Why post frame as opposed to stud frame?
Economy – A post frame building is less expensive because you use less framing materials, erection is faster and easier, and no foundation is required. Typically the cost of a post frame is about one-third less per square foot than a stud frame building. Versatility – Post frame construction offers great versatility in designing your project. There are many styles and sizes to choose from. A post frame building can be finished out just like a stud frame building with interior walls, ceilings, windows, etc. Ease of Construction – Post frame construction is quick and relatively easy. You don’t need to be a carpenter to build it yourself, although some experience in building is helpful. Depending on the size, the average building takes 3 to 4 weeks to build on a ready site. Larger buildings of course, will take longer.
