Pole barns, pole buildings, and post-frame buildings are terms that are often interchangeable. It can be confusing to understand, especially if you are new to the industry, and it doesn’t help that pole barns/buildings aren’t actually made from “poles.” What exactly as a pole barn in Missouri?
Post-Frame Construction
Post-frame construction is the framing process of a pole barn. These buildings feature large, laminated wood posts that form the main structure of the building. Here at Central Structures, we use glue-laminated columns for our custom pole barns in Missouri as the primary support, which are nearly three times stronger than the traditional solid sawn posts. Pole barns posts are anchored 4 to 6 feet in the ground, serving as the main foundation of the building, ultimately lowering the cost of construction and time it takes to build. Our columns at Central Structures for custom pole barns in Missouri include a concrete pier footing that achieves the superior stability of these buildings. On the other hand, stick-frame buildings require foundational support, making them a more expensive option.
Posts
A key feature of pole barns is the wide spacing between posts. They are spaced nearly 8 feet apart, which allow for larger openings and more room for insulation.
