Living in Western Washington means adapting to a unique climate. With our region's abundant rainfall, occasional snow, and moderate temperatures, homeowners need building solutions that stand up to these specific challenges while providing excellent value. That's why more and more homeowners across Pierce, King, and Thurston counties are turning to post-frame construction for their garage needs.
Post-frame construction (sometimes called pole barn construction) is a building method that uses large, widely-spaced posts deeply embedded in the ground or set on a concrete foundation to create the main structural support system. Unlike traditional stick-built construction that relies on closely spaced wall studs, post-frame buildings distribute loads through these robust posts and trusses.
For Western Washington homeowners, this construction method offers distinct advantages that are particularly well-suited to our regional conditions.
