Pole Building Questions

1. Will my pole building be built on a concrete base?

Not necessarily. This is the reason pole buildings are cheaper! The structure does not rest on a foundation as a house does. This design uses the poles to hold the weight of the building. The concrete base is placed to secure the poles better, and there are multiple methods for this. You can find out more about our building features, like pole barn siding and foundation, on our specifications page!

2. What are my foundation options?

We offer several different types of foundations for your pole building. This part of your building is super important to the overall durability of the entire structure. We provide you with the choices of a perma-column wet set foundation, perma-column concrete post, or a traditional concrete pad. Your choice of foundation depends on the size of your building and what you’ll use it for. 

3. What are the common sizes of pole barns?

One of the most common pole barn sizes is 30×40. Pole buildings come in a variety of sizes, so you can choose exactly the dimensions you need. We build all sizes of pole barns and would love to work with you to find the perfect size of pole barn for your needs!

4. Do I need a permit to build a garage or pole building on my property?

It is important to look into whether a permit is required before starting on your pole building. You can check with your township or county on any size and height restrictions, among other information. We can help provide you with a layout for your building, so you know exactly the dimensions to ask about!

5. How long will construction take for my pole building?

Construction times vary based on the size of your building. Here are the standard construction times we like to aim for, depending on their size. Keep in mind that these times are estimates and may change with the requirements of a specific project. Our aim is to finish your pole building as fast and as best as we can!

6. Do you offer any type of financing for your pole barns?

We have partnered with LightStream to help you finance your pole barn today! You can find out more about our pole barn financing on our page dedicated to it, or you can contact us with any additional questions!

7. What states do you build pole barns in?

We typically work within a 3-hour drive of Lancaster, PA. We’ve built most of our pole buildings in PA, NJ, and MD. Check out our recent projects to see some of the projects we’ve built in different locations!

8. What roof types are available for my pole building?

We offer gable or gambrel roofs for our pole buildings. On our smaller pole sheds, you can also choose a flat shed roof. We want you to be able to choose the roof that fits your needs and finish your new building with the look you want!
