Post-Frame Building Width Guidelines

Use the column with the snow load rating in your area to determine the size FootingPad you need. If side doors larger than 8′ are used, larger footings will be needed for posts on either side of door.

Built in variables: Post spacing along side wall of 8 feet, dead load of 5 psf. If your proposed building lands in an “adjust” cell, then modify the width of your building as load capacity is too high for the largest FootingPad of 24″.
