Frequently Asked Questions

How are your posts different than other posts?

The base of strength for any post frame building lies in the posts. Integrity uses some of the strongest posts in the industry. Our posts are made from #2 spruce or better. They are pressed together with plates, glued and then nailed with 4" hot dip galvanized nails. When shopping for a post frame building, make sure you ask about the integrity of the posts—we know you'll find ours difficult to beat.

How deep do your posts go in the ground?

As a rule of thumb, our posts go between 4'-5' in the ground.

Am I able to design my own building?

Our buildings can be designed to meet almost any of your needs. The key to designing your project is listening to your concerns and objectives. This is the only way to ensure a plan truly matches your needs. Our experienced salespeople will work with you to make certain your design comes to life in the most efficient manner.

How much access do you need?

We need at least 15' wide clearance-all around the building. Your salesperson will help you determine space required to build.

How do you install concrete?

The advantage of a post frame building is that your building can be built with no concrete foundation. You can install a concrete floor at any time in the future without any change in design by using our standard 2' x 8' PWF bottom board.

What strapping size do you use for your walls and roof?

We use 2" x 6", 24" on centre.

What insulation do you use?

On our walls, we use R20 and R28. For our ceilings, we use R40.

What do you line your interiors with?

We use bright white coloured metal for our interiors. This bright, maintenance-free interior allows for the electrical to be surface mounted in conduit, providing easy access in the future keeping the vapour barrier uncompromised.

For an insulated building, do you vent the attic?

Yes, gable vents are usually used.

What is the typical lead-time for your buildings?

It depends on the time of year, contact your sales representative for more information.

Our buildings are engineered to handle the snowload to your local conditions across Canada.

Yes-ask your sales representative for information.

What is the smallest/largest building you erect?

Our buildings start at 24'-110' clearspan widths and unlimited lengths.
