Generally, big purchases come with a warranty. You buy a new vehicle. You upgrade the appliances in your kitchen. You watch the big game on that shiny 65” TV in your man cave. All three purchases include warranty coverage. Pole barns are no exception.

Helping farmers and agri-business owners determine the pole building that best meets their current and future needs is how FBi got its start back in 1958. Fast forward 60 years later, and FBi has built thousands of agricultural buildings throughout the Midwest. Each pole barn is unique to the farmer or business owner’s needs. Do you know what type of building needs would make your pole barn or post frame building work best for you? That’s where FBi can help you out. FBi’s in-house design team makes sure each structure is customized for the building owner.

It’s a nice, sunny day and you find yourself driving down a country road. What do you see? Fields of corn. Pastures with cows. Post-frame sheds. A stick-built home is currently being constructed. Another stick-built home...or so you think. This building has multiple windows and a country red front door with a ‘Welcome’ sign hanging on the front. It’s nicely landscaped and the grass is freshly mowed. Could this be a pole barn home? The answer is yes.
