Building a Pole Barn? Start With the Right Materials and the Right Supply Partner.

For builders and contractors, a successful pole barn project starts long before the first post goes in the ground. Accurate material requirements, properly specified structural components, dependable availability and coordinated delivery all have an impact on how smoothly the job moves once your crew is on site.

Secor has supplied building professionals throughout Wayne County and Central New York since 1939. From individual pole barn and post frame building materials to complete pole barn packages, our team can support your project at the level that makes sense for the way you build.

What Materials Do You Need for a Pole Barn?

The exact material requirements depend on the size, use, design and engineering of the building. Agricultural buildings, equipment storage, garages, workshops and commercial structures can have very different structural and exterior requirements.

A typical pole barn or post frame project may include:

• Solid-sawn or engineered posts and columns
• Roof trusses and structural framing
• Girts, purlins and treated lumber
• Foundation and post footing systems
• Metal roofing and siding
• Roofing and siding trim
• Fasteners, connectors and building hardware
• Overhead doors, service doors and windows
• Insulation and interior building materials

Secor supplies a broad range of wood, engineered and post frame structural materials, allowing contractors to coordinate more of the building through a single local supplier.

Already Have Pole Barn Plans? Bring Them to Secor.

If your building is already designed, you may not need a complete package. You need an accurate material list, competitive pricing and a supplier who understands post frame construction.

Secor’s estimating and material takeoff services can help turn construction drawings into organized material requirements. Our team can review your plans, identify applicable quantities and help coordinate the structural and exterior products required for the project.

For contractors bidding upcoming work, that can provide a clearer picture of material requirements before purchasing begins and help reduce last-minute material problems once the crew is on the job.

Need More? Explore Complete Pole Barn Packages.

Not every project arrives with finished plans and a complete material list. Secor also offers pole barn and post frame building packages with different levels of support depending on where you are in the process.

Contractors can come to Secor with completed plans and a material list, provide plans for a material takeoff, or work with our post frame team on a more comprehensive building solution. When engineered plans are required, Secor can provide structural plans prepared under our in-house Professional Engineer and sized for the specific New York snow and wind load requirements of the building.

Built for Wayne County and Upstate New York Conditions

Pole barns in Upstate New York have to handle more than the loads created by the building itself. Snow, wind, freeze-thaw conditions and site-specific requirements all influence structural design and material selection. The Building Code of New York State establishes structural design requirements, including ground snow loads applicable across New York State.

That is why a pole barn should be considered as a complete structural system. The roofing, trusses, bracing, columns, connections and foundation all work together to transfer loads safely through the structure. The National Frame Building Association provides technical resources for post-frame building design and construction, including guidance related to structural loads, foundations and building codes.

Foundation choices matter as well. Secor offers post frame foundation and footing systems for contractors considering alternatives to traditional embedded wood columns.

Keep Materials Moving With the Project

Getting the material list right is only part of the job. Materials also need to arrive when your crew is ready for them.

Secor can help coordinate estimating, product selection, ordering and jobsite delivery so contractors have a clearer path from plans to materials on site. For builders managing multiple projects, working with a local supplier that understands the project can simplify communication and help keep purchasing organized.

Your Plans. Your Crew. A Better Way to Source the Build.

Whether you need posts and trusses for an upcoming build or a complete pole barn package, Secor gives Wayne County builders and contractors a local resource for post frame materials, estimating, design support and delivery.
