Pole Sheds & Storage Buildings
Pole Shed Builders for Elk River, MN
Elk River, Big Lake and Ramsey are full of toys that sit outside half the year. A pole shed gives them a dry, locked place to winter. Pontoons, bass boats, campers, fish houses, snowmobiles and side-by-sides all take up more room than a garage allows, and a tall door with a long floor solves it.
A pole shed can be as simple as three walls and a roof, or fully enclosed with a locking overhead door. Open-sided versions suit hay or firewood. Closed versions suit an RV that needs to stay clean. Because these buildings do not have to be insulated or heated, they go up quickly, and the extra cash can go to a taller door or a bigger footprint.
What's included
What goes into pole sheds
- 01
Tall doors
Fourteen-foot-plus doors for motorhomes and fifth wheels, sized so you are not wedging the roof air conditioner under the header.
- 02
Long, deep floor
Dimensions planned around a pontoon trailer or a fish house, plus room to walk around it.
- 03
Open or closed sides
Fully enclosed, partly open or three-sided, depending on whether it is a locked storage barn or a hay shed.
- 04
Gravel or concrete floor
Compacted gravel for simple storage or a poured slab if you will work on the vehicles inside.
- 05
Lean-to add-ons
A lower roof along one wall for the mower, ATVs or firewood.
- 06
Lights and power
A few outlets and fixtures so you can plug in a battery tender or find the hitch after dark.

Questions
Pole Sheds & Storage Buildings FAQs
How tall should the door be for an RV or camper?
Measure the highest point of the rig, including the roof air conditioner, then add at least a foot. Fourteen feet is a common door height for larger motorhomes, and a taller one costs less now than a rebuild later.
What affects the cost of a pole shed?
Footprint, wall height, the number of walls closed in and the door size. A floor, lighting and a site that needs grading add to it. Open-sided sheds are the simplest option.
Is a permit required before a storage shed goes up?
Often yes, depending on size. Cities and townships set their own limits for accessory buildings, and setbacks apply on every lot. Near the Mississippi or a lake, shoreland rules also limit hard surfaces.
Will moisture damage what I store inside?
A steel shed can sweat when warm, damp air meets a cold roof. A drip-stop membrane and ridge ventilation reduce it, and a gravel pad with good drainage keeps the floor dry.
Can I add onto it later?
Usually, yes. If you tell us you may extend the building, we can frame an end wall that comes off easily and plan the site so another bay fits without moving the drive.
