General Information To Consider

Post Frame Buildings
Pole building construction requirements vary greatly depending on the intended use of the building and many other factors. Here are important things to consider when planning any pole building construction project.

ZONING & BUILDING CODES
Site selection will impact the material requirements of your project. Building permits and zoning requirements can impact site selection. So, make sure you know where you want the building and local rules.

DIY CONSTRUCTION
For information regarding step by step construction details visit our section on how to build a pole barn.

SITE SELECTION
How level the ground is and the soil type impacts the material requirements and design of your building. Soil quality and slope impacts pole embedment depth for construction of pole buildings.

Sand and gravel mix type soils work much better than clay soil. On the up side, sloping land can be used for your barn that would otherwise be useless to preserve your prime real estate. Be sure to select the right materials for your buildings pole barn foundation.

ORIENTATION
Where do you want the barn doors? Sun, wind, and shading from surrounding trees can all impact your decision making process. Proper orientation can provide natural sunlight and conserve on resources.

FRAMING OPTIONS - POLE BARN DESIGN
Pole framing is cheaper and provides superior structural strength since the poles support and tie together the entire pole building. Wind and any other lateral force is transmitted through the pole and is absorbed into the ground. That said, a big long pole is more difficult to erect and requires equipment or at least more muscle power.

Pole placement for pole barns are generally plumbed on the outside to create the vertical wall. The poles are visible inside the barn.

ROOF STYLES - POLE BARN DESIGN
A gable type roof is the most common and cheapest to build roof style. It is also the simplest to construct.

Gambrel roofs provide more head room inside for lofts, are harder to frame, but also add a distinctive touch to finish off the pole barn.

Raised center aisle barns, also known as monitor barns, make great horse barns and can be built with functional lofts allowing hay to be easily dropped into stalls.

Monitor barns can also be constructed without a loft for tall drive through structures in the middle and storage areas on the side.
