At NOCO Buildings, we know a shed is more than a place to park your mower. Northern Colorado pole buildings are the perfect canvas for creativity—and with our custom pole barn design, the possibilities stretch as far as your imagination. Whether you’re dreaming big or planning practical, here are four inventive ways to use your residential pole building beyond storage.
4 Inventive Uses for Your Post-Frame Storage Shed

Your Own Work-From-Home Haven
Turn your post-frame shed into a quiet, focused home office. With insulation, electricity, and plenty of natural light, your commute becomes a walk through your backyard. Whether you’re Zooming into meetings or diving into design work, this space offers separation from the main house without sacrificing comfort or style.

Craft Your Heart Out
Every artist, mechanic, and maker needs a sanctuary. A pole barn design can give you the freedom to customize a workshop where your hobbies thrive. Think pegboard walls, workbenches, and room for all the tools you’ve collected. No more spreading out on the kitchen table—this is your creative command center.

Train Without the Crowds
Skip the drive, ditch the monthly fees, and create a personal gym right on your property. Whether you’re lifting weights, cycling, or unrolling the yoga mat, your residential pole building can be climate-controlled and customized to your routine. Bonus: it’s always open and never packed.

Game On
Why not make your post-frame shed the ultimate hangout? Add comfy seating, a big-screen TV, a bar setup—or even a pool table. It’s a perfect spot for watching the game with friends, hosting poker night, or just enjoying a little escape without leaving home.
