Building a pole barn in Columbus

People in Columbus ask for pole barns, garages, shops and storage for boats and campers. Each is built to the snow load and frost depth for Anoka County, with the pad, drawings and permit all part of the same job.

Hobby farms, horse property and small acreage are common from Columbus and Hugo up through Wyoming and Chisago City, so zoning for animals is worth confirming before design. North of Blaine and Lino Lakes the Anoka sand plain drains quickly, so a pad needs less drainage work than clay country, though sand still needs compaction under the footings.

Send the size, the use and the Columbus address or parcel, and a builder will call you back about your pole barn, shop or barndominium. The quote is free.

Do you build barndominiums north of the metro?
