Pole Barn Columns for Riding Arenas
Pole barn columns for riding arenas carry tall sidewalls and wide roof spans, so the part in the ground has to hold its strength. Perma-Column® precast concrete columns go in the soil in place of wood, and each wood post bolts into a steel bracket above grade.

Installation
Your builder sets the columns in augered holes with standard post-frame methods. There is no concrete truck for the posts and no cure time before framing. Use the same footing your plans call for under a wood column.
Where footing is watered often, place a barrier between the treated wood and the steel bracket and use stainless steel fasteners.
Options for wind and depth
- Uplift anchors bolt to the base of the column to resist wind uplift.
- Column extenders attach to the base when your design needs more embedment than the standard column.

Common Questions
Does it work for covered arenas with open sides? Yes. Add uplift anchors where your engineer calls for them.
Will my engineer accept it? Send them the ICC-ES report and our design guide with calculations. Both are free to download.
Can I attach kick boards and splash boards? Yes. Splash boards fasten to the concrete with drive anchors.
Can I use the same columns for an attached stall barn? Yes. The same models work for both.
