Building a pole barn in Nowthen
Out in Nowthen, 6 miles east of Elk River, the lots in Anoka County vary a lot. Some are wooded, some are open and wind-swept, and some sit near a river, so we start by asking where the building will go and what it has to hold.
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 Nowthen 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 Nowthen
Whether the property is near Pickerel Lake and Bass Lake or out on the edge of Anoka County, the quote starts the same way: size, use and where the land is.
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 Nowthen, we also quote buildings in St. Francis, Elk River, Ramsey and Oak Grove.

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 Nowthen 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.
