When it comes to foundations on your post frame building, you have choices. This means that doing some research on the best option to protect the value of your investment is important.
NOT ALL POST FRAME FOUNDATIONS ARE EQUAL!
Let’s get right to the point. The concrete Perma-Column® post is a permanent foundation system for post frame buildings that offers a lifetime guarantee. And it makes sense. If you use standard wooden posts in the ground as the foundation for your project, that wood will rot. Over the years we’ve seen a lot of gimmick solutions that claim to prevent wood rot. We’ve seen a hard-plastic post sleeve, a plastic wrap, harsh chemical treatments. Water will find its way to the wood. It always does.
So, what happens when you have rotted wood posts in the ground as the foundation for your building? It’s not pretty and it’s not cheap. Some buildings with rotted posts can become unstable and experience shift that can damage the structural integrity of the building. Replacing the posts is time consuming and expensive. Depending on the building, it might even be more expensive to replace the posts than building new.
