Options and Color charts

So many of the options you have to chose from during the design phase of your Graber Pole Building are free and included with guaranteed to the penny quote we give you. To make this selection process easier for you, Graber veterans suggest you follow the information below:

Start off with some Basic Decisions:

Select a Size

Asses how much space you'll need. If you haven't already done so, check out the wealth of information we gave you in our "How Big Should It BE" section.

The Three Most Common Sizes...
	Small	Medium	Large
Garages	24 x 24	30 x 40	40 x 60
Horse Barns	24 x 36	36 x 48	36 x 72
Arenas	60 x 100	72 x 150	90 x 250
Ag Buildings	24 x 32	40 x 60	50 x 100
Commercial Buildings	30 x 40	60 x 100	90 x 300

"We offer these sizes just to give you a frame of reference. But after you give us a call, we can give more specific recommendations about what size will work best for you," Rosita from Graber

"But don't worry if you miss something - that's part of the service we provide in the free design work we give our customers."

Select a Layout

Garages

Maybe you want just a basic space for your vehicles, or you want to include some space for a workshop or even a 2nd story.

"I usually suggest to customers to come up with 2 layouts. One is a bare bones layout, and the 2nd would be dream layout. This way, we can usually come up with something that still is in their budget, but gives them the extras they didn't think they could afford," Patrick from Graber

Horse Barns

How many horses do you have? Do you plan on adding a few more in the next 10 years? If you believe you'll add a few horses or even open your barn for boarders, It's much cheaper to add the extra space at the time of original construction, rather than paying to add on down the line

Arenas

Will you want just the riding area? Or maybe-like some past Graber Customers- include some offices and separate tack rooms.

Ag Buildings and Larger Commercial Buildings

Are you looking for a simple design that will serve just one function, or like the story of our famer from New York, will you need it do many different jobs?

Select a Roof Type

Why Graber Usually Recommends a Standing Seam Roof:

A standing seam metal roof can be fabricated on the jobsite in a few days--and last for the life of the home Metal roofing's attributes are impressive. Durable and long lasting, a metal roof requires little maintenance, can be retrofitted over many existing roofing materials, is available in a wide range of colors and styles, and is fire resistant. Standing seam metal roofs, popular in areas diverse as the hot and humid South and frigid New England, have shed their industrial roots to become an architectural statement. A standing seam roof is constructed of many interlocking panels that run vertically from the roof's ridge (the top of the roof) to the eave. The interlocking seam where two panels join together is raised above the roof's flat surface, allowing water to run off without seeping between panels. Patrick from Graber adds, "Ours is a 'Snap-Lock' system that is a 'clip less' design, and does not require a mechanical seamier." Standing seam roofs come in many shapes and sizes. In some instances, the vertical panels are cut to length at a factory and delivered to the job site. Other types are shaped and cut right on the job site using portable equipment. Other options include standing seam "shingles" that arrive prepackaged (typically in three- to five-foot lengths) and are installed in a staggered pattern for visual effect.

The best way to describe your choices is to narrow it down to these 3:

A Metal Roof with a Standing Seam and the screws concealed

A very popular option in 22 color choices with 40 year warranties.

A Standard Metal Roof with the Fasteners and Screws Showing

"This method is really the old fashioned way of putting on a metal roof where the seam or the connection stands p from the main part of the roof. And by going with a standing seam, the chances of roof leaks are greatly reduced," explains Dave from Graber.

A Roof With Shingles

Show here are Decra Metal Shingles offering a conventional-traditional look while providing all the advantages of a Metal Roof. Several colors are available in asphalt style, villa tile, or slate. Decra's warranty is up to 50 years.

Now for Some Smart Options to Customize Your Building:

Because the selection process can be overwhelming, we normally advise you start from the top of the building and work your way down. This way, you will cover all the different parts of your project," says Rosita of Graber Pole Buildings.

2nd Floor Added Space

To get even more out of your new structure, give some thought to a 2nd level that you can use for extra storage, an office, even living space.
