A pole barn is only as strong as its foundation. The method of setting posts in concrete directly in the ground is a technique that has been used for decades. Unfortunately, contractors have experienced the same wood rot caused by this direct wood-to-ground contact for decades as well. While this method is still in use today, advanced post frame construction has moved away from this technique to a solution that is changing the industry – introducing precast concrete bases from Perma-Column!
In this blog, we’ll briefly touch on the differences between setting posts in concrete vs. using precast bases as well as the benefits that come with choosing a product like Perma-Column for your next building project.
There are a few options when it comes to setting your posts for a pole barn or any other type of post frame building.
Precast Perma-Columns are a 5’ pre-cast concrete column that keeps the wood post completely above ground. The wood column is attached to a U-shaped steel bracket made of ¼-inch steel with ½-inch thru-bolts and ¼-inch lag bolts. This bracket is robotically welded to steel reinforcement that runs the entire length of the column. The concrete section of the column extends 3’ into the ground – just as a regular post would. This creates the best permanent foundation for your post frame building.
There are many benefits that come with choosing precast concrete footings from Perma-Column for your next building project, including:
