Brainerd Area Pole Barn Builders for Expanding Workshop

Posted by Gale Freeman on August 8th, 2022

When a home workshop or business has taken over the entire basement or spilled from a guest room into other living areas, it may be time to think of creating a separate space elsewhere on the property. If enough land is available and zoning allows, Brainerd Area Pole Barn Builders can construct a post-frame building for this purpose and others. This could be constructed as a large shed with windows and sufficient heating for central Minnesota's long, harsh winters.

Online Sales

A Brainerd Pole Building can be an ideal environment for a business that requires inventory. An example would be an online retail store, such as one set up on an auction site. People commonly get started casually in selling vintage items, and those that love it begin regularly scouting yard sales, estate sales and other potential sources. Eventually, they need more room than a corner of the basement can provide. Creating listings and packing boxes is more pleasant in this spacious area with natural light as well.

Woodworking and Carpentry

People who like woodworking and carpentry projects commonly start in a basement workshop. If they begin having success selling these items, moving the shop into a Brainerd Pole Shed may be reasonable. Some of the more popular wood projects people shop for include birdhouses, benches and tool chests. When someone begins working on much larger projects, the extra space and not having to transport finished items upstairs is appealing. Hutches, sideboards and bookcases are examples.

Additional Purposes

The relatively large size of the building can make it suitable for additional purposes as well. The homeowners might use it for storage, for example. That's especially appealing if they've been paying for a commercial storage unit. Having everything back home might provide encouragement to begin sorting through the belongings. Perhaps many could be sold, donated or given to friends and family.

A home fitness center also could be set up here, providing more motivation for the household residents to get regular exercise. They can use the equipment whenever they feel like it and not have to drive anywhere. A related purpose would be setting up a dance studio with plenty of room to move.

Floor Plans

A Brainerd Pole Barn does not have to be one very large room. One of the main advantages with this type of construction is the ability to create nearly any floor plan. The business or workshop area can be sized according to the estimated need. Walls can be added to separate rooms for other purposes.
