Question 1

Do you build pole barns in Vernon?

Accepted Answer

Yes. Pole barns are popular for agricultural storage and equipment buildings throughout the North Okanagan. We use post-frame construction engineered for Vernon's snow loads.

Question 2

What is a pole barn?

Accepted Answer

A pole barn (or post-frame building) uses large posts set into the ground as the primary structural support. This allows for wide open spans without interior columns — ideal for equipment storage and livestock.

Question 3

Are pole barns cheaper than stick-built buildings?

Accepted Answer

Generally, yes. Post-frame construction is more efficient than conventional stick-built methods, which often makes pole barns a more cost-effective option for large agricultural and storage buildings.

Question 4

How long do pole barn posts last in Vernon?

Accepted Answer

With proper pressure-treated posts and engineered foundations, pole barn posts can last 40+ years. We use Perma-Column systems on many builds to eliminate ground-contact rot entirely.
