Building a pole barn in Andover
Andover is about 12 miles southeast of Elk River in Anoka County, and the buildings people want there range from boat sheds to heated shops. Whatever the lot looks like, the job is the same: a plan, a permit, a pad and a building that stands up to the snow. Andover is an Anoka County city on the north edge of the metro, with big lots and acreage.
Much of the ground north of the metro is pale, well-drained sand left by the old Anoka sand plain, which sheds water quickly but still freezes solid, so posts have to reach well below the frost line. Minnesota's code frost depth is 42 inches across the southern zone, and that covers Sherburne, Anoka, Wright and Hennepin counties, while Mille Lacs County to the north falls in the 60-inch zone.
Send us the details for your Andover property, including how big the building should be and what goes inside it. A builder calls back with a free quote, and there is no obligation.

Around Andover
Andover sits in Anoka County, with Anoka, Ramsey and Champlin close by.
Along the Mississippi and the Rum River, shoreland rules set setbacks and limits on hard surfaces, so a pad near the water may need to sit farther back than the building wants.
Close to Andover, we also quote buildings in Anoka, Ramsey, Champlin and Oak Grove.

Questions
Andover pole barn FAQs
Do you build pole barns in Andover?
Yes. We serve Andover and the rest of Anoka County, about 12 miles southeast of Elk River. Send the size, the use and the lot details, and you get a free quote.
Who issues the building permit in Andover?
It depends on the parcel. Some lots are under a city building department and others fall to a township or Anoka County for zoning. We check which office applies and prepare the permit paperwork.
How deep do the posts go in Andover?
Below the frost line, and the exact depth is set by the engineered plans for your lot and snow load. The state's code frost depth is 42 inches in the southern zone and 60 inches in the northern zone.
Can you handle the site prep on my Andover lot?
Yes. Clearing, a level pad, gravel for the drive, grading and drainage, and a utility trench are all part of the job, so the lot is ready when the building is.
How do I get a pole barn quote in Andover?
Fill out the form or call (763) 260-8118. Say how big, what the building is for and where the property is, and a builder calls you back with a free quote.
Who handles the permit, the city or the county?
It depends on the parcel. Cities like Elk River, Ramsey and Otsego issue their own building permits, while some townships leave zoning to the county. A farm building on a working farm can be exempt from the State Building Code, but setbacks and land-use rules still apply. We sort out which office applies when we draw it up.
