Pole Barn Materials & Supplies

Secor Lumber supplies pole barn materials for farms, contractors, businesses and property owners across Wayne County, Rochester, Syracuse and the Finger Lakes. From laminated columns and engineered roof trusses to metal roofing, siding, insulation and structural hardware, we stock and source the components that go into a pole barn, also known as a post frame building. Order individual pole barn supplies, send us a list to quote, or start with one of our pole barn building packages. Every order can be delivered to your job site.

Pole Barn Building Materials for Every Stage of the Build

A pole barn goes up in a predictable order: foundation, frame, exterior shell, then insulation and interior finish. We organize our pole barn materials the same way, so you can source one stage or the whole building from one supplier.

Concrete footings and post bases for a pole barn foundation

Pole Barn Foundation & Post Products

A pole barn is only as durable as the base of its posts. We supply treated and laminated posts, concrete footing pads, and post protection systems that keep wood out of direct ground contact. For a permanent, rot-resistant base, ask about precast concrete columns that set in the ground and carry the wood column above grade. See our full range of foundation building materials for slabs and footers.

Pole Barn Framing: Trusses, Columns, Girts & Purlins

The frame carries every load your building will see. We supply custom-manufactured roof trusses and laminated columns, along with girts, purlins, headers and structural lumber. Trusses are specified for your span, spacing and local snow load rather than pulled from a generic chart. If you are still planning your layout, our guide explains how pole barn trusses are sized and spaced.

Pole barn metal roofing and siding with light panels and a cupola

Pole Barn Metal Roofing, Siding & Exterior Products

Most pole barns are sheathed in steel, and the details decide how well it performs. We supply metal roofing and siding panels cut to length, with matching trim, closures and fasteners. Polycarbonate light panels bring in daylight, and cupolas add ventilation and a finished look. For wood, vinyl or engineered siding options, see our siding and exterior building materials.

Pole Barn Insulation & Condensation Control

The right insulation depends on how you will use the building. Cold storage needs condensation control under the roof steel. A heated shop or living space needs a full insulation and vapor control plan. We supply anti-condensation roof membranes, reflective radiant barriers, rigid foam board, fiberglass batts and vapor barriers built for post frame walls and ceilings. Browse our building insulation products or ask our team to match a system to your building.

Pole barn interior finished with PVC wall and ceiling liner panels

Pole Barn Interior Liner Panels & Wall Finishes

Finish the inside of your pole barn with surfaces that stand up to equipment, livestock and washdowns. PVC wall and ceiling panels are waterproof, interlocking and easy to clean. Steel liner panels handle impact in shops and garages. Wood sheathing gives you a surface to fasten shelving and tool storage to.

Pole Barn Hardware, Fasteners & Tools

Post frame connections carry uplift, shear and snow loads, so the hardware matters as much as the lumber. We stock engineered post bases, truss-to-column connectors, purlin hangers and structural screws made for post frame applications, plus the impact drivers and tools to install them.

Get a Pole Barn Material List and Quote

How you order depends on how far along your plans are.

  • You have a material list. Send it to us for an itemized quote with job site delivery.
  • You have plans but no list. Our estimators complete a pole barn material takeoff from your drawings, counting every column, truss and panel before anything ships.
  • You are starting from an idea. Our design team can develop a custom pole barn design and package, including engineered drawings when your town requires them.

Pole Barn Materials Specified for Central New York

Snow and wind loads change across our region, especially in lake-effect areas near Lake Ontario. That affects column size, truss spacing, bracing and fastener schedules. Secor has supplied builders in Wayne County, the Finger Lakes region, and Central New York since 1939, and we size pole barn materials for the site they are going to, not a national average.

We are a member of the National Frame Builders Association, the trade association for the post frame industry, and our engineering work is led by David Secor, a respected New York State licensed Professional Engineer.

Pole Barn Materials FAQ

A typical pole barn uses:

  • posts or laminated columns, with footings or precast concrete bases
  • engineered roof trusses
  • girts, purlins and headers
  • steel roofing and siding, with trim and closures
  • structural fasteners and connectors
  • doors and windows
  • insulation and interior liner panels, if the building will be finished

Exact quantities depend on the building’s size, eave height, openings and local snow load.

Yes. Send your drawings and our team will complete a material takeoff that calculates every component, then provide an itemized quote with delivery. A takeoff reduces ordering errors and the risk of running short mid-build.

Yes. You can order a single component, such as trusses or roof steel, or a complete set of materials for your building. If you want design, engineering and every material quoted together, see our pole barn packages.

Yes. “Pole barn” and “post frame” describe the same construction method: posts or laminated columns set in the ground or on concrete bases, with trusses spanning the full width. “Post frame” is the industry term, while most people still search for “pole barn.”
