Post-frame building is a simplified building technique that makes use of large posts or poles that are embedded in the ground below the frost line. The posts sit on a concrete foundation at the base of the hole. The poles give vertical support while horizontal girts and truss system give lateral support to tie the entire system together.
Today engineered post-frame buildings are used for more than traditional farm uses like barns and equipment sheds. Modern post frame buildings offer an ideal system for commercial purposes too.
