When you’ve got many families living under the same roof and sharing walls, you’re open to a host of unhappy complaints from tenants. No one wants to listen to their neighbor’s favorite television show every evening. And no one wants every word said in private to be overheard by those neighbors, either.
The short answer: it depends. Due to their economical construction, which can minimize some of the steps associated with conventional construction, such as foundations and site preparation, pole barns are used all across Illinois for everything from simple storage units and barns to work areas, cabins and homes.
Get the dampness in your pole barn under control. Metal roofs and wall sheathing easily conduct heat energy and quickly form condensation on their inside surfaces as this energy comes in contact with the naturally cooled over-night air of the barn’s interior. Learn how to control the flow of energy & lower the humidity in your pole barn.
Fall is on its way, and the chilly Illinois weather will be affecting homeowners in and around Frankfort sooner than later. While many people focus on staying warm and comfortable during the seasonal transition, it’s also worth your time to consider ways in which to increase energy efficiency. Hint: It doesn’t need to be as hard or expensive as you might think.
