Locke Buildings is inviting local contractors to partner with us in the Pacific NorthWest to provide exceptional service in the pole building industry. In our 26 years of experience we have built literally thousands of pole buildings and our expertise is well known.

 

The crews at Locke Buildings know what will work and what won’t work regarding pole buildings and requires the skill of many different crews (excavation, framers, metal workers). Locke Buildings is looking for local contractor crews to partner with us in expanding the pole building teams available in this area.

Customers purchasing one of our kits generally shop around for the best prices. Our kits use upgraded materials—no green lumber which shrinks and bows, plus all of our trim is 29 gauge making it thicker and better quality than most other kits. We also recommend our customers install plywood on the roof for a better roofing system capable of weathering storms or heavy snow and ice. For the cost, it is a valuable addition to your kit. 

Coming soon we will have an interactive manual which can be used on your phone during the DIY building process. What could be simpler? Locke Buildings makes getting a pole building as easy and painless as possible. Contact us today!

Many years ago a pole barn was an easily built, open structure to stack hay, shelter animals or store equipment. Today the term is no longer pole barn, but pole building because the structures we design at Locke Buildings are more versatile, varied and frankly more attractive. We have built thousands of pole buildings and we are VERY good at what we do. We are on the leading edge of the newest technology, building materials and up-to-date design processes.

This week we are building a horse stable for a family, in time for one of their mares to foal. Locke Buildings is partnering with Train 2 Reign and the Design Your Life high school training class for a Spring Break Work Project. These projects have been highly effective in teaching students work ethics, team work, the value of preparation and so much more.

Brianna Price, one of our Design Your Life students and her sister, Alyssa, board their horses on farms near their home. It has been the girls’ dream to have their beloved horses living, eating, playing, foaling and finding shelter on their family’s property. One of their horses is due to foal in May. This new pole building, which Brianna will be helping to build, will mean their mare will have a stall that is suitable to foal in.

Here are the Project Details: Building is 20’x36’x13’4” with a single slope roof. Three 4’x8’ and one 12’x8’ slider doors. Students will be observing, learning and involved with the following construction skills: measuring and cutting 2×6 boards, framing walls, doors, and roof. Raising the roof using a strategic pulley system, drilling screw holes in metal to prepare for installation, installing metal siding and trim, as well as installing sliding door roller kits. If you want more information about strengthening our community by giving back through Train 2 Reign, check out our website t2r.net.

Raising the Roof

This video demonstrates a new way that Locke Buildings is using on certain projects (when appropriate) to raise the roof trusses without the use of a crane, which is usually utilized. 

Talk with us to find out if this may be appropriate for your new project.

Metallion Industries Color Assistant (Color Selector)

No Comments

One of the integral components to everything Locke Buildings does involves metal siding and roofing materials.  We thought you would enjoy a link to the Metallion Color Assistant (MCA) so that you have the option to test out and view a selection of choices of colors for roofing, siding and trim.  You can also do this for Residential, Commercial and Agricultural style buildings. (use the upper right-hand corner of the MCA to chose your building style.)

  • Windows allow lots of light and create great ventilation.
