Our specialty since day one

Post frame buildings for farms, shops and homes in Iowa and Nebraska

A post frame building (pole barn) uses large wood posts set in the ground or on concrete footings to carry the roof and walls, so the inside stays wide open with few load-bearing walls. It is what we have built since the start.

Questions

Post frame questions

Updated September 2026

What is a post frame building?

A post frame building, often called a pole barn, uses large wood posts set in the ground or on concrete footings to carry the roof and walls. That means few interior load-bearing walls and a wide open inside.

It is the Midwest favorite for machine sheds, livestock barns, shops, garages and barndominiums.

Is post frame cheaper than steel or stick frame?

Post frame is typically the most budget-friendly option of the three, because it uses fewer materials and needs less site prep.

Your final price still depends on size, doors, insulation, concrete and finishes, so we quote each building on its own.

Can a post frame building be insulated and finished?

Yes. Post frame walls are easy to insulate and finish for year-round use, which is why it works for heated shops and barndominiums.
