Pole barns have been around for about 90 years and are one of the most economical options for erecting a barn for livestock. They are sturdy and can be placed almost anywhere, which makes them a valuable option for residential and commercial farming operations. However, pole barns can be used for much more than housing chickens or cows – they can be excellent options for many creative uses.
Pole barns are constructed with wood or metal “poles” that are driven into the ground. Back in the 1930s, retired telephone poles were used as anchors to build cheap barns, resulting in the name “telephone-pole barn.” Now just called pole barns, they are a mainstay structure for all types of property owners as they do not need a foundation or level ground, saving time and money.
