The skeleton of a pole barn: laminated or solid posts, engineered trusses, girts and purlins that carry the wind and snow.
Post-frame buildings rely on large vertical posts, commonly spaced about 8 to 12 feet apart, with horizontal girts on the walls and purlins on the roof. Engineered trusses span the width, so there are no interior bearing walls, and the frame resists wind and snow loads as a system.
Posts can be laminated, which are straighter and more stable than solid sawn, and treated for ground contact. We set them to the right depth or on piers, brace them and align them carefully, because the quality of the frame decides how well everything else fits.
