Whether you call it a pole barn or a post-frame building, you’re about to spend a significant amount of money on its construction. A critical question remains.

Gain confidence with the permanent foundation solution meeting international building standards. The International Code Council Evaluation Service evaluated Perma-Column® and certified that the precast concrete columns and precast deck posts are compliant with the 2018 and 2015 International Building Code® (IBC) and the 2018 and 2015 International Residential Code® (IRC). This recognition means:
Perma-Column® precast foundation systems are engineered to elevate the performance of your building. They install using your builder’s current methods but dramatically extend the life and structural integrity of your building. Perma-Column® is designed to support solid posts, nail-laminated columns, or glue-laminated columns. The precast concrete columns elevate wood out of the ground via a U-shaped steel bracket that is robotically welded to steel reinforcement that runs the entire length of the column.
Perma-Column® precast concrete columns are the environmentally friendly solution for post-frame foundations. Our products are made from 100 percent recycled materials and contain no toxic chemicals. They keep treated wood out of the ground, preventing harmful chemicals from leaching into the surrounding soil. The extended service life of Perma-Column® maximizes the use of resources.
Get the most out of your investment. Perma-Column® precast concrete columns and deck posts are engineered to protect the structural integrity of your building or deck for generations—guaranteed. The lasting durability of precast concrete makes Perma-Column® a permanent solution, one that is backed by a lifetime limited warranty.
