Here’s the facts. Whether business is booming or you’re just getting started, finding the right space can be a challenge.
High rents, long leases, limited customization… These realities leave many business owners wondering what to do next. If only you had more space… But, you know, without all the headaches. What if there was another option? Well, there is.
Pole barns (often called post-frame buildings) offer flexibility, cost-effectiveness, and long-term compatibility with your business. Interested in learning more? Just keep reading.
When some business owners hear the word “barn” they might think twice. And rightly so. Pole barns are used by agriculturalists all over the world. But it’s not because these buildings are uniquely suited to farming. Let me explain.
The term “pole barn” is actually a catchall term referring to a style of construction. Pole barns and post-frame buildings are simply a type of structure that uses external support beams to hold the building in place. This differs from the interior support walls of traditional construction.
Pole barns are rapidly growing in popularity among farmers, yes, but also business owners, and homeowners. And it’s no wonder why.
Here are a few of the reasons a new post-frame building might be perfect for your business. Give it a read and let our team know if you have any questions along the way.
Let’s get the big one out of the way. Pole barns are often inexpensive to build—especially in comparison to traditional commercial buildings. There are a few reasons for this.
For one, pole barns don’t require a foundation. They also require fewer materials and less labor to build. All of this results in lower upfront costs—making them an attractive option for startups and smaller businesses hoping to minimize expenses.
Need a showroom? Office spaces? A manufacturing floor? All in the same building? No problem.
Due to their unique construction, a pole barn’s floor plan can be set in nearly any configuration. This flexibility ensures your workspace supports your business and serves you well into the future—regardless of the kinds of spaces you need to best serve your clients.
We know it’s in the name, but pole barns don’t have to look like, well, barns.
With options like custom windows and doors, unique wainscot, cupolas, siding, roofing, and timber-frame exteriors, you can design a striking home for your business. And if you aren’t sure where to start, a trusted post-frame contractor can go over your options and help you find the perfect look for your business.
Here’s a little-known fact about pole barns. They can be built more quickly per square foot than traditional buildings. This means you can move your business in sooner and get to work that much faster. Because it’s true what they say…
Time is money.
When retrofitted with proper ventilation, pole barns can maintain comfortable indoor temperatures year-round, often for much less than traditional building types. Plus, the metal exteriors of pole barns offer excellent insulator properties—meaning lower energy bills and more sustainable business operations from the get-go.
If environmental impact is a concern for your business, pole barns are the way to go.
Wood is a renewable resource—and since it’s the primary building material in pole barns, these buildings tend to have a lower carbon footprint (as compared to building materials like steel, cement, and cinder block). Additionally, the minimal excavation required during construction reduces land disturbance, making pole barns a greener choice for your business—and the earth—all around.
