Utah, the thirteenth most extensive state in the U.S., is famous for its iconic Mighty 5 National Parks that present stunning red rock scenery and dramatic viewpoints.

The state is not all about jaw-dropping rock formation and slot canyons; it also boasts nearly 20,000 breathtaking farms that cover about staggering 11 million acres of land.

Utah portrays an urban landscape with cities like Salt Lake City. However, the state also has beautiful rural areas like Syracuse, known for its Farmer’s market.

Be it a rural or urban backdrop, Utahns love to build Utah pole barns , either for commercial or residential purposes.

Here’s how you can construct a superior quality pole barn in Utah.

Decide the Location

The major cities of the Beehive State rest on the western edge, making up 85% of Utah’s population.

While the Rocky Mountains in the north can leave you dumbstruck, the southern two-thirds of the state presents deep-river canyons.

While deciding the location, assess the soil type and weather conditions. For instance, if you plan to build a pole barn on hilly terrain, the constant wind is a crucial deciding factor.

Determine the Right Size

You might be planning to construct Utah pole barns for agricultural, residential, or equestrian purposes. Once you know your requirements and traffic patterns to manage your assets, you can decide the right dimensions of pole barns.

The Desert State ranks among the top 10 states, for apricots, and sheep production, with meat sales contributing to nearly $600 million.

So, if you work with livestock, you will surely require space for animal stalls and inventory. In such cases, you will need longer and narrower pole barns.

Ensure Adequate Ventilation

Cities like Ogden experience a humid subtropical climate, whereas areas surrounding the Great Salt Lake have high salinity, making them less damp.

Working in the livestock industry that accounts for nearly 70% of Utah’s farm cash receipts, you would know that livestock storage spaces can create excess moisture.

Hence, while constructing pole barns, your design should include large, multiple doors and windows for sufficient ventilation.

Ensure Organized Construction with Robust Design Plans and Engineering

Wasatch Front receives high snowfall and rainfall. At the same time, the sparsely populated Great Basin is predominantly arid.

Thus, when you lay pole barn design plans, assess the area topography, so that your construction design stands strong and has a longer life.

For engineering aspects, choose strong trusses that are well-connected to the solid columns of the pole barn.

Adhere to Local Building Codes

The Utah building laws state that you require the state permit for any pole barn construction, that is over 200 feet.

The permits and building codes vary at the local level, particularly with the construction purpose. For example, a pole barn as an equestrian riding arena will have laws different from those of a pole barn to stacks of hay.

Make sure you are aware of the local laws, before commencing with the construction work.

Nearly three-fourths of Utah’s farm income comes from livestock products. The state has a healthy agribusiness in cities like Ogden and Provo. And the demand for warehouse pole barns in these areas is quite high.

Adhering to the right construction tips can help you build excellent pole barns that meet your business requirements.
