Are you thinking about rebuilding your current pole barn? Or are you thinking about building an all-new pole building in Kentucky? An aging pole barn or garage hobby shop in Kentucky can often be repaired, but replacement may be the most cost-efficient. If you aren’t sure if you should repair or replace it, consider the following signs that may suggest replacement would be best.
#1 – Your Old Barn is Falling Apart
Does your old barn have a termite problem or vertical posts rotting away near ground level? Modern technologies and wood treatment have come a long way in the last thirty years. At MQS, we warranty the posts on all our barns for fifty years! If your barn’s posts have already begun to rot, there isn’t much you can do to prevent it from continuing. Similarly, if your barn is leaning, sinking, or falling over, you shouldn’t waste your time on repairs.
#2 – Your Old Barn is Way Too Small
Because pole barn construction is relatively simple, it isn’t hard to find pole barn builders in Kentucky who will add on to an older barn. Nonetheless, if your current barn is much too small, go ahead and build a new one. There isn’t much advantage to making large additions to a small barn.
#3 – You Need a Barn, and You Don’t Have One
If you don’t already have a barn, choose post-frame construction when you decide to build. There is good reason pole barns have been so popular for decades. Post-frame construction is fast, strong, attractive, and cost-efficient.
#4 – Your Old Barn Wasn’t Built Right
Some old or poorly built pole barns should just be torn down. In many cases, the repair is more complicated than reconstruction. As they say, ‘you can put lipstick on a pig, but it is still a pig.’ Don’t waste time and money putting a new roof and siding on an old barn with a deteriorating frame or posts that weren’t treated properly before being set in the ground.
