Pole building kits are extremely popular; effectively most people that have a basic knowledge of simple building techniques and a reasonably comprehensive tool kit can construct a pole building in a few days. It can even be done single handed, but obviously more hands make light work.
So what is it about pole buildings that make them so popular, especially amongst DIY people? Quite simply they are probably the most versatile type of building, one of the easiest to construct, durable, strong and importantly, considerably less expensive than most, if not all, other types of building.
The clue as to the main part of this type of building is in the name. The complete structure is supported by a series of wooden poles. Every other part of the building is then attached by one method of another to these wooden poles.
The concept of using struts to hold up structures dates back many hundreds of years, but it wasn't until around the early 1930s that pole building really started to become common place. It came about because it was necessary to find a method of constructing a strong building cost effectively. Around the same time technological advances had meant that wooden poles could be made stronger and resistant to water, which meant they would last longer without rotting. Additionally lightweight but strong metal sheeting was being manufactured. Put the two items together and you get the perfect materials to build a strong but inexpensive building.
There are many companies that specialize in manufacturing pole building kits and they come in many forms. Poles can be used to construct barns, sheds, carports, garages, workshops and a lot more. The technique is so simply, yet the end result is a sturdy building that will last for decades.
No foundations are necessary to construct a pole building. You just ensure the land is prepared and level and then put up your poles. Every pole building kit comes with comprehensive step by step instructions. If you do find yourself having a few problems a quick call to the hotline number will ensure someone will help you. Even if you get to the stage where you need on site assistance, most companies will provide this type of service.
However, if you feel you would prefer not to construct your own pole building there's no need to worry. Pole building manufacturers generally provide a full construction service for an extra fee. You still get the same kit delivered, but the company will also send a couple of people to do the construction work. You can be sure that because they are used to constructing this type of building it is likely to be complete in a day or so, depending on the overall size.
Although a pole building kit provides the basic things to complete a pole building, there are many things you can add on to make the building more comfortable. Check out the list of extras you can have fitted like internal walls, roof lining and flooring. You can have water and electricity installed if you require.
Once your pole building is constructed and complete, you will certainly be pleased you chose this type of building.
