Pole Barn Post Size Calculation Formula
The following formula is used to calculate the optimal post size for your pole barn.
Post Size = (Building Width * Building Length * Building Height) / Post Spacing
Variables:
- Post Size is the diameter of the posts needed (inches)
- Building Width is the width of the pole barn (feet)
- Building Length is the length of the pole barn (feet)
- Building Height is the height of the pole barn (feet)
- Post Spacing is the distance between each post (feet)
To calculate the post size, multiply the building dimensions and divide by the post spacing.
