Pole Barn Builders — Mora, MN

Yes — Mora is our headquarters. Sherman Buildings has operated from 2244 Highway 65 in Mora, MN 55051 since 1976, and Kanabec County is the closest work we do. We build custom post-frame pole barns, barndominiums, garages, shops, machine sheds, and livestock buildings throughout Mora, Ogilvie, Grasston, Quamba, Brook Park, and Henriette.

Kanabec County is assigned a 60 psf ground snow load under Minnesota Rules 1303.1700, which yields a 42 psf design flat-roof snow load under Minnesota Rules 1309.0301. Kanabec County is in Frost Zone I, requiring 60-inch footing depth under Minnesota Rules 1303.1600. The statewide residential design wind speed is 115 mph. Every Sherman truss package is engineered to these criteria for your specific site.

Because they are in different counties and Minnesota's frost map is drawn on county lines. Mora sits in Kanabec County — Frost Zone I, 60-inch footings, 60 psf ground snow. Cambridge and Isanti sit in Isanti County — Frost Zone II, 42-inch footings, 50 psf ground snow. Braham, on the Isanti County side, falls on the lighter side of that line. So a building in Mora needs 18 more inches of embedment and carries a heavier roof design than an identical building in Cambridge. If a quote does not reflect which side of the county line your lot is on, it was not engineered for your site.

From our Mora headquarters we cover Kanabec County (Mora, Ogilvie, Grasston, Quamba), the Mille Lacs County communities to the west (Milaca, Princeton, Onamia, Isle, Wahkon, Foreston, Pease, Bock), Braham, Cambridge, and Isanti to the south, Brook Park and Henriette to the east, and McGrath to the north. Pine County is covered in detail on our Pine County page, and the broader 200-mile service area reaches from the Twin Cities to the Iron Range and into northwest Wisconsin.

Yes. Single-story barndominiums and shouse layouts — living space and shop under one engineered roof — are a steady part of the work around Mora, Ogilvie, and Braham, typically on wooded acreage. See /barndominiums/ for layouts and /pole-barn-homes-minnesota/ for how post-frame homes are built and financed in Minnesota.

Yes, including buildings we did not originally construct. Roof repair, reroofing, reskinning, door replacement, and structural repair are all work we take on. Proximity matters for this: a repair call that would not pencil out three hours away is straightforward inside Kanabec County. See /roof-repair-reroofing-reskinning-services/.
