Successful post-frame construction begins with components made for the particular demands of the building system. Anthem Built provides specialized post-frame building supplies for contractors and property owners working on column repair, foundation restoration and new construction. Our products, which can be found in any reputable building supply company Illinois trusts, address vulnerable areas of post-frame buildings while helping contractors reduce labor, limit disruption and deliver dependable results.
Anthem Built brings more than 35 years of real-world contracting experience to product development. Instead of relying on generic components or outdated repair methods, we create purpose-built products for the problems post-frame professionals encounter in the field.
Post-frame buildings depend on their columns and foundation system for strength and stability. When moisture, insects, ground contact or shifting conditions damage those areas, the effects can extend throughout the structure.
Anthem Built’s products help contractors approach those problems with solutions designed specifically for post-frame applications. Our building supplies, when found in a reputable building supply company Illinois trusts, can be used to:
Whether the project involves an agricultural building, commercial facility, workshop or post-frame home, selecting the right system begins with understanding the condition of the structure and the goal of the work.
Anthem Built develops products around the work contractors actually perform. Our systems are designed to help professionals complete repairs efficiently while delivering durable solutions for their customers.
Contractors choose Anthem Built for:
By becoming an Anthem Built installer, contractors can add specialized post-frame repair capabilities to their businesses while gaining access to the products and support needed to serve their customers confidently.
Complete column replacement can involve excavation, concrete removal, siding removal and significant disruption to the building. In qualifying situations, Anthem Built products can help contractors reinforce an existing column without removing and replacing the entire post.
Anthem Built’s patented Column Repair Sleeves reinforce wood columns affected by rot and deterioration. The sleeve strengthens the compromised area while separating the wood from surrounding soil and moisture. Sizes are available for solid, laminated and round posts, allowing the system to accommodate many common post-frame column configurations.
Column Covers complement the Repair Sleeve by enclosing the remaining exterior face of the post. Together, the sleeve and cover encapsulate the vulnerable portion of the column, reinforce the damaged area and help protect it from further moisture exposure. Anthem Built offers multiple sizes and dimensions to fit different column configurations.
When a building has a suitable, stable concrete floor, Repair Sockets can be used to anchor a repaired column to the concrete foundation. They work with Repair Sleeves and Column Covers to create a more complete column repair system. This corrugated, 10-gauge galvanized steel construction adds strength while helping streamline installation.
Anthem Built’s galvanized steel Grade Boards offer an alternative for perimeter foundation repairs and new post-frame construction. Manufactured from corrugated, 14-gauge galvanized steel, these Grade Boards are moisture-resistant and termite-proof. Unlike wood, they remain straight and true without rotting or warping.
The right post-frame building supplies depend on what the structure needs:
For localized column deterioration: Repair Sleeves and Column Covers may reinforce and protect the compromised section without complete post replacement.
For columns adjoining stable concrete: Repair Sockets can help connect the repaired column to the existing floor or foundation.
For decaying perimeter boards: Galvanized steel Grade Boards provide a moisture- and termite-resistant alternative to wood.
For new construction: Steel components can reduce vulnerable wood-to-soil contact and build additional protection into the structure from the start.
