Engineered post frame storage for mowers, campers, tools, and everything an acreage accumulates, built start to finish by a local Eastern Iowa crew.

Storage Sheds Built Like Real Buildings

Storage needs a real building. Lawn equipment, campers, seasonal gear, and tools represent real money, and the thin metal kits and big box sheds that pass for storage rust, leak, and rack out of square within a few Iowa winters. A post frame shed costs more than a kit and lasts decades longer, which makes it the cheaper building over any honest timeline.


Premier Buildings constructs storage sheds with the same engineered post frame construction we put into houses: laminated columns at proper embedment depth, engineered trusses, and uplift connections rated for Eastern Iowa wind. The difference shows up every time a storm rolls through and your building does not move.


From a compact yard shed to a tall bay for a camper or boat, we build storage start to finish with our own crew. If your storage needs run to farm equipment, our machine sheds page covers the large scale version of this building.


Storage buildings are judged over decades, not at the open house. Doors that still roll smoothly, floors that have not heaved, and steel that still sheds water are what separate a building from a kit, and those outcomes are decided by construction details you cannot see from the road.

BUILT FOR IOWA

Column embedment, truss spacing, and uplift connections specified for our wind and snow loads on every shed.

A storage building earns its keep quietly, year after year. Here is what we put into ours so they can do that.

Dry Means Detailed

Proper grading, gutters, overhangs, and a vapor barrier under the roof steel keep condensation from dripping onto what you store. Dry storage is a design outcome, not luck.

Doors That Keep Working

Door openings are framed with properly sized headers and jamb columns, so overhead and sliding doors operate smoothly for decades instead of binding as the building settles.

Floors for Real Loads

Whether you choose a reinforced concrete slab or a compacted gravel floor, it is built for what you will park and stack on it, with drainage planned either way.

From The National Association Of Home Builders:

Post frame buildings transfer structural loads to the ground through engineered columns rather than relying on continuous foundations, an approach the National Frame Building Association identifies as both cost efficient and structurally robust for storage and agricultural buildings.

Compact buildings for mowers, tools, and seasonal gear, finished to complement your home.

Camper and Boat Storage

Tall sidewalls and high door clearances sized to your RV, boat, or trailer, with room to walk around it.

Open Sided Storage

Roofed bays with one or more open sides for trailers, firewood, and equipment that needs cover and airflow.

FAQs

Common Questions About Building With Premier Buildings

  • Concrete floor or gravel?

    Concrete for anything you will walk on regularly, store on shelving, or park long term; compacted gravel works fine for trailers and overflow. We quote both so you can decide with real numbers.

  • How tall do I need for my camper?

    Measure the tallest point including air conditioners and antennas, then add clearance. Most RV storage wants a 12 to 14 foot door, which means 14 to 16 foot sidewalls. We size the building around your actual rig.

  • Will it match my other buildings?

    Yes. Siding and roofing colors, roof pitch, and trim can be matched to your house or other structures so the property looks intentional.

  • Do storage sheds need permits?

    It depends on your county and the size of the building. We will confirm requirements for your address during the site visit and provide the drawings if needed.

  • Why not just buy a kit?

    Kits save money on day one and cost it back in repairs, replacements, and ruined contents. An engineered post frame shed is a permanent building with a decades long service life, and your quote will show the difference is smaller than most people expect.
