Pole Buildings in Spokane WA are also known as post-frame buildings. Contractors often call them by the latter term because so many people think of pole buildings as only for agricultural use, and they’re only familiar with the term “pole barn.” Barns and farm sheds have always been representative of this style, but the design is increasingly used for commercial buildings and even residences. Of course, in those cases, more complex features must be added. Insulation, windows, and heating equipment must be in place. This pole and truss design tend to work very well in houses meant to look rustic or with country decor.
People who have spent much time on farms or ranches may picture Pole Buildings in Spokane WA as having posts throughout the building in places where those structures wouldn’t be desirable in a home. Contractors can construct post-frame buildings with large areas of space that don’t need to be supported by poles. The property owner can have walls to separate rooms or have a nearly open floor plan aside from bedrooms and bathrooms. A smaller pole and truss house might have only one entirely private room: the bathroom. A loft could function as the bedroom while the first floor features a main living area and kitchen.
Contractors who build these structures commonly advertise certain sizes that are the most popular. However, contractors such as Town & Country Builders Inc can customize those sizes if a client has something different in mind. In addition, although two-story pole buildings aren’t typically advertised, it’s possible to build them with this floor plan.
Many property owners choose post-frame buildings for residential use because they like the design. However, there are numerous advantages to this type of construction. It’s typically more affordable than the construction of a frame house, also known as a stick-built home. People who long for a brand new house may not be able to afford any other type except a modular or manufactured home. Then they won’t be able to customize it as they can do with a pole building. In addition, these buildings are known for withstanding severe weather and earthquakes better than many other residential designs because of their unique construction.
