Cute Young Brunette Girl Outside At The Old Pole Barn

The pole building design was pioneered in the 1930s originally using rounded utility poles for horse barns and agricultural buildings. Modern advancement has taken pole construction to post-frame construction using laminated columns or square posts. This led to strikingly more advanced design and efficiency compared to the original utility-pole design. Today, almost any low-rise structure can be quickly built using the post-frame construction.
Walls
The walls of a pole building are normally built using 6×8 or 6×6 pressure treated posts. For a standard snow load of 40 to 50 pounds, the posts are spaced evenly from 8' to 12' apart down both sidewalls. Posts on the end walls are normally spaced to allow for doors and provide framing for the walls. The walls are connected using a girt system of 2×6 dimensional lumber normally spaced 24" apart up the outside of the posts connecting them together. Other girt systems include framing in between the posts rather than on the outer side of the posts.
