Post Frame Advantage
Post-frame buildings are structurally engineered wood frame buildings. Post-frame may utilize a wide variety of foundation options; the most common being an embedded treated post supported by a concrete footing.
Most often, truss roof construction is employed, affording spans (building width) up to 80’. The columns (posts) are connected to the roof trusses with purlins (roof) and girts (side walls).
Exterior sheathing is most commonly ribbed 29GA steel, however, virtually any type of exterior siding can be used.
The entire structure forms building diaphragm that makes the light wood frame comparable to the more expansive steel and concrete structures.
- Principle Advantages:

Post-frame buildings may be designed to meet the highest standards
for quality and aesthetic beauty, and are the most efficient and
economical choice for most low-rise building applications.
