Orchard Construction helped this family create a memory-making dreamland with this pair of post-frame buildings built on 95 acres in the “thumb” area of Michigan.
“They wanted a gathering space for their family and they use it for all kinds of activities,” said Steve Nikkel of Orchard Construction (Armada, Michigan). That includes snowmobiling, fishing in the newly dug pond, hunting, and family events including weddings and reunions.
The wall and roof panels are by McElroy Metal; MWI added some key elements like the cupolas, while ST Fasteners ZXL screws hold it all together.
Nikkel said Orchard Construction has been in post-frame for 35 years. This was one of the final projects for Ohio Timberland columns, whose owner has retired. Orchard now uses Rigidply for posts and trusses.
