What to Buy- Steel Barn or Pole Barn?

If you are contemplating buying a steel barn or a pole barn it is easier to make a decision after seeing some comparisons. Pole barns have been around for a very long time, and often people just assume that this is the best route to go.

Pole Barn Construction

This type of building requires wooden poles, which gives it its name. They can vary in size depending on what the size of the barn is going to be. The wood poles have the responsibility of bearing the weight of the roof and providing stability to the structure. The poles are placed into holes in the ground. Where this becomes a problem is that over time the ground becomes unsettled and the poles can shift. Being as they are made of wood they are subject to decay.

Steel Barn Construction

Instead of wood, steel beams are used and are anchored to a concrete slab or pier. The problem that exists with the pole barn in regards to pole shift and rotting is non-existent in the steel barn construction.
