In post-frame construction, the most common exterior sheathing 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 your pole barn. This is easily the most popular finishing option that our customers choose. The steel liner package helps enhance the appearance of your building, giving the interior a more finished look.
