This week readers “ask the Guru” about “residential kits and how it comes to my site. Is it built or does it need to be assembled,” Designing for Snow Loads in northern Minnesota, and Finding a Builder in Wyoming.
DEAR POLE BARN GURU: Hi. I’m interested in one of your residential kits and how it comes to my site. Is it built or does it need to be assembled then? Thanks and I look forward to your response. JERRY in ROME
DEAR JERRY: Thank you for your interest in a new Hansen Pole Building. We are America’s leader in providing fully engineered, 100% custom designed, post frame building and barndominium kits, with multiple buildings delivered by truck to clients in all 50 states. Your new building kit is designed for an average physically capable person, who can and will read and follow instructions, to successfully construct your own beautiful building shell. Most of our clients do DIY – saving tens of thousands of dollars. Need a builder? We can probably help you there too. We’ve had clients ranging from septuagenarians to fathers bonding with their teenage daughters erect their own buildings, so chances are – you can as well! Your new building investment includes full multi-page 24” x 36” structural blueprints detailing location and attachment of every piece (as well as suitable for obtaining Building Permits), our industry’s best, fully illustrated, step-by-step installation manual, and unlimited technical support from people who have actually built post frame buildings. Even better – it includes our industry leading Limited Lifetime Structural warranty! We would appreciate an opportunity to participate in your new pole building. Please email your building specifics, site address and best contact number to our Design Studio Manager Caleb@HansenPoleBuildings.com or call 1.866.200.9657 Thank you. https://www.hansenpolebuildings.com/2024/04/things-hansen-pole-buildings-does-better-than-any-other-post-frame-building-provider/
DEAR POLE BARN GURU: I see your building (that’s attached) is rated for 20lb ground snow load and 105 mph winds. Up here in northern MN we need a 60psf snow load rating, can you modify the attached cabin to make that happen? BRANDON in CASS LAKE

DEAR BRANDON: As we service all 50 states, we can adapt any building, to any snow and wind loads either required or desired. We have engineered for snow loads in excess of 400 pounds per square foot and wind speeds above 200 miles per hour, A member of our Building Design Team will reach out to you shortly to discuss your building wants and needs, or call 1.866.200.9657 for immediate service.
