Farmers know the importance of having adequate storage for equipment and ample room for livestock during inclement weather. Building a structure to house animals and equipment can be expensive, but Pole Buildings in Coeur D’Alene ID provide the storage needed for an affordable price, and most can be built in a matter of weeks. Here is a quick look at what is involved with building a pole building, and why they have become the definitive choice for storage for farmers of all backgrounds.
Land Preparation
The first step is to prepare the site where the building will be built. A grader will be used to level the land so there are no issues with water runoff, and they will then measure and mark the location of the building’s main support poles. The last step of preparation is to dig the foundation holes, which requires the use of a gas powered auger as they will need to be a minimum of 6 feet deep to ensure a stable final result.
Foundation Poles
Once the foundation holes are prepared, the next step is to set the poles in place. A concrete mixture will be placed in the holes, and the poles will be placed in the concrete. The poles will be stabilized using ropes, as this will prevent them from moving while the cement hardens. The cement will need to set before the contractors can continue with the next phase of construction.
Truss System Installation
After the poles have been secured the next step is to install the truss system, which adds structural integrity and will hold the weight of the roof. It is vital to use bolted trusses when constructing Pole Buildings in Coeur D’Alene ID, as it will provide unparalleled durability as the wood and other structural components age over time.
