Pole Barns
Pole barns are structures made from wooden poles that support the barn. They’ve been around for a very long time, and they’re still very popular. That is because they are easy and quick to construct and are efficient spaces for storage. A pole barn uses posts as its foundation to provide support to the building. They have no dug foundations. Rather, these simple structures get all their stability from the poles.
Buildings And More offers custom pole barn structures to meet our customers needs. Our pole barn structures are engineered and manufactured in Lake City, FL. Trusses are custom built and welded from high-grade steel with upgraded design, strength, and durability at the forefront.

Are Pole Barns Structurally Sound?
Pole barn kits must be structurally sound. Withstanding the anticipated structural load without breaking is key. All post-frame buildings, wherever they are located or whatever size they may be must resist lateral and vertical loads safely.
Vertical loads are a load that acts up and down. Some common vertical loads are lofts, second stories, deck systems, the building’s own weight, and snow on its top.
Lateral loads are loads that act parallel to the ground, like earthquakes and strong winds. Those forces may work in all directions.
Pole barns need to withstand loads that are both perpendicular and parallel to all of their walls. Structural loads have to pass from all the areas where loads are applied. The load path is the force transfer through any post-frame structure. Continuous load paths transfer all lateral and vertical loads from one component of the building to the next. That continues until the ground is reached.
