Building a pole barn in New Ulm

New Ulm lies roughly 26 miles west of Mankato, in Brown County. Buildings out here are usually practical ones: a shop, a shed for equipment or a barn, and each begins with a look at the land and the lane.

Farm fields in this region are often tile drained, and a building site should be checked for tile lines so a footing does not land on one. Snow drifts hard on the prairie, and a lean-to attached to a taller roof collects a heavy drift that the trusses must be engineered to carry.

Questions

New Ulm pole barn FAQs

Is New Ulm close enough for you to build a shed or barn?

Yes. New Ulm is about 26 miles west of Mankato, well inside the area we serve. Send the size, the use and the address on the form, and a builder calls to talk it over.

Does a building near New Ulm need a permit?

Probably, though the details depend on the city or township and the use. Farm buildings can be exempt from the State Building Code, but Brown County setbacks and land-use permits can still apply. A builder helps sort it out.

How deep is the frost near New Ulm?

The code frost depth is 42 inches across southern Minnesota, so posts and footings go below that. The roof is also engineered for the snow load, so the building stands level and carries its weight through the winter.

Do you handle the dirt work near New Ulm?

Yes. Clearing, the pad, gravel drive, grading, drainage and utility trench are part of the job, along with the building. One scope runs from the first shovel to the last door.
