F A QWHAT IS POST FRAME? IT IS A STRUCTURE WHERE THE ROOF IS SUPPORTED ON POSTS INSTEAD OF USING A FOOTING, FOUNDATION, AND STUDDED WALL TO SUPPORT THE ROOF
THE DESIGN ELIMINATES THE EXPENSIVE FOOTINGS AND THE NEED FOR AN EXPENSIVE TRUSS SYSTEM EVERY 24” ON CENTER WHY WOULD I CHOOSE POST FRAME V/S STICK FRAME? POST FRAME IS NOT ONLY LESS EXPENSIVE BUT SINCE THE ROOF IS SUPPORTED BY POSTS INSTEAD OF AN ENGINEERED WALL IT ALLOWS FOR ADDITIONS OR WINDOW AND DOOR OPENINGS TO BE ADDED WITHOUT ADDITIONAL ENGINERING HOW IS POST FRAME DIFFERENT FROM STEEL FRAME?
