Post Frame Buildings
Post Frame Builders for Hutchinson, MN
Post frame starts with big columns set deep in the ground. Girts run between them, trusses sit on top and steel panels cover the whole thing. The posts do the lifting, so the building needs no continuous foundation wall, and the inside stays open. In farm country that means a fast build, a wide clear span and a structure that shrugs off wind and snow.
Posts embedded below the frost line grip the ground against wind uplift and heave. Brackets on a slab or piers are another way to go, better where you want a visible foundation or need to avoid digging. The method suits farm sheds, shops, feed and storage buildings, small commercial space and even homes. The builder explains which method fits your use and soil.
