If you’re planning to build a pole barn, there are many factors to consider. From the size and layout to the materials used, every decision can impact the safety and security of your structure. And when it comes to protecting your investments stored inside, it’s essential to choose a reputable company that prioritizes safety in their designs.
At D Cross Barn Co., we understand the importance of protecting your investments. That’s why we have put together this detailed guide on designing a safe and secure pole barn. Our years of experience in building custom pole barns have taught us the best features and upgrades to ensure peace of mind for our customers.
Why Safety and Security Matters?
Pole barns are used for various purposes, such as storing equipment, housing livestock, or even as a workshop space. This means that they can hold valuable items and animals that need protection from external threats. Additionally, pole barns are often located in rural areas where there may not be constant supervision, making it more crucial to have a safe and secure structure.
Site Selection
The location of your pole barn plays a significant role in its safety and security. When choosing the site, consider factors such as accessibility, visibility, and natural barriers.
• Accessibility: Make sure the site is easily accessible for you but not for potential thieves or vandals. Avoid building close to roads, which can make it easier for burglars to access your property.
• Visibility: Select a spot that provides a clear line of sight from your house or surrounding buildings. This will help you keep an eye on your pole barn and detect any suspicious activity.
• Natural Barriers: Look for natural barriers like trees or shrubs that can add an extra layer of security to your pole barn. These barriers can also provide protection against harsh weather conditions.
Material Selection
The materials used in the construction of your pole barn are crucial in ensuring its safety and durability. At D Cross Barn Co., we only use high-quality materials that are resistant to fire, rot, and pests.
• Steel: The most common choice for pole barns is steel due to its strength and durability. It is more resistant to fire compared to wood and does not attract termites or other pests.
• Treated Wood: If you prefer a more traditional look for your pole barn, treated wood is an excellent option. However, make sure the wood is properly treated to resist rot and pests.
• Fire safety should not be overlooked when designing a pole barn. Consider installing fire-resistant materials, such as metal roofing and siding, to minimize the risk of fire damage. You can also add features like fire extinguishers and smoke detectors for added protection.
Structural Design
The structural design of your pole barn is another critical aspect that affects its safety and security. At D Cross Barn Co., we use advanced engineering techniques to ensure our pole barns are structurally sound and can withstand harsh weather conditions.
• Wind Load: Oklahoma is prone to strong winds, especially during tornado season. Our pole barns are designed to meet or exceed the wind load requirements in your area, ensuring they can withstand high wind speeds.
• Snow Load: For areas with heavy snowfall, a sturdy roof structure is crucial. We carefully consider snow load requirements when designing the roof for your pole barn to prevent any potential collapses.
Here is what sets D Cross Barn Co. apart from the rest:

Our goal is to provide our clients with a worry-free experience when it comes to their pole barn.
3D Design Model Included with Building Quote
We understand that seeing is believing, which is why we offer a 3D design model of your pole barn as part of our building quote process. This allows you to visualize the final product before construction even begins. With our advanced technology, we can create a detailed model that includes all the features and upgrades you desire, giving you a better understanding of the finished product. This helps prevent any surprises or changes during the construction process, ensuring efficiency and accuracy.
Spray Foam Insulation for Added Protection
Insulation is an essential element in any building, including pole barns. That’s why we offer spray foam insulation as an upgrade option for our clients. Spray foam insulation provides superior protection against air infiltration, moisture, and temperature fluctuations. It also acts as a sound barrier, making your pole barn more comfortable to work or live in. With our professional installation services, you can rest assured that your pole barn will be well-insulated, providing energy efficiency and added durability.

At D Cross Barn Co., we take safety seriously. That’s why we are fully insured with workman’s compensation and liability insurance.
