Pole Barns
Pole barns are structures made from wooden poles that support the barn. They’ve been around for a very long time, and they’re still very popular. That is because they are easy and quick to construct and are efficient spaces for storage. A pole barn uses posts as its foundation to provide support to the building. They have no dug foundations. Rather, these simple structures get all their stability from the poles.
Looking for a pole barn for your Florida property? Buildings And More offers pole barn structures for equipment storage, agricultural use, vehicles, workshops and other property needs.

Pole Barn Stages and Custom Options
Buildings And More offers two levels of barn structures: Stage 1, which comes standard with 6x6 pressure-treated posts and 29-gauge metal roofing, engineered to withstand 105 MPH winds; and Stage 2, which comes standard with 8x8 pressure-treated posts and 26-gauge metal roofing, engineered to withstand 145 MPH winds.
A variety of options are available, including enclosing the sides, gables, ends, wainscoting, partial walls, doors, roll-up doors, and windows. Lean-to additions are also a popular enhancement for our pole barn structures.
The right stage and configuration depends on the building size, intended use, installation location and applicable project requirements.
Are Pole Barns Structurally Sound?
Yes. A properly designed pole barn must account for the loads expected at its location and for its intended use.
Vertical loads act downward through the structure and can include the building's own weight and other loads placed on the roof or framing. Lateral loads act from the side and can include wind forces.
A continuous load path transfers those forces through the building components and ultimately into the ground. Exact structural requirements depend on the building design and location.

What Pole Barn Size Do You Need?
Pole barn size should start with what you plan to store, protect or work on inside the structure. Smaller footprints may work for equipment or vehicle coverage, while larger pole barns provide more room for tractors, trailers, agricultural equipment, workshops and multi-use storage.
Buildings And More offers multiple pole barn sizes, including popular configurations such as 20x20, 24x24, 24x40, 30x40, 30x50, 36x48, 36x60, 40x60 and larger options. Custom sizes may also be available depending on the project.

Posts and Metal Roofing
All 6x6 and 8x8 posts are ground contact treated with a process called Micronized Copper Azole (MCA).
29-gauge is standard in our Stage 1 pole barn structure and comes with a 25-year manufacturers warranty and is available in standard galvalume and 17 customized colors.
26-gauge is standard in our Stage 2 pole barn structure and comes with a 25-year manufacturers warranty and is available in standard galvalume and 17 customized colors.
Steel Engineered Trusses
Trusses are coated with a 3-stage rust inhibitor coating.
- Our trusses have been engineered to be superior to the construction of most other steel truss configurations on the market. Our top and bottom cords have been upsized to 2x2x3/16 angle iron. Our internal webbing has been located to provide more consistent lateral strength.
- 2x6 purlin attachment points (purlin retainers) have been upsized to gain a more secure hold on the cross purlins and provide a greater area for fastening.
