Post Frame Structures

Durable. Flexible. Cost-Effective.

Post frame construction is a proven building method that combines strength, versatility, and efficiency. Using large pressure-treated posts anchored deep into the ground or secured to a foundation, these structures provide exceptional stability and durability. Unlike traditional stick-built construction, post frame buildings require fewer materials, which reduces costs and allows for faster build times.

Key Benefits

  • Strength & Longevity – Engineered posts and trusses are designed to withstand heavy snow, wind, and weather conditions.

  • Versatility – Ideal for barns, garages, workshops, commercial buildings, storage facilities, and even custom homes.

  • Energy Efficiency – Wide column spacing creates fewer thermal breaks, allowing for better insulation and lower energy costs.

  • Design Flexibility – Open floor plans with fewer interior load-bearing walls provide maximum usable space.

  • Cost Savings – Less material waste and quicker construction timelines mean more value for your investment.

Applications

Post frame structures are perfect for:

  • Agricultural barns and storage

  • Equestrian facilities

  • Garages and workshops

  • Commercial and retail spaces

  • Residential barndominiums and custom home
