Delta-X can help you prepare a place for your new barn or post-frame building. One of the first steps in building a barn or post-frame building is planning for where the building will go, and how water will be directed away from it. Many problems resulting from water can be prevented by careful planning at the onset of a project.
Our goals in developing a site for your barn are to clear the area of organic material, establish a grade for the building that allows water to flow away from it, and to provide access for builder’s equipment to work around the building.
Sometimes a barn or post-frame building is built on a slope, and then the inside is filled to create a level floor. Other times the ground is leveled first, and then the barn is built on that level ground. In this case, the ground was leveled first. Most of the barn site was low and needed to be filled. The area was filled with compactable gravel, leveled, and grading was done around the perimeter to direct water away from the building.
