Pole Sheds & Storage Buildings
Pole Shed Builders for Winona, MN
People along the Mississippi backwaters and the creeks own boats, pontoons, canoes, campers and snowmobiles, and none of it fits in a garage. A pole shed gives it all a roof and a door without the cost of a finished building. Whether you need an open-sided shelter or a closed building with locks, the idea is the same: strong posts, a steel roof, and openings that fit.
Pick the building by what it stores. A pontoon on a trailer needs a long, tall bay with wide doors. A side-by-side and a pair of sleds are happy in a smaller enclosed shed. Hay wants airflow. On sloped land, a small pad cut into the hillside can hold a surprisingly big shed, as long as the drainage and the approach are planned.

Questions
Pole Sheds & Storage Buildings FAQs
How big a shed do I need for a pontoon?
Measure the pontoon on its trailer, including the rails and any bimini frame, then add room to open the doors and walk around. A pontoon needs more height and length than most people expect, so measure before sizing.
Can I put a pole shed near the river or a backwater?
Possibly, but shoreland and floodplain rules may limit what is allowed and how close to the water it can sit. Setbacks and hard-surface limits differ by location. We check your parcel before a design is drawn.
What does a pole shed cost?
Size, height, how many sides are closed, doors and floor decide it. Open hay sheds are simple, while enclosed buildings with concrete cost more. Grading on a hillside adds to the total. Send details and a builder will quote.
Do small sheds need a permit?
Small accessory buildings sometimes fall under a size limit, but larger ones need a permit, and setbacks apply to all. Near water, shoreland rules apply. A builder will confirm what your city, township or county requires.
How do I keep a stored boat dry and mold-free?
Use an enclosed shed with a good roof, ventilation at the gable or ridge and a floor that stays dry. Concrete helps, and grading keeps water away from the walls. Avoid sealing it completely, since stale air breeds mildew.
