    Is your pole barn protected? Schedule a free inspection today

    Sponsored by FBi Buildings | Posted on

    September 15, 2025



    FBi Buildings

    As a responsible property owner, you know your post-frame building is more than just a structure—it’s a critical asset supporting your livelihood. Whether it’s protecting farm equipment, housing livestock, or serving as a dedicated space for your hobbies, its condition impacts your bottom line.

    Over time, well-built pole barns can develop subtle problems. High winds, heavy snowfall, and normal aging can take their toll without obvious signs. These minor issues can turn into major headaches and costly repairs if left unchecked.

    When severe weather strikes, will your insurance policy reflect its true value? Many policies are outdated or based on the initial post-frame construction costs, not today’s replacement values. The unexpected can leave you significantly underinsured when it matters most.

    Don’t let hidden damage or outdated coverage catch you off guard! Get peace of mind with a Post-Frame Structure Visual Inspection Report from FBi Buildings.

    Our Repair and Renovation Specialists will thoroughly assess your pole barn, providing a clear picture of its condition. This detailed report can also serve as a valuable tool for updating your insurance policy, so you have adequate coverage before a loss occurs.

    Whether your post-frame building is one year old or 25 years old, regular checkups and routine maintenance are a smart investment—and we’re making it easier by offering this one at no cost.

    Your complimentary pole barn inspection includes:
    • A comprehensive review of key post-frame building components
    • Documentation of structural concerns and immediate repairs
    • Insights to support insurance updates or maintenance planning
    • Personalized recommendations from experienced professionals

    Peace of mind starts with a closer look. Schedule your free Post-Frame Structure Visual Inspection today. Visit fbibuildings.com/inspect or call 800-552-2981 to get started.

    New and beginning farmers
    My first recommendation in your journey is to start out with a local farming friend or mentor along with joining an organization like Ohio Farm Bureau.

    Growing Tomorrow Grant
    We’re just so thankful for the Farm Bureau and the foundation for helping put this together. And of course, the Boyert family for the vision they had with this grant. It’s jumping us forward 10 years. It’s unbelievable.

    Youth pathways in Farm Bureau
    It wasn’t until I joined the Wilmington College Collegiate Farm Bureau that I truly saw how my passion could translate into leadership, advocacy and a career.

    Giving farmers a voice
    The issue of property taxation remains as one of the biggest challenges our members face today. Ensuring agricultural property is valued for its agricultural potential and not development is critical to the continued success of Ohio agriculture.

    Select Partner Program
    Through the Select Partner program, we became educated in farm insurance and weren't just selling policies. It became more and more clear why farmers need an advocate like Ohio Farm Bureau.

    Advocacy
    So many of the issues that OFBF and its members are advocating for are important to all Ohioans. I look at OFBF as an agricultural watchdog advocating for farmers and rural communities across Ohio.
