Pole barns in Tonka Bay

If you are building in Tonka Bay, Hennepin County, you are roughly 11 miles northeast of Waconia, close enough that a builder can walk the site with you before the drawings begin.

A steel roof sweats when warm damp air meets cold metal, so a drip-stop membrane, a vapor layer and a vented ridge go into any building where people or equipment spend winter days. Former farms along Highways 5, 7 and 12 are being split into acreage lots, so the buildings now are part equipment shed, part workshop, part hobby barn.

If Tonka Bay is where you want to build, the short quote form takes a minute, and the callback covers the lot, the permit and the schedule.
