Derksen Portable Buildings

Our company was founded by Mennonite craftsmen who established a tradition of excellence in construction and workmanship.

We have continued to grow in this same tradition with a committment to using only top quality materials in our portable buildings.

Exposed nails are ring shank and galvanized for maximum strength and no rust spots or stains.

We offer a broad range of finishes, styles, and options. If you do not find the building that fits your needs, we can often customize one according to your specifications.

All weather-exposed surfaces are pressure treated to prevent decay and termite damage.

While all dealers offer treated wood, many dealers offer additional finishes in metal, painted, or vinyl. Also, a variety of styles are available including side lofted barns and side utilities. You can mix options, add doors and windows, or relocate them, and some styles are available with extended height. Please check with your local dealer for more information.
