Pole Sheds & Storage Buildings
Pole Shed Builders for Faribault, MN
A pole shed is the simplest answer to a common problem: you own things that need a roof, and you do not need a heated, finished building. Folks near Faribault tuck pontoons and fish houses into one, along with the camper, snowmobiles, a side-by-side and a stack of firewood. Hay people like them too, with open sides for airflow.
We build them in a range of widths and lengths, with doors on the end or the side. Taller doors help if you own a bigger rig. Open-sided or partly enclosed versions work for hay, lumber and wagons, while a fully enclosed one with a locked door protects boats and campers from weather and trouble. A gravel or concrete floor is up to you.

What goes into pole sheds
- 01
Door options
Overhead, sliding or bi-fold doors on the end wall or side wall, sized to your tallest item.

- 03
Deep floor space
A footprint sized for a boat on a trailer, with room beside it to work.
- 04
Gravel pad
Compacted rock, laid with a slight slope, so water drains and the building stays dry inside.

An attached lower roof for tractors, firewood or the lawn mower.
- 06
Basic lighting
One or two fixtures and an outlet, enough to see the hitch and charge a battery.

Questions
Pole Sheds & Storage Buildings FAQs
How much space does a pontoon or fish house need?
Measure the trailer and the boat or house at its widest and longest points, and then add several feet on each side. A pontoon sitting on a trailer can be taller than expected, so check the height for the door.
What drives the price of a storage shed?
Square footage, wall height, door size and how many sides are closed. Concrete, extra doors and site work add to it. An open-sided hay shed is usually the simplest of all.
Do I need a permit for a shed?
Most cities and townships require one once a building passes a certain size, and setbacks apply either way. Farm sheds on a working farm may be exempt from the State Building Code, but local land-use rules often still apply.
Will my stored boat get damp inside?
Steel can sweat in swings between cold nights and warm days. A membrane under the roof, vents at the ridge and a dry gravel floor reduce it a great deal.
Can I add another bay later?
Yes, if we plan for it. We can frame the end so it comes off cleanly and leave space on the pad, which makes a later bay much simpler.
