Assessing Your Wisconsin Post Frame Needs

Enhancing the durability and visual appeal of your post frame building is made possible with the addition of wainscot paneling. Our post frame 3D builder tool allows you to envision the impact of incorporating wainscot paneling, empowering you to make informed decisions about this design element.

Interior Layout:
The interior of your post frame building deserves equal attention. Customizing the layout to optimize space utilization can greatly enhance its functionality.
Structural Modifications for your Wisconsin Post Frame Building
In addition to design considerations, structural modifications can further enhance the functionality of your post frame building:
Integration of Lean-tos or Overhangs:
Incorporating lean-tos or overhangs provides additional covered storage or workspace, expanding the versatility of your post frame building.
Mezzanines or Loft Areas:
If you require additional storage or workspace, consider adding mezzanines or loft areas. These elevated platforms maximize vertical space utilization and offer a versatile solution to expand the capacity of your post frame building.
Partitions or Dividers:
Installing partitions or dividers within your post frame building allows you to create separate areas.
Interior Customization:
The interior of your post frame building offers additional opportunities for customization, ensuring optimal functionality and comfort. Consider the following options:
- Wall and Ceiling Finishing: Choose the level of finishing that best suits your needs and preferences. Options include drywall, which provides a polished and versatile surface, or steel for added durability and a modern aesthetic. For extremely durable surfaces, we offer ¾ inch plywood or LP smart panels. The choice of finishing can greatly impact the overall look and feel of your post frame interior.
- Insulation: Proper insulation is crucial for temperature control, energy efficiency, and maintaining a comfortable environment inside your post frame building. Consider options such as spray foam insulation or fiberglass insulation to optimize energy efficiency and create a climate-controlled space.
Remember, Everlast Structures’ team is available to guide you through these interior customization options, helping you make informed decisions that align with your vision and requirements.
Budgeting and Planning
While customizing your post frame building, it’s important to budget and plan effectively.
There are zoning requirements in Wisconsin that dictate what type of pole building you can or cannot build. We suggest downloading our zoning worksheet from our website.
Take into account the costs associated with the desired design options, structural modifications, and interior customizations. Consider both the materials and labor expenses, as well as any professional services required. This will help you establish a realistic budget and prevent any financial surprises during the project.
Additionally, planning the timeline for your customization project is crucial. Set clear milestones, including a start date and completion date, to keep the project on track and ensure a smooth progression.
