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.

As an experienced post frame builder, we know firsthand that the weather is unpredictable and uncontrollable. One day, our construction crews are erecting pole barns in the brutal chill. The next day, it’s sunny with temperatures in the mid-50s. Not to mention, the wind is a constant force in the Midwest. Eventually, you become accustomed to the abnormal weather patterns.

There are a lot of variables that go into place when you decide to build a pole barn. Some of them you may already know, some might come as a surprise to you. Deciding on what building materials to use might be easier than trying to figure out the appropriate set time for your concrete mix. Regardless of what category you may fall under, it’s our job to make sure that you’re prepared for all the phases of post frame construction.

There are plenty of ways to construct post frame buildings, and each one of our competitors has their own preferred method. Right or wrong, we can’t argue with their construction process, but we can provide the facts about the structural integrity of a pole building. Before you drop thousands of dollars on a new farm building, mini-warehouse, or even garage, don’t you want to know how long your building is going to last? You assume your new building will last you a lifetime, but what if you are incorrect? What if the next generation taking over your farm or business runs into problems caused by poor construction? Would you want them to have to worry about solving those issues? We didn’t think so.

Do you raise horses for pleasure or are they part of your business? No matter what category you fall under, all post frame builders understand the many requirements of building a safe, efficient, and attractive equine facility. It’s without question that your primary goal in building a horse barn is to arrive at a facility that provides an optimal balance between your priorities and your horses' needs. When you’re ready to start planning your equine facility it’s important to think about all of your current and/or potential uses.

Condensation is a naturally occurring phenomenon and is fairly common in the post frame industry. Condensation occurs when warm, moisture-laden air comes in contact with a cooler surface, such as the underside of your roof steel; similar to the way a cold can of soda sweats in the summer.
