Pole barns in Elkton

From Austin, Elkton is 14 miles east in Mower County. Owners there ask for equipment storage, heated shops, horse barns and the occasional barndominium, and each gets drawings that match the site.

Southern Minnesota uses a code frost depth of 42 inches, which applies across Mower, Steele and Dodge counties, so posts and footings are set below that depth to avoid heave in the winter. Flat ground drains slowly, which is why pads are built above surrounding grade and swales are cut to move water away from a building, particularly after a wet spring.

Give us the dimensions and the use for your Elkton building. A builder will confirm the details by phone and send a quote.
