Building a pole barn in Lake Elmo

Lake Elmo sits about 9 miles east of downtown St. Paul in Washington County, and a building there starts with the lot: setbacks, accessory limits and whatever the city or township requires before a permit issues.

City accessory-building limits on square footage, height and lot coverage usually decide a metro garage before cost does. A steel roof over a heated shop sweats unless it has a drip-stop membrane, a vapor retarder and ventilation at the eaves and ridge.

Tell us what you want to put up in Lake Elmo and where, and we will line up a free quote from a builder who covers Washington County.
