Pole Barns Built for Storage and Work

Pole Barn Construction Services in DeMotte

You park equipment outside in your DeMotte yard because your garage is full, store tools in a shed that leaks, and work on projects in weather that shuts down progress. Rural and semi-rural properties in Northwest Indiana often lack dedicated space for vehicles, equipment, or workshops, and a pole barn provides that space without the cost or complexity of a traditional garage addition.

Lance & Nate's Construction handles custom pole barn construction in DeMotte designed for storage, workshops, equipment housing, or multi-use space. The buildings are constructed with durable framing methods suited for wind, snow, and seasonal weather common in Indiana. Custom sizing and layouts allow the structure to fit your property, match your intended use, and accommodate large doors for tractors, trailers, or recreational vehicles.

How Pole Barns Are Constructed

Pole barn construction in DeMotte begins with site evaluation to confirm drainage, soil bearing capacity, and setback requirements. Posts are set in the ground or on concrete footings depending on soil conditions, and horizontal girts are installed to support metal siding and roof panels. Roof trusses are built to handle snow loads typical in Indiana winters, and overhangs are added to protect entry doors and reduce water pooling near the foundation. You will see the framing go up quickly because pole construction does not require a continuous foundation or extensive excavation.

Once framing is complete, metal siding and roofing panels are installed, large sliding or overhead doors are mounted, and trim is added around openings to seal out wind and moisture. If you plan to use the pole barn as a workshop, electrical service can be run to the building, and insulation can be added to regulate temperature during summer heat and winter cold. The structure is built to withstand wind gusts, snow accumulation, and years of exposure without requiring frequent maintenance.

The construction also includes grading around the perimeter to direct water away from the building and compacting gravel or pouring concrete for the interior floor depending on your needs. If your property has uneven terrain or existing structures that affect placement, the pole barn layout is adjusted to fit your lot. The work does not include interior finishes such as drywall or cabinetry unless specified, but it does result in a durable structure ready for storage, equipment, or project work.

Lance & Nate's Construction can help you determine the right footprint based on your property and intended use.
