What Is a Pole Barn?
A pole barn, sometimes referred to as a post-frame construction, is a building whose structure is formed around poles or posts. The construction of a pole barn begins with holes that are dug deep into the ground. Tall support posts are anchored in these holes and usually sealed with concrete. These poles form the "skeleton" of the building. Once the framework of the pole barn is complete, it can be finished with wood or metal walls. The beauty of pole barns is that they are very customizable. Pole barns can be as high-end or basic as you prefer.
