Building a pole barn in Sunfish Lake

Building in Sunfish Lake, 6 miles south of downtown St. Paul, means working within Dakota County and local rules. Post frame suits a wide range of lots, from a single garage to acreage with room for a barn.

Lots near Minnesota lakes and the Mississippi, Minnesota and St. Croix rivers can fall under shoreland rules that limit setbacks and impervious surface. City accessory-building limits on square footage, height and lot coverage usually decide a metro garage before cost does.

If you are weighing a garage, shop or barn in Sunfish Lake, call or fill out the form. Describe the lot and the builder follows up.

Most buildings need one from the city, township or county. Agricultural buildings on a working farm can be exempt from the State Building Code, but setbacks still apply.

How deep do the posts go in the Twin Cities?

Below the 42-inch frost line that applies to southern Minnesota, with a footing pad where the soil calls for one. Trusses are engineered for the ground snow load on your site, and roof pitch is chosen so snow sheds away from the doors.
