FAQ
WHAT ARE WOOD TRUSSES?
Wood trusses are triangular frames of lumbar that are joined together by galvanized steel connector plates.
WHAT IS POST FRAME?
Post frame buildings and pole barns are the same thing. They are efficient structures whose primary framing system is comprised of wood trusses. The trusses are connected to vertical timber columns or sidewall posts. The foundation system of a post frame building is unique – the columns, posts, or poles can be buried in the ground making up the foundation, which eliminates the need for a footer.
WHAT ARE THE BENEFITS OF POST FRAME BUILDINGS?
One of the benefits of post frame buildings is that it allows for economical, heavily insulated buildings. Heath Building’s most common exterior wall covering is pre-painted 45-year warranty, 29 gauge steel siding.
As with the siding, the most common roof cladding for Heath Building’s structures is pre-painted 45-year warranty, 29 gauge steel roofing.
Post frame construction eliminates the need of a concrete footer, which helps cut down cost, and will ultimately speed up your building project.
CAN I BUILD IT MYSELF?

HOW MUCH DOES HEATH BUILDING MATERIALS CHARGE PER SQUARE FOOT?
Square foot cost varies on a case-by-case basis. It depends on a number of factors, such as the number of windows and doors, ceiling heights, and the truss layouts and designs.
