Post Frame Structural Features
- The walls feature laminated columns, also called posts, instead of wood studs, steel framing or concrete masonry.
- The roof is supported by clear span trusses, eliminating the need for weight-bearing interior walls. This means you can put the walls wherever you want, not in a specific place to help hold up the roof. If your needs change, you can reconfigure the interior to accommodate them.
- Columns are spaced farther apart than studs, so there are fewer interruptions in insulating materials. Post-frame buildings feature an exceptionally large wall cavity for ample insulation, which allows for lowered heating and cooling costs throughout the year.
Post Frame Advantages
- Post-frame structures are more quickly erected than other kinds of buildings since many of the components are pre-built in a manufacturing facility, out of the weather and ready to be assembled on-site.
- Because the larger posts and the interlocking frame can handle greater loads than stud-wall construction, fewer structural materials are needed — which saves on material and installation costs.
- Post-frame buildings transfer loads to the ground through the posts, which are typically embedded in the ground or surface-mounted to a concrete pier or masonry foundation.
Endless possibilities for your post frame building
With its roots in the agricultural market, post-frame is now the construction method of choice for any number of commercial, retail, industrial, residential, religious and public building needs. Due to the nature of its design and many external façade options, post frame may be customized to provide virtually any look.
In addition to new construction, post-frame is also an effective and versatile choice for building additions and remodeling projects.

CUSTOMER TESTIMONIALS
"Willie Kimmons was the most helpful, friendly, knowledgeable, salesman I have ever worked with. He went over and above to help us throughout the complete process and hope you recognize him for being an outstanding rep for Wick. He didn't treat only as a valued customer, we felt like family every time I talked to him. So again hope you can reward him with the highest honors you have! As far as the building crew lead by Roger, they were the most professional an worked like well oiled machine. I grew up in construction and was amazed on how well they worked together. Everyone was always moving and always kept 100% quality in mind so even though Roger is retiring he should also be honored with the highest possible award or recognition your company has along with Willie. The absolute best!! We are telling everyone how awesome Wick is and our next barn I will call Willie."
