Wood posts are an
option for smaller, narrower
fabric buildings. Wood
posts and walls
can be
inexpensive, and allow
for various sheeting
materials to be applied
both on the exterior and
interior of a fabric
covered building. The
wider the building, the
more stress is put on
the
wood posts, which likely
will cause failure when maximum
wind and snow loads are
applied.
Wood post mount foundations are a great option for structures 62’ and narrower.
Wood posts are often utilized on agricultural installations for hay shelters,
calving barns and even smaller riding arenas. The most common post sizes are
8”x 8” treated posts, installed 4’-6’ in the ground and stand 4’-6’ above grade.
Most installers will tamp the posts using pea gravel and cement powder. Wood
post foundations can be installed with minimal resources and manpower with a low
overall cost.Wood Posts
