While there are many options out there, we tried showing in this short educational video the basic five that are used on most buildings in our region (the Midwest.) Some are definitely superior to others!

No doubt a full concrete foundation such as the Perma-Columns or Wet-Set brackets from Perma-Column are the best at making sure you never have to worry about foundation post rot, but if those just aren’t in the budget, there is other great alternatives such as Post Protector sleeves to separate your post from ground contact, especially if you are building in a wet area with not a lot of drainage.

Check out the video and let us know what you think or if you have any great ideas for foundation protection. We love to hear about new methods! And Contact Us if you are wanting to get a pole barn quoted out by Milmar!
