Pole Barns Direct

We get it. We're right there with you. And that's exactly why we strive to make every building project a smooth, low-stress experience. Because that's how we'd want to be treated. Pole building or post-frame construction involves poles or posts placed in the ground, with the rest of the structure framed around those posts. With post-frame construction, each post is set on its own foundation in the bottom of a post hole, unlike stud construction which requires a continuous foundation. Post-frame construction has many advantages, including affordability, design flexibility and durability.

Small pole barns are great for small-scale hay storage and serve as the perfect garages for storing equipment or extra vehicles. Medium pole barns can suit a multitude of agriculture or farming needs, from livestock housing to tractor and machinery storage. Large pole barns are generally used for large-scale hay and machinery storage for bigger farms, and are perfect for high-volume livestock housing. A quality post frame structure from Pole Barns Direct is within reach! Our team of experts will guide you through the entire process, from your initial quote and getting your custom design just right, to completing the construction of your dream pole barn.

Our building sizes range from 24' x 24' up to 80 feet wide clear-span, with everything in between. With so many sizes and options available, choosing post frame construction for your commercial space can mean getting a solution that's functional, beautiful and good for your budget. Because of all the variables in creating a commercial space, providing a rough price is difficult based on size alone. Give us a call today, and one of our expert designers would be glad to talk through your project and get you an idea of cost based on your specific needs.

Here at Pole Barns Direct, we include only the best materials in our pole building kits. Our lumber is all #2 grade or better (SPF), and the load-bearing components are all southern yellow pine (SYP), a wood widely recognized in the building industry as one of the strongest, most versatile species. Its superior load-bearing capacity and fastener-holding ability make it ideal for pole barn construction. The beam in your post frame building is a crucial component, which is why we use #1 SYP for this part of the framing.

Much like the wainscot often used on interior walls in houses, wainscot on your pole building can be used to create a two-toned sidewall on your post frame building, adding to your building's visual appeal. Typically, the bottom 3' of the sidewall metal will match your roof color, but other options and heights are available. Wainscot isn't just for looks either. Especially on pole buildings with a tall sidewall or ones located in high traffic areas, wainscot can be a smart investment. The bottom part of the metal is often the most likely to be damaged, and it is easier and cheaper to replace a 3' piece of metal rather than a 14' or 16' piece.

Here at Pole Barns Direct, we know using the right steel roofing and siding is crucial to the life of your post frame building. Our pole barn packages also include all the metal trims and accessories needed to complete the building. The fasteners used for the pole building roofing and siding are color-matched powder coated screws. These screws self-tap through the metal (no need to pre-drill), and also have a neoprene washer to correctly seal the metal. Pole Barns Direct carries every kind of trim needed to complete your project.

Designed to help with water control around your building, gutters can be installed on buildings with or without overhang. Pole Barns Direct can include gutters in your building package, to be installed after your building shell is complete.

At Pole Barns Direct, we feature superior quality CHI overhead garage doors, available in insulated and non-insulated versions. Both door lines are available in a variety of sizes and colors. Commercial doors are also available. A few options are pictured below, but we will be happy to price any overhead door or option available in the CHI line.

When it comes to choosing your pole building features, Pole Barns Direct offers a variety of doors and windows to complete your building. From simple solid entry doors to custom-built Dutch doors, we can make it happen. Information about Sliding Doors and Garage Doors can be found on their respective pages. Our custom-built Dutch doors are fully functional and add charm and extra style to any equestrian or agricultural pole barn. Clear panel is another way you can take advantage of natural light in your pole barn, and it is often more cost-effective than traditional windows.
