Construction and Materials
Graber Post Buildings specializes in post frame construction, offering durable and versatile buildings primarily designed for agricultural and commercial use. Their construction method centers around a robust post-frame design, which differs from traditional wood-frame construction by utilizing large posts set directly into the ground or on concrete piers to support the roof load. This system eliminates the need for continuous load-bearing walls, allowing for more open interior spaces and larger door openings.
The primary materials used in Graber Post Buildings are high-quality lumber for the structural components and durable metal for the exterior cladding and roofing. The posts themselves are typically treated lumber, engineered to withstand ground contact and resist decay and insect damage, ensuring long-term structural integrity.
Key materials and construction elements include:
- Structural Framing: Laminated veneer lumber (LVL) or dimension lumber for posts, beams, and rafters. These components are chosen for their strength, dimensional stability, and ability to span significant distances.
- Bracing: Diagonal bracing is incorporated into the structure to provide lateral stability and resist wind loads.
- Roofing: Corrugated or standing seam metal roofing is a standard option. This material is known for its longevity, resistance to fire and extreme weather, and low maintenance requirements.
- Siding: Metal siding, typically corrugated, is widely used for its durability, cost-effectiveness, and resistance to pests and rot. It is available in a variety of colors to suit aesthetic preferences.
- Fasteners: Heavy-duty fasteners, including screws and bolts, are used to connect structural members, ensuring a secure and robust assembly.
- Optional Components: Depending on the specific building design and customer needs, additional materials such as insulated panels, ventilation systems, and various types of doors and windows can be incorporated.
The post-frame construction method employed by Graber Post Buildings offers several advantages, including faster construction times compared to traditional methods and the ability to create buildings with large, unobstructed interiors. This makes them ideal for applications such as garages, workshops, agricultural storage, and livestock facilities.

Product Summary
Nobody understands the needs of rural builders like Metal Sales. For nearly half a century, we’ve protected barns and buildings of all sizes, in all types of fields, from all types of weather with agricultural metal roofing and siding.
When your livelihood is at risk, you need building materials that work as hard as you do. You want it to look good, but you absolutely need it to last. And you need that reliability at a reasonable cost.
Our advanced metal roof and wall panel technology offers decades of worry-free performance. No painting. No warping. No leaking. No excuses.
Construction and Materials
Metal Sales Manufacturing offers a range of barn and post-frame panels designed for durability and aesthetic appeal in agricultural and storage applications. These panels are engineered to provide robust protection and a long-lasting finish for structures such as barns, agricultural buildings, garages, and storage facilities.
The primary material used in the construction of these panels is high-quality steel. This steel is chosen for its inherent strength, resistance to deformation, and ability to withstand challenging environmental conditions. To further enhance durability and longevity, the steel is typically coated with various finishes that protect against corrosion, rust, and UV damage.
Common protective coatings and finishes include:
- Galvalume®: This aluminum-zinc alloy coating provides a superior level of corrosion resistance compared to traditional galvanization, offering enhanced protection in a wide range of environments.
- 25-Year Limited Paint Warranty Coatings: These advanced paint systems are formulated to resist fading, chalking, and peeling, ensuring the panels maintain their color and structural integrity for an extended period. These coatings are available in a variety of colors to suit different aesthetic preferences and project requirements.
The construction of the panels involves roll-forming the steel into specific profiles that offer structural benefits. These profiles are designed to:
- Provide Strength and Rigidity: The ribbed or corrugated patterns enhance the panels' ability to bear loads and resist bending or buckling.
- Facilitate Installation: The design allows for efficient and secure fastening to the post-frame structure, typically through purlins and girts.
- Ensure Weather Tightness: The interlocking or overlapping features of the panel edges are designed to prevent water and air infiltration, protecting the interior of the structure.
Metal Sales Manufacturing's barn and post-frame panels are available in various profiles and gauges of steel to meet diverse structural and budgetary needs. The specific gauge of steel (thickness) influences the panel's strength and durability, with heavier gauges offering increased robustness for more demanding applications. The selection of panel profile and material finish plays a crucial role in the overall performance and lifespan of the completed structure.
