Pole Sheds & Storage Buildings

Pole Shed Builders for Lakeville, MN

A pole shed is the simplest version of the method: posts, trusses, steel and doors, with no finishing beyond what the storage needs. People use them for an RV that has outgrown the driveway, a pontoon and trailer, a camper, a snowmobile or two, or a winter's worth of hay. Open-sided versions give shade and rain cover, enclosed ones add doors and security.

Fit is the whole question. We start with the tallest and longest item you plan to store, then add room to open doors and walk around. Clearance for an RV with a roof air conditioner is higher than most people guess. Gravel or concrete floors are both common, and the site work keeps the shed reachable and the water moving away from it.

Questions

Pole Sheds & Storage Buildings FAQs

How tall does an RV shed need to be?

Measure the RV at its highest point, including the roof air conditioner and any antenna, then add clearance for the door header. Class A coaches and fifth-wheels need more height than most pole sheds are given, so decide it before drawings.

Can I store a boat or pontoon in a pole shed?

Yes. Size it for the boat on its trailer, or the pontoon with its rails, plus room to pull in and out. Ventilation helps keep the canvas and interior dry through winter, and a concrete floor keeps moisture down.

What does a pole shed cost?

It depends on the footprint, the height, whether the sides are open or closed, the number of doors, and the floor. An open hay shed sits at one end and an enclosed insulated storage building at the other. Send the details and a builder prices that scope.

Is a permit required for a small storage shed?

Often yes, especially on larger buildings, though small accessory buildings sometimes fall under a size threshold. Setbacks apply either way, and shoreland rules limit hard surface near water. We confirm what your city or township requires.

Can I add doors or walls to an open shed later?

If the frame is designed for it from the start, yes. Open sheds carry less wind load than closed ones, so the engineering differs. Tell us now if you may enclose it, and the posts and bracing will be sized to allow it.
