Outbuildings & Pole Barns provide versatile, durable space solutions for everything from workshops and garages to hobby spaces and storage. At McMorris Decks & Structures, we design and build custom structures that enhance your property and support your lifestyle. Whether you need a barn for equipment, a backyard studio, or a multi-purpose shed, we deliver thoughtful design and expert craftsmanship in every build.
Built for Utah’s Climate and Your Needs
In Salt Lake County, an outbuilding has to do more than look good—it has to perform year-round. That’s why we use high-quality materials and structural techniques designed to withstand Utah’s seasonal extremes. From heavy snow loads to high summer temperatures, your pole barn or outbuilding will be built to last.
We offer a wide variety of structure types, including:
- Pole barns and agricultural buildings
- Backyard workshops and studios
- Detached garages and RV shelters
- Equipment sheds and storage barns
- Multi-use hobby or garden buildings
Each one is fully customized to match your intended use, site layout, and design preferences. We handle everything from permitting and foundation work to structural framing and finishing details.
What Is a Pole Barn?
Pole barns are a popular choice for larger outbuildings thanks to their structural efficiency and cost-effectiveness. They use post-frame construction, which means fewer load-bearing walls and greater flexibility in interior layout. We build pole barns that are clean, modern, and highly functional.
Benefits of pole barn construction include:
- Faster build times with less excavation
- Wide-open interiors with fewer support columns
- Lower material and labor costs
- Strong wind and snow resistance
- Easily customizable for future expansion
Our team will walk you through the planning process and help you choose the right size, style, and configuration for your property.
Features That Make a Difference
No two outbuildings are alike—and that’s how we like it. We build each one to suit your unique needs, whether you’re storing heavy equipment or creating a peaceful retreat just steps from your home.
Popular custom options include:
- Windows and natural lighting
- Insulation and ventilation
- Loft space or mezzanine storage
- Roll-up doors, barn doors, or sliding glass entries
- Electrical wiring and lighting
- Durable siding, roofing, and trim materials
- Wraparound custom decks or stairs and walkways
- Pergolas and gazebos for added shade or style
We’ll also help you plan for practical concerns like drainage, access paths, and utility hookups to make sure your new building fits seamlessly into your property.
Timber Frame Options for Rustic Charm
Looking for a structure with timeless beauty and unmatched durability? We also specialize in custom timber frames that bring a rustic yet refined feel to any outbuilding. Whether you want exposed beams, cathedral ceilings, or a barn-style roofline, timber construction adds both charm and structural integrity.
Timber frame outbuildings are perfect for:
- Workshop spaces
- Barns with a heritage look
- Detached guest quarters
- Entertainment or gathering spaces
We combine traditional craftsmanship with modern building practices to ensure your timber frame structure will last for decades.
Complement Your Outdoor Living Area
Our outbuildings aren’t just functional—they can also enhance the aesthetics and layout of your outdoor space. We design them to match your home’s exterior, complement your landscaping, and even tie into other features like in-deck hot tubs or garden zones.
Ideas to make your outbuilding blend beautifully:
- Add bench seating and planters around the exterior
- Create privacy with matching privacy walls or fencing
- Build a covered entry or breezeway with a pergola
- Connect to your main home or deck with stairs and railings
No matter the style, size, or use of your outbuilding, we make sure it feels like a natural extension of your property.
