Pole Barn & Post Frame Building Packages

Pole barns and post frame buildings are the same proven construction method: engineered posts or laminated columns set in the ground or on concrete piers, with trusses spanning the full width so the interior is free of load-bearing walls.

Secor Lumber designs and supplies complete pole barn packages for builders, contractors, farms, businesses, municipalities and property owners, from material quotes on your plans to fully engineered building designs.

Why Choose a Pole Barn or Post Frame Building?

Pole barns and post frame buildings use large, engineered posts or laminated columns in place of traditional stud walls, giving your builder clear-span interiors without load-bearing walls. The inside of the building can then be laid out to fit your needs, now or as they change.

With more than 80 years designing and supplying post frame and pole barn projects across Central and Western New York, Secor engineers every package to account for our region’s snow and wind loads. We are a proud member of the National Frame Builders Association.

Frequently Asked Questions

There is no structural difference. “Pole barn” and “post frame building” describe the same construction method. The name “pole barn” comes from early farm buildings framed on round poles. Today’s post frame buildings use engineered laminated columns set in the ground or on concrete piers, with trusses spanning the full width so the interior is free of load-bearing walls. The National Frame Builders Association uses “post frame,” but most people still search for “pole barn,” and both terms describe the buildings we design and supply.

Yes. Secor’s pole barn packages work like a kit: every structural and finish component your building needs, quoted together and delivered to your site. Unlike a generic national kit, each package is calculated for your building’s dimensions, doors, openings and New York snow and wind loads. You can start from a pre-priced package or have us design a custom building.

A typical package includes the materials needed to build the shell, quoted as one coordinated order. Depending on your project, that can include:

  • laminated columns or posts, and post bases such as precast concrete column systems
  • engineered trusses
  • girts and purlins
  • steel roofing and siding, with trim
  • doors, windows and fasteners

Design drawings and engineering are added at the RFPS and RFP levels.

Secor designs and supplies pole barn and post frame buildings. We do not act as a general contractor. Construction is handled by independent builders and contractors, many of whom we’ve worked with for decades. For customers who want a complete turn-key solution, we coordinate design, materials and construction through a builder from our network, so you have one point of contact from planning through delivery.

  • Yes. If you already have completed plans and a post frame and pole barn material list, submit a Request for Quote (RFQ). We’ll provide an itemized quote that includes delivery to your job site. This is the most common option for experienced builders and contractors.

Yes. With a Takeoff (Request for Estimate), our team reviews your plans, calculates the quantities of every component, and provides a complete materials takeoff list. That reduces ordering errors and the risk of material shortages mid-build.

Yes. When a project requires structural documentation, Secor can provide:

CAD floor plans, elevations and cross sections
connection and bracing details
truss specifications
engineering review with a Professional Engineer’s seal when your municipality requires it

Requirements vary by town and building use, so we recommend confirming permit requirements with your local code enforcement office early in planning.

Yes. Every package is designed around the snow and wind loads for the building’s location. Load requirements vary significantly across Central and Western New York, especially near Lake Ontario, so column size, truss spacing and bracing are specified for your site rather than taken from a one-size-fits-all kit.

Pole barn cost depends mainly on these factors:

  • building size and eave height
  • local snow load
  • door and window count
  • roofing and siding choices
  • whether you need design and engineering services

The fastest way to get an accurate number is to start with a pre-priced package or request a quote. We’ll provide an itemized estimate with delivery included, so there are no surprises when materials arrive.

Yes. Post frame construction is increasingly used for homes, barndominiums and finished living spaces. Residential occupancy carries additional code requirements for foundations, insulation, energy compliance and egress, so these projects need careful planning from the start. Our design team can develop a post frame layout suited to residential use and coordinate the materials to finish it.

Yes. We can help you plan your building and connect you with a trusted local builder from our network who fits your project’s size, type and schedule.

It starts with a conversation about your project and the level of support you need. From there, the steps can include:

  • builder connection, if needed
  • design and engineering
  • a detailed material takeoff
  • scheduled delivery to your job site

All of this happens before construction begins, so your builder has what they need when they need it.

We primarily serve builders, contractors and property owners in Wayne County, Central New York and the Finger Lakes region, from our locations in Savannah, Newark and Ontario, NY. We have also supplied projects across Upstate New York and New England. Delivery to your job site is included in every quote.
