PDS Pole Barns
Plan the building around the property.
Kawartha Lakes properties often need more than a generic building package. Access, grade, soil conditions, drainage, snow exposure, equipment size and the distance to services can all affect the right design and construction plan.
PDS works with owners to define what the building must do before drawings and pricing are finalized. That can include open equipment storage, a contractor shop, vehicle space, a loft, covered porch or a future finished area that needs to be considered in the approved design.
Plan the clear space first
Start with the largest vehicle, machine or work area the barn must accommodate. Door width and height, turning room, wall height, truss profile and interior obstructions all influence whether the finished building will be convenient to use.
The footprint should also allow sensible circulation and future storage rather than filling every available square foot on day one.
Site preparation and foundation choices
The right foundation and floor preparation depend on the building, soil, grade and permit requirements. PDS can coordinate the approved approach with excavation, granular base, helical piles, embedded posts or concrete work where appropriate.
