Post-Frame Construction’s Most Common Problem

As excellent as post-frame construction in Peoria IL is for contractors and property owners alike, one significant problem with structures remains an issue: maintaining your frame’s posts. Since the 1950s, a popular design method for a post-frame building frame is to set the columns directly in the ground. While you can expect your structure to stand tall for years, even treated wood is at risk of rotting, especially in contact with moisture, bacteria and insects found in soil. As such, even the largest, most durable post-frame structures can be compromised by wood rot.

What’s the Solution?

Thankfully, Anthem Built has the answer to deteriorating and weakened wood columns: our patented column repair system! Anthem Built produces several unique post-frame products to protect and reinforce your structure’s wood columns. Each component can be used individually or with our other post-frame products. Best of all, with our unique post-frame components, you can avoid the dangers of wood rot or replacing old columns. Products part of our column repair system include:

• Column Repair Sleeves – Our Repair Sleeves can be affixed to any size of affected column. Made from 10-gauge galvanized steel, these sleeves reinforce the column’s weakened portion and protect it from further rot.
• Column Covers – Our covers work with our Repair Sleeves to completely enclose a column. Once enclosed with a Column Cover, your wood column is no longer exposed to outside elements that influence wood rot.
• Repair Sockets – A Repair Socket anchors an existing in-place column to your structure’s concrete foundation. In doing so, the Repair Socket further strengthens your frame, ensuring your columns are connected to a sturdy base.
• Galvanized Grade Boards – Anthem Built’s Galvanized Grade Boards are similar to standard grade boards, except constructed with galvanized steel. As such, our grade boards help protect your columns’ foundations and minimize foundation settlement and column misalignment.
