Economical pole building construction saves time, labor, and money because it requires no foundation, excavation, only limited grading, and fewer materials. Pole buildings allow use of sites not suitable for other types of construction, and pole design offers excellent structural integrity and wind resistance. The poles transfer snow, wind, and building loads directly into the ground. Plus, the simplicity and ease of construction of pole buildings make them ideal for the first-time builder.
