What are pole buildings?
Pole buildings are post-frame structures that are built from the ground up. The posts do double duty supporting the full building structure as well as the trusses for the roof. Because the construction uses fewer framing members, it cuts down on time and the cost of materials. At one time, pole buildings had a negative connotation and were regarded as merely farm buildings; but with custom designs using cutting-edge technology, pole buildings are now regarded as the most efficient method to modern buildings requirements.
How are Pole Buildings Used?
While there’s not one specific way to use pole buildings and barndominiums in Maryland, they can be used for anything from agricultural to residential storage. They are decent-sized buildings where people can store extra items that don’t fit anywhere else.
For instance, residents might use a pole building as a carport, garage, storage for boats, a workshop, or even a home. Commercially, pole buildings can be used as a shop, airplane hangars, self-storage buildings, or even a church. Farmers use their pole buildings for storing machinery or animal barns. It could be a horse-riding arena or a roof to keep your valuable items or animals out of inclement weather.
Why Should I Choose a Pole Building?
There are several very good reasons to choose a pole building as your custom structure:
- They can last between 60 and 80 years, and possibly even longer if maintained properly
- They are much more economical and efficient
- They allow for the greatest amount of flexibility in customization
