Learn MorePost frame construction consists of pressure-treated solid wood posts or laminated columns and framing that create a building's structure. While a wide variety of building materials can be used for walls and roofs, steel roofing and siding panels are the most common cladding for post frame buildings.
Post frame buildings are widely recognized as being economical and easy to erect. However, these aren't the only advantages of post frame construction. Today’s post frame buildings offer superior aesthetics, durability, and long service life. Thanks to the design flexibility of post frame construction, their uses range from simple backyard storage units to high-end commercial structures.
Post frame construction began in the 1930s with farm and agricultural buildings. In those days, post frame buildings were referred to as “pole barns” because poles (similar to telephone poles) were used to support sub-framing and rafters. Fortunately, the industry has advanced since then!
Today, post frame buildings are highly-engineered and often preferred. Because the posts are spaced farther apart than studs, post-frame buildings feature an exceptionally large wall cavity that provides ample room for insulation, lowering heating and cooling costs through the life of the building.
Once you've decided on a post frame building, the next step is choosing the right materials. One of the wisest investments you can make is installing metal wall and roof panels. Metal cladding provides a long service life while adding curb appeal, enhanced durability, weather-resistance, and lower utility costs.
