Why Replacing Posts on Your Pole Barn is a Smart Move

If you're debating whether to replace the posts on your pole barn or start fresh with a new build, let me share why replacing posts might be the smartest decision you’ll make.

This summer, we helped a customer with a hay barn that needed some serious work. By replacing the posts instead of tearing it down and building new, we saved them $70,000 to $80,000. That’s a massive amount of money left in their pocket, and the building is as good as ever.

Here’s why this option makes sense:

Cost Savings

Replacing posts is far more economical than a complete rebuild. You maintain the structure you already have while addressing the core issue.

No Permits Needed

Your existing building is already permitted. That means no headaches dealing with permits for a new structure—especially if the location, size, or design would make permitting a challenge.

Quicker Turnaround

Building new requires extensive planning and time. Replacing posts can get your barn back to working condition faster, minimizing disruption.

If your pole barn is starting to show its age but still has potential, replacing the posts might be the perfect solution. It’s practical, economical, and efficient—exactly what we like to deliver for our customers.
