Across the country and right next door, the many ‘faces’ of post-frame are everywhere. From simple and efficient to eye-catching and elaborate, post-frame versatility is limited only by your imagination. Because so many types of materials may be used on the facade, people often may not realize it when they are looking at a post-frame building. According to Tim Royer, P.E., “Architecturally, any structure you see driving down the road could be a post-frame building, because the finishes would not look any different from another style of building. ” Today, it makes little difference whether the building purchaser favors the aesthetics of wood siding, brick or stucco; virtually any look is possible with post-frame. Professional engineer Ron Sutton, agrees. Post-frame roof coverings can also achieve almost any look. Roofing materials such as composite or cedar shake single, slate, tile, metal and other membranes may be used. Any roof pitch may be selected, and practically “flat” low-slope roof decks can be installed upon which a watertight system may be added. Satisfied Post-Frame Building Owners are Talking

“The customer on this project had an idea for a different kind of shopping center. The Sunny Point garden center is part of a group of seven buildings, several of which have two distinct facades for each of the retail businesses inside. She decided to go with post-frame buildings for the project because of their versatility of design, durability and strength – as well as their reasonable price.” - Bob Resch, Building Sales Manager
