Below is a brief pictorial overview of constructing your post-frame metal building. Each building kit comes with a more thorough manual which goes into more detail.
Also, to help understand what's involved, consider attending one of our upcoming free post-frame seminars.
You will first need to prepare the area, which includes drilling the holes for support posts.
Next, you can now install the posts, and use bracing to keep them level and plumb.
Once the posts are set, you will begin framing the walls.
After the walls are framed, the trusses can then be set into place, followed by the purlins.
Once the trusses are up, you should install the fascia and soffit; which will allow the roof and siding to overlap, creating a weatherproof seal.
You can now install the roofing.
Next up is the siding, remaing trim pieces, and accessories.
Finally, it's time to enjoy the fruits of your labor. Pat yourself on the back!
We love to hear from our customers after their building is up. Please drop us an email telling about your experience or to offer suggestions. We'd love to even have a photo or two of your building in use for our gallery.
