Request a QuoteSherman Buildings is a Minnesota pole barn builder headquartered in Mora, MN — roughly 55–65 miles east of St. Cloud — serving the St. Cloud area since 1976. Our central Minnesota work spans ag (machine sheds, hay/feed, dairy and livestock buildings), residential (barndominiums, pole barn homes, garages and shops), and commercial post-frame (contractor shops, storage businesses, light industrial). Every build is engineered to the specific site and backed by a 30-year limited structural warranty.
Building in the St. Cloud Area
The St. Cloud area — St. Cloud, Sauk Rapids, Sartell, Waite Park, St. Joseph, Cold Spring, Avon, Paynesville, and surrounding Stearns, Benton, Sherburne, and Morrison county communities — is a core part of Sherman’s central Minnesota service territory. The region runs an unusually broad building mix: working dairy and row-crop agriculture, a strong contractor and commercial trades footprint, and steady residential growth across the Sartell and St. Joseph corridors.
Our St. Cloud-area projects span machine sheds and hay/feed sheds for Stearns County farms, dairy and livestock buildings, barndominiums and pole barn homes on acreage, detached garages and shops for residential lots, and commercial post-frame for contractor and storage businesses. Every project is engineered to site-specific snow loads and permit-ready for the local county or township.
What We Build Around St. Cloud
Machine Sheds & Ag Buildings
Clear-span machine sheds, hay and feed sheds, livestock buildings, and grain-handling shells for Stearns, Benton, and Sherburne county farms. Eave-side door placement keeps access clear after heavy snow.
Commercial Post-Frame
Contractor shops, storage businesses, retail and service buildings, and light-industrial shells — a core part of the St. Cloud-area work mix given the region’s manufacturing and trades footprint.
Barndominiums & Pole Barn Homes
Single-story barndominiums and "shouse" layouts on acreage around Sartell, St. Joseph, Avon, Cold Spring, and Paynesville. Popular on larger parcels where combined living and shop is a strong fit.
Garages, Shops & Storage
Detached garages, heated hobby shops, and storage pole barns from 20×24 up to 60-plus feet wide — for residential lots, hobby farms, and acreage across central Minnesota.
Planning for St. Cloud-Area Sites
Central MN Ag + Residential Mix
The St. Cloud region runs ag (dairy, row-crop, hobby-farm), residential (Sartell, Sauk Rapids, St. Joseph, Cold Spring), and commercial post-frame in roughly equal measure. Our crews move between all three across a typical season.
Proximity to Mora Headquarters
St. Cloud sits roughly 55–65 miles west of our Mora, MN headquarters — a short haul for framing crews and for concrete and material deliveries. Projects across the St. Cloud area are inside Sherman’s primary scheduling zone.
County & Township Permitting
Stearns, Benton, Sherburne, and Morrison counties each have their own zoning, setback, and accessory-structure rules, and individual townships layer on additional requirements. Sherman helps guide the permit process as part of the build.
Snow & Wind Loading
Central Minnesota snow loads sit between the Twin Cities and Brainerd bands. Every Sherman truss package is engineered to the specific site — pressure-treated ground-contact columns, frost-depth footings, and site-sized trusses are standard.
Dairy & Livestock Buildings
Stearns County in particular carries a strong dairy footprint. We build bedded-pack barns, calf housing, hay and feed sheds, and associated shops and equipment storage — ventilation and interior clearances matched to the livestock use.
Site Access on Rural Lots
Long driveways, soft spring ground, and crop-schedule timing all factor into scheduling rural St. Cloud-area builds. We plan staging, concrete access, and crew routing around the growing season when it matters.
St. Cloud-Area Communities We Serve
Sherman’s St. Cloud-area coverage runs across Stearns, Benton, Sherburne, and Morrison counties — from the Sartell and Sauk Rapids residential corridors through the St. Joseph and Cold Spring small-town belt and out to the Paynesville, Richmond, and Melrose ag country. Projects outside the listed communities but still within the region are served from the Mora, MN headquarters.
