What is Post-Frame? Morton Buildings is the industry-leader in post-frame construction. Post-frame construction is a highly engineered wood-frame building system that meets local, state and national building codes. Post-frame buildings feature large, laminated columns instead of wood studs, steel framing, or concrete masonry. » A post-frame building forms a tremendously strong structure that efficiently resists wind and seismic forces, even for buildings that clear-span 100 feet or more in width. » Post-frame construction requires limited wall and roof framing materials, and minimal footing and foundation materials. » Post-frame achieves sustainable benefits without prohibitive cost restraints, as it includes many sustainable design aspects by default. » Our structures aren’t just single-story box buildings. We can accommodate your vision of the ideal space and even construct multiple-story buildings.
