When it comes to adding a custom portable building to your property, the options are nearly endless. Whether you need a pole barn, a storage shed or a garage, making the right choices for size, design, materials and features ensures your investment meets your needs for years to come.

With careful planning, your custom building can be a functional, durable and attractive addition to your property.

Choose the Right Size for Your Needs

The size of your custom building is one of the most important decisions you'll make. The size you choose should depend on its intended use and future needs.

• Pole Barns: If you're building a pole barn for agricultural purposes, you’ll need enough space to store equipment, vehicles or hay bales. A larger pole barn, such as 40x60 or larger, might be ideal for farms, while smaller options work for hobbyists.
  
  
• Storage Sheds: For tools, gardening equipment or seasonal items, a modest-sized storage shed, such as 10x12 or 12x16, might suffice. Consider future growth, such as additional tools or outdoor furniture, to avoid outgrowing your space too quickly.
  
  
• Portable Buildings: These versatile structures can serve as everything from home offices and workspaces to guest rooms if you plan on adding electrical, plumbing and HVAC. Be sure to measure your available space and think about how much room you’ll need for furniture, shelving or other amenities.

Select a Design That Matches Your Style

The design of your custom building should complement your property’s aesthetic while being functional.

• Pole Barn Designs: Open-sided designs work well for equipment storage, while enclosed barns offer security and weather protection. Add a loft for extra storage or a lean-to for outdoor equipment like tractors.
  
  
• Storage Sheds: Gable roof designs are popular for their traditional look and ample overhead space, while barn-style roofs offer a rustic charm with additional vertical storage.
  
  
• Portable Buildings: Opt for modern designs with sleek lines and minimalistic features if using it as a workspace. If it’s for recreational purposes, consider a cabin-style design to create a cozy retreat.

Pick the Best Materials for Durability

It’s always important to pick the best materials for durability when adding a custom building to your property. Pressure-treated wood resists rot and insect damage while maintaining a natural, classic appearance. Aluminum is lightweight, corrosion-resistant and low-maintenance, making it perfect for siding and roofing.

Cement blocking and poured cement provides a solid, moisture-resistant foundation that stands up to the elements, while helical anchors provide deep, stable support to secure buildings in shifting soil or high winds.

Add Features That Enhance Functionality

Custom features can take your building to the next level by tailoring it to your specific needs.

• Insulation: Essential for buildings used year-round and those that will house livestock, insulation helps regulate temperature and reduce energy costs.
  
  
• Windows and Skylights: Adding natural light can make your building more inviting and practical, especially for portable buildings used as offices, workspaces or studios.
  
  
• Electrical Wiring: If you’ll need power for tools, lights or appliances, plan for electrical wiring during the design phase.
  
  
• Doors: Sliding barn doors work well for pole barns, while roll-up doors are great for garages. Include double doors for easy access if you’ll store large equipment.
  
  
• Shelving and Workbenches: Custom shelving and built-in workbenches maximize storage and make organization easier.
