![]() Let's take a look at the difference between the two. Both approaches require that each element of a building (truss spacing, insulation R-value, etc) is built to a certain standard, but these requirements are enforced differently. As an engineered building system, post frame construction falls under the provision of the "performance-based" building codes. ![]() The standard residential "stick-frame" building system is subject to "prescriptive" building codes. This is traced back to building codes and structural design standards. ![]() For many traditional stick-frame builders, trusses spaced 8 feet apart seems unnatural, but thanks to the ingenuity of modern engineering it is a very common building design. With traditional stick-frame construction, the trusses are usually spaced 2 feet apart. Pole barn construction spaces the trusses 8 feet apart - or even up to 12 feet apart depending on the building design. ![]()
