If you own trailers, campers, ATVs, tractors, or other valuable equipment, you already know how hard Idaho’s weather can be on them. Snow loads, wind, sun, and moisture can take a toll on everything from tires to paint. A post-frame equipment storage building is one of the smartest investments you can make to protect your equipment and extend its life, while also adding value to your property.
At BCG Builders, we design and build custom pole barn buildings that give your equipment the space, protection, and accessibility it deserves.

Pole barn ,also known as post frame, construction is one of the most efficient and cost-effective ways to build large, open storage spaces. Instead of relying on continuous concrete foundations, post-frame buildings use pressure-treated posts set into the ground or mounted to piers, allowing for wider spans and fewer interior columns.
This creates wide-open interiors that are perfect for storing:
Travel trailers and fifth wheels
RVs and campers
Utility and cargo trailers
Boats and snowmobiles
Farm equipment and tractors
ATVs, UTVs, and toys
With fewer obstructions inside, you can easily drive in, park, and move equipment without worrying about tight corners or low clearance.
Year-Round Protection from Idaho’s Harsh Climate
Leaving your equipment outside may seem convenient, but it leads to expensive wear over time. A post-frame equipment storage building protects your investment from:
Snow & Ice
Heavy snow loads and freeze-thaw cycles can damage roofs, seals, and mechanical parts. A properly engineered post-frame building keeps your equipment dry and snow-free.
Sun & UV Damage
Sun exposure fades paint, cracks rubber, and weakens seals on campers and trailers. A covered building keeps everything shaded and protected.
Rain & Moisture
Moisture leads to rust, mold, and electrical issues. Enclosed post-frame buildings with proper ventilation help keep humidity under control.
Wind & Storms
Idaho windstorms can move or damage uncovered trailers and lightweight equipment. A post-frame building keeps everything secure.
Custom Designed for Your Equipment
One of the biggest advantages of a post-frame building is customization. At BCG Builders, we design every building around how you actually use it.
We can tailor your storage building with:
Extra-tall sidewalls for RVs and campers
Oversized overhead doors for easy access
Drive-through layouts for trailers
Lean-tos for additional covered parking
Insulation and interior liners
Electrical and lighting
Concrete floors or gravel bases
Whether you’re storing one camper or a whole fleet of trailers and equipment, we design the building to fit your needs now and in the future.
More Than Storage, It Is A Long-Term Investment
A post-frame equipment building isn’t just a place to park, it’s an investment that pays for itself.
Less maintenance on your trailers and equipment
Higher resale value when you sell your camper or RV
Increased property value with a permanent, usable structure
Better organization instead of cluttered yards and tarps
Many customers also choose to include a workshop bay or enclosed shop area, making their storage building even more functional.
