What people build in Paola
Paola lets you build steel, as long as it looks like it belongs with the house.
Metal siding
Ribbed metal panel siding is allowed only if the house was built before 1997.
Finish & trim
The lower third of the front, and any side facing a street, gets trim that complements the house; no silver or high-gloss finishes.
Size
On an acre or less: 360 sq ft per 3,000 sq ft of lot, up to 900 sq ft for one building. Over an acre: up to the house ground floor.
Setbacks
Rear yard only: 5 feet on small lots, 10 feet up to an acre, 25 feet on an acre or more.
We work in tubular steel, cold-formed steel, steel truss and red iron. See what a steel building costs.
