Post-frame building posts are typically embedded in the ground.
Building posts for post-frame buildings can be made from solid-sawn lumber, or can be made from nail-laminated built-up 2x lumber, or from glue-laminated machine- planed lumber with finger-jointed end-joints.
When posts are not embedded in the ground, the building posts are attached to a concrete footer by steel brackets.
Wet-set foundation bolts or similar arrangements are used to fasten the steel brackets to the concrete foundation and fasteners are used to fasten the bottom of the posts to the brackets.

Post-frame buildings provide a great deal of flexibility for location of door openings and other wall openings.
When large openings are located in the gable endwalls, the strength of the endwalls are reduced and may need to be reinforced.
When high wind loads occur at the eave walls and roof (wind blowing perpendicular to the roof ridge), the gable endwalls receive a portion of this wind load through the roof to top-of-gable endwall connection.
This wind load is then transferred through the both gable walls down to the foundation under the gable walls.
