Hi, I am building a Pole Barn on the side of a hill on a flat shelf and would like to know if I can gently pile dirt against the barn on half of two sides and one other whole side about 4'deep with the slope of the hill, or am I just asking for trouble? My Poles go 4' deep into Michigans Thumb's sand and clay soil. Also, is there a way to berm a Pole Barn Safely? Thanks You all'

You can if you build it properly but the cost is probably the same as having someone come in and move the dirt and prep a pad. I am in the thumb near Caro and I am in the excavating business if you could call and we could talk about it. Email me and I'll send you my no.

putting a berm against your building is not the thing to do. like the other guy said you need somebody to excavate a "pad" for the building...and you will need a swale around the building so the water drains around and away from the building

Unless you don't mind having water standing in your pole barn, you need prepare a proper building site. Haul in fill to level your site. Or have a contractor prepare a "pad" for your building.

I had the same discussion with my brother-in-law. He chose to ignore my advice and ended up with a swimming pool instead of a pole barn.
