Benefits of
Post-Frame Buildings

Trail Blazer Barns employs the post-frame construction method, utilizing large laminated columns instead of traditional wood studs, steel framing, or concrete masonry. This approach offers numerous advantages:

• The use of large clear-spans allows for open, adaptable floor plans free from load-bearing walls or columns, enabling distinctive designs and aesthetics. Our hybrid technology further extends these clear-span capabilities, accommodating buildings up to 60′, surpassing other steel pole barn constructions.

• The post-frame building design creates a robust structure that effectively withstands wind and seismic forces, even for structures exceeding 60′.

• Post-frame construction minimizes the need for wall and roof framing materials, as well as footing and foundation materials.

Post Frame VS
POLE BARN

What’s the Difference?

A pole barn structure is a type of building construction that uses large wooden posts or columns as the primary vertical support members. These posts are typically embedded into the ground and serve as both the foundation and structural support for the building. The horizontal framing members, such as girts and purlins, are then attached to the posts to create the framework for walls and roof. This construction method is often used for agricultural buildings, storage sheds, and similar structures. It’s known for its cost-effectiveness, versatility, and relatively quick construction. The design allows for open, unobstructed interiors, making it suitable for various applications.
