Pole Barn (Post Frame Barn) Construction
As you can see from the pictures below, all of our Pole Barns are built using the right materials and the proper construction. In order to make our Pole Barns sturdier, we made it Standard to use all of the necessary bracing and stronger glue-laminated posts. As shown on the pictures, all of the "Side Braces" & "Truss Braces" are in place, as should be on any properly built Post Frame Building.
Here is the list of our Standard Pole Barn Construction Features & Materials:
- 3-ply or 4-ply Glue Laminated Posts (size of posts depends on size & height of the building)
- Posts spaced 8' o.c.
- All Posts are placed 48" below ground on top of concrete footings
- 2x8 pressure treated splash board
- 2"x4" horizontal girts spaced 24" o.c.
- #1 2x12 Yellow Pine headers
- Engineered Trusses (spaced 48" o.c. for metal roof & 24" o.c. for shingle roof)
- Side Braces (placed at each post, even on gable walls)
- Truss Braces (placed at each post on sidewalls only)
- 29 GA, G-100 painted metal is used for roof (not G-90 that most of builders use)
- Condensation barrier (reflective insulation) is used under metal
- Wooden board & batten siding (or metal siding)
