Editorial verdict
Find Steel Buildings' Take
Troyer Post Buildings is a small-footprint regional builder — two published Tennessee locations and a build area covering Tennessee and Kentucky. That is the profile that tends to serve rural buyers well: the crew is local, the travel is short, and the buildings are the sizes the area actually asks for. Because the company publishes little about pricing, warranty or scheduling, the useful work for a buyer is turning the conversation into a written scope: what is included above the slab, what is included below it, and when the crew is coming.
Post-frame is the dominant rural building system in this part of Tennessee for good reason: it puts a large, dry, clear space over machinery, hay, vehicles or a workshop for less per square foot than an engineered steel frame, and it goes up in days rather than weeks. A local builder working a two-state radius is well placed to deliver that without freight and travel eating the budget.

Strengths and buyer considerations
Potential strengths
- Tight, clearly stated two-state build area — no ambiguity about coverage.
- Two published physical locations rather than a single web presence.
- Builds as well as designs, so responsibility is not split with a third party.
- Product range matched to rural Tennessee and Kentucky demand.
Things to consider
- No published pricing, warranty terms or lead times.
- Manufacturing is not claimed and is not attributed here.
- Small service area — irrelevant outside Tennessee and Kentucky.
- Foundation and permit responsibility must be agreed explicitly.
Considerations are scope questions raised by the company's published model, not customer complaints.
The bottom line
The gaps to fill are all commercial rather than technical. Ask for a written inclusion list, ask who arranges permits, ask what happens if the site is soft when the crew arrives, and ask whether sealed drawings are provided. None of those are published, which is normal for the segment — but they are where post-frame projects go wrong.

How buying from Troyer Post Buildings works
- 01Scope the buildingAgree size, height, door sizes and intended use — equipment height drives eave height.
- 02Split the site workEstablish in writing who pours concrete, grades and provides access.
- 03Handle permitsConfirm whether the builder or you submits, and what drawings the office needs.
- 04Book the buildGet the build window and weather contingency in writing.
Building systems in practice
Post-frame construction carries roof and wall loads on spaced timber columns instead of a continuous steel frame. Foundations are simpler, material cost is lower at farm sizes, and the interior is column-free enough for tractors, trailers and workshops.
The system is less suited to conditioned commercial space, very long spans, or jurisdictions that apply stricter commercial code paths. Ask early which system your use case and county point to; changing after design is expensive.

What to confirm before you buy
- Is your address inside the published Tennessee and Kentucky build area?
- Does the price include concrete, or is the building priced above the slab only?
- Are sealed drawings supplied if your county's permit office asks for them?
- What wind and snow loads is the building designed to?
- Who is responsible for site levelling and access for delivery trucks?
- What is the current lead time to a build slot?
Pricing and warranty
No published price list or warranty terms. Request separate written warranties for the steel finish and for construction workmanship.
Sizing a farm building you will not outgrow
The most common regret in rural post-frame projects is height, not floor area. Equipment with a cab, a lifted truck or a hay stack needs more clearance than a standard door provides, and raising eave height later is not practical.
Before signing, measure the tallest thing you expect to store in ten years, add working clearance, and size the door and eave to that. Extra length is cheap at design stage; extra height afterwards is a new building.
