Dreaming of a pole barn is exciting—figuring out how to get there shouldn’t feel complicated. At Beehive Buildings, we’ve helped families and businesses across Utah, Idaho, and Wyoming turn ideas into finished builds that stand strong through sun, snow, and everything in between. Our process is designed to be simple, transparent, and stress-free, so you can focus on the fun part: customizing your building to fit your lifestyle.
Step 1: Site visit and design
Every successful build starts with listening. We’ll visit your property, measure setbacks, and talk through how you plan to use your space—whether it’s for horses, storage, sports, or a barndominium. This is also where we look at practical considerations like slopes, access roads, and frost depth. Then, our design team creates a custom plan that balances function and style.
Step 2: Permits and planning
Permitting can feel intimidating, but we guide you through it. Requirements vary from county to county—in Idaho and Wyoming, snow load and frost protection standards are especially important, while Utah cities may have stricter zoning setbacks. We’ll provide stamped plans, answer permit questions, and help you feel confident that your project is compliant before we break ground.
Step 3: Construction and Craftsmanship
Once permits are approved, construction begins. Our crews are efficient, precise, and trained to work in every condition—whether it’s a windy Wyoming afternoon or a hot Utah summer. We use materials backed by industry-leading warranties (like 40-year metal panels) and stand behind our work with Beehive’s 10-year craftsmanship guarantee. You’ll see your vision take shape quickly, with consistent communication along the way.
Step 4: Completion and handoff
When construction wraps, we walk you through your new building to make sure every detail is right. We’ll answer questions, point out maintenance tips, and leave you with the peace of mind that comes from knowing your building is covered for decades.

Frequently Asked Questions About the Building Process
How long does it take to build a pole barn?
Most Beehive projects take just a few weeks of on-site construction once permits are approved. The biggest variable is permitting, which can take anywhere from a few days to several weeks depending on the county.
Do permit requirements differ between Utah, Idaho, and Wyoming?
Yes. Each state (and even each county) has different requirements for snow load, setbacks, and frost protection. Our team provides stamped plans and works directly with your local permitting office to make sure your build meets all codes.
What is included in Beehive’s building process?
Our process covers everything from the initial site visit to the final walkthrough. We handle design, stamped plans, and construction. Excavation, concrete, and insulation aren’t automatically included but can be coordinated as add-on services.
How do you prepare the site for a pole barn?
Site prep usually includes clearing, excavation, and leveling the building pad. In colder regions like Idaho and Wyoming, frost depth is an important factor—we’ll advise you on the right prep work for a stable foundation.
What kind of warranty do you offer?
Beehive provides an industry-leading 10-year craftsmanship warranty on all builds, along with a 40-year manufacturer’s warranty on our metal panels. That means your barn is protected long after the construction is complete.
Can I customize my pole barn’s design and features?
Absolutely. Every Beehive building is custom—from dimensions and layout to doors, windows, siding colors, and interior finishes. We’ll help you design a structure that fits your property, your lifestyle, and your budget.
