expanded, the kids have claimed the house garage. You’re tired of navigating the maze of bicycles, coupe cars, strollers, wagons, and other miscellaneous toys. Who knew kids could collect so much stuff? We feel your pain. Storage is a necessity. That’s why we wholeheartedly support your decision to build a tool shed.

As we know by now, there are many things to take into consideration during the planning stage of your new post frame building project. Actually, this statement is true for any big event, vacation, or large purchase that you might make during your lifetime. Let’s stop and think about this for a moment… Let’s say you want to plan your next family vacation. Your wife wants to go somewhere warm and tropical and relax on the beach (or maybe this is a dream of your husband or significant other). You, on the other hand, prefer to do something adventurous and in the mountains. After all, that’s the whole purpose of a vacation, right? How do you even make a decision?

Being located in the Midwest, we all know that Mother Nature’s behavior is very unpredictable. Widespread storms can pop up at anytime, wreaking havoc on your post frame building. This is a risk for anyone that builds a pole building. In a perfect world, your brand new farm shop or mini-warehouse building will last you for decades and still be in tip-top condition that it was once it was constructed. But what happens when a storm rolls through? What if your pole barn experiences wind damage? What if your building get hits with hail damage?

Farming for a living is anything but easy. It requires hard work, sacrifice, blood, sweat, tears, and dirt...lots of it. At the same time, it’s a beautiful and rewarding lifestyle.

It’s safe to say that man caves and she-sheds are in style...unless you’ve been living under a rock. Television networks, specifically HGTV and FYI, are premiering series following the rise of this trend. Insurance companies are poking fun at the movement. Poor Cheryl!

As you pull into the driveway, you can’t help but marvel at your 66’ x 120’ x 16’ farm shop. The overhead and sliding doors make it a breeze to move equipment around. The heated workshop is convenient when servicing heavy machinery during the slow winter months.
