In the fall of 2020, FBi Buildings introduced the QLYFT building system, an unprecedented way of erecting post-frame structures on the ground. Yes, you read that right. We’re building pole barns on the ground and raising them to the desired height. We created this construction method to improve crew safety while taking product quality to the next level.

You’ve been dreaming of building a pole barn for quite some time, and now you’re ready to finalize the building design and begin all necessary site preparations.

Designing your pole barn is the most enjoyable part of the post frame construction process. You have numerous ideas floating around in your head of what you want your pole barn to look like, and putting it down on paper or designing your pole barn online helps to see your plan come to fruition.

Is your post-frame building showing signs of old age? Are the original paint colors an eyesore compared to your newly renovated stick-built home? Are the metal panels speckled with red pole barn rust?

Modern post frame construction is touted for its design flexibility. This building method offers a wide selection of exterior and interior finishes, roofing materials, and architectural details. You can achieve virtually any aesthetic your heart desires – steel, vinyl, and wood siding with a brick or stone façade. Any roof pitch can be utilized and covered with asphalt shingles or metal panels.
