- bombcar 4y agoIt’s disappointing when things are accidentally banned - pope barns and post frame are similar in some aspects but entirely different in others. Regulations should define the desired goals, not how they’re reached.
- JKCalhoun 4y agoAny idea why that is? I ask because I love post-beam, would love to see post-beam construction using modern engineered (laminate) beams.
- datavirtue 4y agoUgh. Not really. I struggle to come up with any reason at all given that it's proven technology with prior art going back many thousands of years. The entire city of Venice is built on the concept. We keep digging up long forgotten civilizations to find their post beam foundations in tact. My best guess is rot. However, if you do it right there is no risk.
