Possibilities
Our buildings have endless possibilities when it comes to options and uses. Our buildings can be designed entirely around the specifics of your location and use of the building. The buildings are adaptable to various installation methods and can even be added unto existing structures. Roof pitches can vary depending upon the look you desire. Our buildings can clear span up to 170’, which means you can do about anything you can think of without structural members being in the way. Additional windows, doors, or garage doors can be added onto the buildings at a later date due to the simplicity of construction. You can add onto our buildings in the future as well.
Our buildings are flexible when it comes to various interior finishing. The inside of our building can look like the inside of your home if you wish. We offer a variety of exterior finishes as well to get the best looking building that satisfies your taste and budget.

Our buildings can be used for absolutely any type or purpose of building out there. Our buildings can be used for houses, barns, livestock shelters, retail facilities, equestrian, shops, garages, commercial, storage, industrial, municipal, or airplane hangars. Post frame has evolved to become a very versatile means of construction for less money when compared to steel framing or stud framing.

Fast Installation
Since post frame buildings have far less material but larger members than conventional framing, the building process takes far less time. Our crews are highly trained and skilled in the construction of our buildings. Through many years of experience, we have developed an efficient installation process and can deliver a high quality building in a short time period.

Because of the ease of construction and the simplicity of post frame buildings, our crews install through the winter months, (yes even in North Dakota and Montana.)

Affordability
Since post frame buildings have less material than conventional buildings, and they are installed in half the time, the cost of our buildings compared to conventional buildings is roughly 2/3 the cost. Post frame makes if affordable for customers to obtain more building and coverage than conventional framing or steel framed buildings. Steel framed buildings and conventionally framed buildings typically require a foundation wall which adds major expense even before you get to the structure itself.

Energy Efficiency
When it comes to energy efficiency, post frame construction outperforms stud frame or steel frame. Post frame construction typically has a 8’ to 16’ wall cavities between posts, where batt insulation or spray foam insulation can be filled without the hindrance of framing members that you would otherwise encounter in stud framing. Steel frame buildings are highly conductive and therefore transfer heat and cold easily from the outside to the inside. Since wood has far less conductivity than steel, there is less thermal transfer in post frame buildings than all steel buildings.

All our steel wall and roof paneling is Energy Star Rated to bring more efficiency to your building through reflection and “cool” metal roofing.

Strength
We take our customers’ investment in our buildings very seriously. One thing you will not find in our company is “cheapening the building up”. We don’t do the absolute minimum in design, construction, and product to get the cheapest material price, and then install in the shortest amount of time, jeopardizing quality craftsmanship, just to get the job. We take our buildings design and integrity very serious to ensure the strongest building.

Montana Post Frame takes great consideration, time, and effort to assure that you will get a building that will withstand the elements of our Northern climate. All our buildings are engineered for Snow, Wind, and Seismic loading.

We also include a safety factor in our designs to make sure we are above minimum requirements and can withstand the times when our climate delivers beyond the minimums design requirements.
