Pole Sheds & Storage Buildings
Pole Shed Builders for the Twin Cities
Metro living means a lot of toys and not much garage. Pontoons, fish houses, campers, snowmobiles and boats pile up each season, and storage fees add up. A pole shed solves it with a simple roofed building, open on one or more sides or closed with a big door, built right on your own lot. Post frame keeps the cost of structure low because the walls are just posts and girts under steel.
Door height is the first decision. An RV or pontoon on a trailer needs 12 to 14 feet of clearance, so the sidewall must be taller than a typical garage. Open-sided sheds are fast and simple to build and ventilate well, while enclosed ones protect from weather and thieves. Check your city's accessory building rules, and ask the builder whether a lean-to on an existing shed will do.
What's included
What goes into pole sheds and storage buildings
- 01
Tall doors
Overhead or sliding doors are sized for RVs, pontoons and boats on trailers.
- 02
Open or closed walls
Open sides give airflow and quick access, while closed walls protect against weather and theft.
- 03
Gravel floor
A compacted gravel base with drainage keeps the floor firm and keeps water from pooling.
- 04
Lean-to add-on
A shed roof can extend off an existing building to cover hay, wood or a trailer.
- 05
Lighting and power
A circuit for lights, a charger or a door opener.
- 06
Anchoring
Posts are set below the frost line so winter ground movement does not shift the shed.

Questions
Pole Sheds & Storage Buildings FAQs
How tall should the doors be?
Measure the highest point of the loaded trailer, then add 12 inches or more. The builder will size the sidewall from that.
Do I need a permit for a shed?
Often yes, even for open-sided sheds, depending on size. The builder checks with your city or county.
What does a pole shed cost?
Size, wall height, doors, floor and site prep decide it. Open-sided sheds are the simplest. Request a free quote.
Can I store a fish house in it?
Yes. Size the opening for the house on its trailer, with room to swing it in.
Will snow slide off onto the doors?
Not if the pitch and overhangs are planned for it. The builder positions doors on the gable end where drifting is limited.
