Post-Frame

Construction

Throughout history, post-and-beam construction concepts and design have been used as the model for constructing rural buildings. Previously referred to as pole barns, this construction method revolves around the strategic placement of large, widely spaced posts or columns.

Post-frame buildings are known for their ability to withstand severe weather conditions. Using modern technology, engineers have updated these designs, extending the use of post-frame construction to commercial buildings. Common commercial applications include auto dealerships and repair shops, retail stores, office buildings, and churches.
