What
is a pole building? A "Pole building" is a method
of construction that allows you to build with vertical, up right
posts, then attach the wall framing horizontally to the post.
First the post hole is dug in the ground. Then, the post is placed
vertical in the hole, next the concrete or crushed rock is added
around the post and you fill up the hole. Posts have been
properly treated with chemicals to preserve them. ( See
the Warranty Information). The Post Frame type
of construction has been around for hundreds of years. This framing
design is the most economical way of constructing, compared to
other types of framing structures.
What
is your warranty? See the
Warranty
Information.
Can
I have "house type siding"? The post frame design
will allow you to have any choice of house siding. Inform your
sales staff of what type of house siding you choose to have installed,
we can help you with what type of substructure sheet that may
be required.
Can
I have "house type roofing"? Just like the prior
question, the post frame design will allow you to have any choice
of roofing that you would like to have. Inform your sales staff
of what type of roofing you plan to have and they can design the
proper strength of truss that can handle the weight of the roofing
material.
What
insurance should a contractor have? All contractors must have
comprehensive general liability insurance, workman's compensation
insurance for the employees, and they are to have a construction
bond approved by the state, in which the construction is being
completed. All subcontractors that are hired by your contractor
are required to have the same items.
Clear
span buildings use trusses which may span up to 80 feet.
You can have wider buildings by using additional single sloped
buildings that are attached to the main section building. This
single slope roof can be attached on one or both sides of the main
section.
What
gauge of metal do you use? The acceptable gauge of metal for
this industry is 29 gauge for the roof and walls. This is made
of galvanized metal that has baked on painted with a 25 year warrantee
paint applied to the galvanize material.
How
do the trusses work for this type of construction? The trusses
have standards that have been put together by the Truss Plate
Institute to insure the strength of structural components joined
together with steel plates. These trusses can be engineered by
for heavy snow load areas, as will as high wind areas.
