PERMA-COLUMN SYSTEM
Pole Barn Columns for Shops and Garages
Pole barn columns for shops and garages should last as long as the building, and wood posts buried in soil do not. Perma-Column® precast concrete columns go in the ground in place of wood. Your posts bolt into a steel bracket above grade.

Common Questions
Can I install these myself? Yes. They set the same way wood posts do. You need a way to lift 165 to 345 pounds per column.
My slab is already poured. What do I use? Sturdi-Wall® brackets anchor wood posts to the top of existing concrete. We carry those too.
Do I need a different footing? No. Use the same footing you would use under a wood post.
What if my frost line is deep? Column extenders add embedment depth.
Can it fix a rotted post in my existing shop? Yes. Rotted posts can be cut off and set on new precast columns.
What about high wind areas? Uplift anchors bolt to the base of the column.
