A recent Plain City project

A horse property needed a 36x60 split-use building — half hay storage with a high open area, half equipment shop with a slab and overhead doors. We engineered the pole frame, the truss system, the lateral bracing, and the anchor design. Permit approved on first submission.

FAQ

Questions from Plain City homeowners

Is Plain City similar to Hooper for outbuilding work?

Very similar. Both have large-lot rural-residential character and generate a lot of pole barn, shop, and outbuilding engineering. We treat them as the same kind of project.
