What Is a Pole Barn?

Pole barn buildings are built using a simplified form of construction that uses large posts or poles for vertical structural support and girths for horizontal supports. First developed in the 1930s, this form of creating a building offered a means by which larger structures could be erected more quickly and economically for a variety of purposes.

Modern versions of these pole buildings are commonly referred to as post-frame construction. The term “pole barn” harkens back to the original method of construction that used wooden poles like telephone poles. Today, sturdy metal posts are used instead of poles, and prefab barns using this sort of construction are both sturdy and inexpensive.
