How is a Pole Barn different from other structures?

Definition:
A pole barn, also known as a post-frame building, is a large structure with a high ceiling, open spaces, and a frame made of wood posts that are buried into the ground. Pole barns are known for being economical, durable, and quick to construct.

Pros:

  • Energy efficient
  • Many uses: storing equipment, housing livestock,
    or serving as a garage
  • Durable
  • Quick construction

Cons:

  • Limited design and construction options
  • Potential for zoning-related challenges depending on location
  • Difficult to appraise and often undervalued
  • May have issues securing a lender
