Building a pole barn in St. Francis

St. Francis is about 9 miles northeast 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.

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. 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.

Around St. Francis

From around Saint Francis Community Park, Lyndon Cedarblade Township Park and Norris Lake out past Mud Lake, St. Francis has room for everything from a backyard garage to a full machine shed.

Wind rolls across open fields and cleared acreage with little to slow it down, so girts, bracing and the rating on overhead doors matter more on exposed lots than in a wooded subdivision.

Close to St. Francis, we also quote buildings in Nowthen, Oak Grove, Elk River and Ramsey.

Questions

St. Francis pole barn FAQs

Do you build pole barns in St. Francis?

Yes. We serve St. Francis and the rest of Anoka County, about 9 miles northeast of Elk River. Send the size, the use and the lot details, and you get a free quote.

Who issues the building permit in St. Francis?

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 St. Francis?

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 St. Francis 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 St. Francis?

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.

Can I get a barndominium instead of a plain shop?

Yes. You can have the shell dried in and finish the inside yourself, or have it finished to move-in ready. A barndominium is a house, so it goes through the full residential permit, and a rural lot also needs a septic and well plan.
