What Is a Pole Barn

A pole barn is a type of post-frame building that uses large vertical posts set into the ground or mounted on concrete pads to support the roof structure. Unlike traditional stick-frame construction, pole barns do not require full concrete foundations or load-bearing interior walls, making them faster to build and more versatile in design.

Common uses include:

  • Agricultural storage for equipment or hay
  • Workshops and garages
  • Residential accessory buildings
  • Livestock shelters or feed barns
  • Business or hobby spaces
  • Utility buildings or tool sheds

We do not build timber frame barns. Our focus is strictly on modern post-frame construction using quality materials, engineered layouts, and proven building methods.

Why Choose a Pole Barn

Pole barns are one of the most efficient and affordable ways to create usable space for a wide range of functions.

Benefits

Cost-effective

Pole barns require fewer materials and less site prep than conventional buildings. The savings in foundation work and labor can make a significant difference in your budget.

Fast build times

Our team can complete many pole barn projects in a matter of days to a few weeks, depending on size and customization. That means less disruption to your schedule.

Custom layout options

You’re not limited to a standard shape or size. We work with you to design a structure that fits your property, your purpose, and your plans for the future.

Strong and durable

Built with treated posts, engineered trusses, and metal siding or roofing, pole barns stand up to wind, rain, snow, and daily use.

Low maintenance

With proper construction and quality materials, pole barns require very little upkeep over time compared to traditional wooden structures.

Custom Options Available

No two clients have the same needs, and we don’t believe in one-size-fits-all solutions. Our pole barn options include:

  • Widths ranging from small utility sheds to large multi-bay garages
  • Sidewall heights to accommodate tractors, RVs, or heavy equipment
  • Overhead or sliding doors
  • Insulated roofing or wall systems
