It’s the time of year that most people look forward to...nice weather! The days are getting longer, and the temperatures are warming up. Unless you live in the Midwest (like us) because Mother Nature loves to play tricks. Regardless, you can finally start working on the long list of outside projects, such as landscaping.

Your pole barn is crucial to your operation. Day-to-day activities take place in this post-frame building. It's where you spend a significant amount of time; for some people, it's a huge part of your livelihood.

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.

Routine maintenance is a crucial part of extending any product's useful life. We change the oil in our vehicles and rotate the tires. We install software updates on our electronics. We hire professional landscapers to prune the shrubs and weed the landscaping around our stick-built home. While no post-frame building lasts forever (just like the examples listed above), you can prolong its lifecycle with regular pole barn maintenance.

As you enjoy your Sunday drive through the countryside, you can’t help but notice the diverse lineup of pole barns.

Have you ever stopped to think about the construction method being used and what all of those details will require? Is that something that even matters to you? Will you be looking over those details before you choose a builder?
