Pole buildings are an ideal option for anyone who wants the ability to customize their new space to their precise needs.
From overall building styles to a wide range of accessories, there’s practically no limit to the ways that you can personalize your pole building, and a bump out is one option that’s both stylish and functional.
If you’re looking for a way to set your pole building apart or to add a little extra space, read on to learn if a bump out is right for you.
What Exactly Is A Bump Out?
A bump out is essentially just a design choice that makes one end of the building longer than the other.
Exactly as the name implies, a portion of the end wall will “bump out” from the rest, creating a bit of variation in the surface of the pole building.
What Is The Point of A Bump Out?
There are two main reasons you might consider a bump out for your pole building: you want to give your building a unique design, or you want a little extra space in one portion of the building.
Design Impact
A bump out can add visual depth and appeal to the overall design of a building.
Rather than simply opting for a flat end wall at the front of your pole building, you can give it an immediate boost in aesthetic appeal by including a bump out, without changing anything else.
Increased Space
Beyond just looking great, a bump out can also serve a functional purpose. The owner of the pictured pole barn wanted to include a horse stall that was 4’ longer than the rest.
In order to accommodate the extra space, a bump out was necessary. As a result, there was additional room inside the building for a larger stall, and the pole barn also took on an even more unique look.
Planning The Pole Building of Your Dreams
Whether you’re more design-focused or practical, there’s a good chance that a bump out could be the perfect addition to your pole building for a simple yet impactful boost.
