Whether you need to protect large machinery and equipment or a recreational vehicle like an RV, effective and sturdy outdoor storage solutions like pole barns can be a practical investment. In most cases, pole barns are designed for agricultural storage needs like housing livestock and storing feed or farming equipment. They are typically constructed as wood-framed structures with steel roof trusses.
To ensure proper wind resistance, machine-dug holes and an engineer-approved poundage of concrete are poured to anchor the posts deep into the ground. This is especially important for pole barns constructed in Florida as they will need to withstand severe weather conditions.
When it comes to the pole barn flooring, there are several options available, but concrete tends to be the more popular choice in Florida.
Before construction can begin, consider your budget, the location of your pole barn, what you will be storing in it and whether dust and moisture control are important. These factors may influence your choice of flooring in your pole barn.
Most building inspectors and contractors will advise you to wait to pour concrete until the poles and skirt boards are in place. The concrete acts as a sturdy foundation for the wooden structure. Once it is freshly poured during the building process, it increases the pole barn’s durability and longevity.
If you have an existing concrete slab, it may be possible to build a pole barn over it. Keep in mind that it will likely be more expensive due to the amount of time and labor it takes to cut into the concrete slab. If your timeline and budget are important, you may want to consider building your pole barn in a different location that does not have a pre-existing concrete slab.
