General information. Every project is different, so call us about yours.
For many rural lots, a pole barn is a practical way to get covered storage or a shop scaled to your budget. The right size and layout depend on what you plan to keep inside and how the land lies.[2,3]
Many people use a barndominium to combine living space and a large shop under one roof, and open acreage gives room to place it. Talk through the design, utilities and your goals before you settle on a plan.[3]
Toney is unincorporated, so it is a good idea to ask the Madison County building or permitting office what applies to your parcel. We can then help you shape a building around what you learn.[2]
Metal roofing and siding can be used on a new building or as a replacement on an existing one. A color visualizer helps you compare looks before you decide.[2]
Toney is an unincorporated community in northwestern Madison County, and it is part of the Huntsville-Decatur area. The county as a whole is known for aerospace and defense work, but its northern and western parts are described as flatter than the mountainous southeast.[2,3]
That kind of flat, open ground is what many people in places like Toney are working with. If you are planning a pole barn, a workshop, or a barndominium on a few acres, level land can make the layout questions simpler. It still depends on your project and your lot.[2,3]
Toney is an unincorporated community in northwestern Madison County, at an elevation of about 827 feet.[2]
The post office was established in 1898, and the community was named for its first postmaster, Blanche Rawls Toney.[2]
By 1899 a Nashville, Chattanooga and St. Louis railway line ran through the village, with a depot, a gin, a grist mill, a saw mill, a blacksmith shop and four stores. The train stopped running in 1929.[2]
Limestone Creek flows through the community, starting a few miles north in Lincoln County, Tennessee, and continuing into Limestone County, Alabama.[2]
Students in the area attend Madison Cross Roads, Sparkman Middle, and Sparkman High School in nearby Harvest.[2]
Madison County had 388,153 residents in the 2020 Census, second only to Jefferson County in Alabama.[3]
