Pole Barns in Loveland
Planning a pole barn in Loveland? We build pole barns for equipment, hay, campers and general storage across Larimer County, from our base in Ault.
Closer in, lots are tighter and city setbacks, height limits and HOA rules come into play; on the edges and out in the county there's still room for shops, RV garages, barns and barndominiums on acreage.
The quote is free: tell us the size, what the building is for and where the property is.
What's included
Pole Barns we do in Loveland
- 01
Enclosed storage barns
Fully sided pole barns with sliding or overhead doors that keep tractors, trailers, mowers and feed dry and out of the hail.
- 02
Open-sided pole barns
A metal roof on posts with one or more sides left open, for drive-through access to hay, equipment or a stock trailer.
- 03
Pole barn garages
Vehicle bays with overhead doors and a concrete slab for trucks, side-by-sides and everything that has outgrown the house garage.
- 04
Lean-tos
A lean-to along one or both eaves adds covered space for firewood, a camper or animals, framed in with a new barn or tied onto an existing one.
- 05
Posts set for Front Range ground
Footings go below the frost line the county sets and are designed for the expansive clay common here, with grading that keeps irrigation and snowmelt water away from the posts.
- 06
Metal panels and wind-rated doors
Metal roof and wall panels that hold up to hail, plus wainscot, windows, walk doors, and sliding or overhead doors rated for wind.

Pole Barns around Loveland
We build around Loveland, near Lakeside Park, Osborn Park and Loveland Museum & Gallery and out by Medical Center of the Rockies and Cherry Hill, and throughout Larimer County.
Loveland, the Sweetheart City, sits near the mouth of the Big Thompson Canyon in Larimer County. Loveland is about 21 miles southwest of our base in Ault, in Larimer County, one of the three counties we build in.
Northern Colorado asks a lot of a building: spring hail, strong winds off the foothills and across the plains, heavy wet snow, swelling clay soil along the Front Range, and cold winters followed by hot, dry summers. So every building starts with engineered plans for the site's snow and wind loads, footings designed for the soil and set below the frost line, a pad that drains, and insulation, vapor control and ventilation planned in from day one.

Questions
Pole Barns in Loveland: FAQs
Do you build pole barns in Loveland, CO?
Yes. Loveland is about 21 miles southwest of our base in Ault, in Larimer County, one of the three counties we build in. We build pole barns for equipment, hay, campers and general storage there, and the quote is free.
Do I need a permit for a pole barn in Loveland?
Usually. When one is needed, we pull it from the Loveland or Larimer County building department, depending on which side of the town limits the property is on with engineered plans and build to whatever the permit and inspections require.
What sets the price of a pole barn?
Four things, mostly: the footprint, how tall the eaves are, how many walls are closed in and what the site needs. An open-sided barn costs less than one the same size with walls, overhead doors and a slab, and heavier snow or wind loads call for bigger trusses and closer purlins. Fill out the form or call, and a local builder gets back to you with pricing for your barn.
How do you build a pole barn for Colorado wind, snow and hail?
We engineer every barn for the design snow and wind loads the county sets for that site. On open plains ground around Greeley, Fort Lupton and Brighton the wind rarely lets up for long, so bracing and wind-rated doors matter; in the foothills and in mountain towns such as Estes Park and Livermore, heavier snow and strong downslope winds call for sized trusses and closer purlins and girts. For hail, metal panels are a strong choice, and heavier-gauge panels are worth a look.
Does a pole barn need a building permit?
Most do, but it depends on the county and how the barn is used. Larimer, Weld and Adams counties and the cities each set their own rules, and some counties exempt qualifying agricultural buildings from a building permit. We check what applies to your parcel and pull the permit when one is needed.
Can a pole barn have a concrete floor?
Yes. You can leave the floor as compacted gravel for hay and equipment, or have us pour a slab for a garage, a work area or anything on wheels. We pour the slab ourselves, designed for the soil and graded to drain, and it can cover the whole barn or just the bays that need it.
