A metal pole barn is a type of structure that is commonly used for agricultural, industrial, or storage purposes. It typically consists of large treated wooden poles or posts that are embedded into the ground to provide structural support for the building. The roof is made of 26-Gauge PBR (purlin-bearing R) panels or 29-Gauge Ag panels, and the interior space is open and unobstructed, allowing for flexible usage.

Pole barns can be built in a wide range of sizes, from small units to large agricultural or commercial buildings. Custom sizes are available to suit specific needs. At Matador, that means widths of 12’, 20’, 24’ 30’, 36’, 40’, 50’, and 60’ and lengths of 20’ to 300’.

Yes, metal pole barns are known for their durability. The combination of strong metal roofing, angle iron trusses, red iron or galvanized purlins, and treated rough-cut wood posts ensures long-lasting performance.

Yes, metal pole barns are customizable. They can be tailored to suit your specific requirements in terms of size, and roofing color. You also customize the color of trim and add enclosed gables. Matador sales rep can give your specific information in regard to your needs.

Metal pole barns are versatile and commonly used for agricultural purposes (shaded livestock housing, covered hay storage), equipment storage, workshops, outdoor open-air storage facilities, covered parking for RV or other large vehicles, or machinery. They can even be used as the basic foundational start for other buildings or homes.

No. Not complete resistance. The roof of a pole barn provides some basic protection, but having no side walls, they are not meant to provide impermeable coverage. However, they do provide shaded cover that can be good for protection from the sun for both animals and people. Matador pole barns are engineered with wind ratings of 105 mph or 145 mph.

Matador delivers pole barns to southern Alabama, southern Georgia, and northern Florida. Delivery through a third party can be arranged for other areas of the continental United States. Contact us to inquire about delivery options for your specific location.

The time between order and delivery of pole barn kits can vary depending on factors such as design complexity and production schedule, but kits can usually be delivered in 6-8 weeks, or picked up from our plant in Thomasville, GA. Contact us for estimated delivery times.

Pole barns can be designed and engineered to be structurally strong, capable of withstanding weather elements and heavy loads. However, comparing the strength of a pole barn to a house can vary depending on specific factors and construction details.

Properly designed and constructed pole barns can withstand high winds. Factors such as the quality of construction, wind load calculations, and proper anchoring contribute to their wind resistance. Matador pole barns are wind-rated either 105 mph or 145 mph.
