Holly Shores Campground | CB004
A second floor changes every decision on the first. Holly Shores Campground CB004 is a 36×73 campground office in New Jersey with a gift shop, reception, three offices, a laundry room, and two bathrooms under a 2,780 square foot second floor.
The stair opens to the gift shop, and the sheet frames a future elevator opening and loads the roof for solar panels. Read how this second-floor office building plans for both before you scope your own.
Photos of a 36×73 Campground Office
Start at the taller section on the left, where two stacked windows mark the two floors, and Heron Blue wainscoting sits under the Light Stone siding. Then follow the lower wall to the right, where a covered porch runs on its columns under the same blue roof. White trim holds every edge, so the blue and stone read as two clean bands.

Post-Frame Office Building Specifications

The 3-ply 2×6 poles sit 8 feet on center under trusses at 2 feet on center.

Frequently Asked Questions
Can a post-frame building have a second floor?
Yes. A post-frame building can carry a full second floor. This one has a 2,780-square-foot LVL deck rated for 120 lb light storage loading.
How do you plan for an elevator in a post-frame building?
Frame the opening at build time and recess the slab to the manufacturer’s spec. Here, a 4-foot-6-inch square opening is framed in the second-floor joists, size to be determined.
Do post-frame roofs support solar panels?
They can be loaded for them. These trusses carry an additional 5 lb top chord dead load for future solar panels.
What kind of porch can a post-frame office have?
A full-length sidewall porch. This office has an 8×54 porch on five white steel-capped columns, with a white vinyl ceiling and a reverse gable over the front door.
Pricing & Financing Options
On a campground office with a gift shop and a second floor, the quote follows the structure inside more than the footprint. The 2,780-square-foot LVL second floor with a glulam beam and three columns, the custom staircase, the 8×54 porch with a reverse gable, the 19×8 two-floor bumpout, the cupola, and the gift shop finish each move the number on their own. The elevator opening and recessed slab add scope too. Pioneer does not publish a price because none of those are catalog items. Tell us how each floor will be used, and we will price your version.
Financing is available through Hearth. Learn more about our Financing Options, call (888) 448-2505, or Request Your Free Quote to get started.

Final Thoughts
Decide which future changes are likely before the frame goes up. This sheet frames a 4-foot-6-inch elevator opening on the second floor, with the slab recessed to match and the size to be determined, and it loads the trusses for solar panels that are not yet installed. The trade-off is paying for framing and load you may not use right away, against cutting into a finished floor or reworking trusses later. List the changes you expect in the next ten years, then frame for the ones that are real.
