Types of Metal Barns & Ag Buildings We Build
Every operation is different. Whether you need a simple loafing shed for a few head of cattle or a 6,000-square-foot equipment barn, we build it to your specs.
Hay Barn
Keep your hay dry and mold-free. Open sides allow airflow while the roof keeps rain and sun off your investment. Sizes from 30x40 to 60x100.
Horse Barn
Enclosed stalls, tack rooms, and feed storage. Clear-span interiors mean no interior posts to work around. Built for daily ranch use.
Livestock Shelter
Protect cattle, goats, and sheep from North Texas heat and storms. Open-front designs let herds move freely while staying covered.
Loafing Shed
Three-sided run-in shelters your animals choose on their own. Simple, affordable, and built to handle wind, rain, and summer sun.
Equipment Barn
Store tractors, implements, trailers, and ATVs out of the weather. Wide roll-up or sliding doors for easy drive-through access.
General Ag Building
Multi-purpose agricultural structures for feed storage, workshops, milking parlors, or any combination your operation needs.
Why Ranchers Choose Steel Over Wood
A wood barn might look traditional, but steel outlasts it in every way that matters on a working ranch. Here is why more North Texas ag operations are going metal.
No Rot, No Termites
Wood barns deteriorate. Steel doesn't rot, warp, or get eaten by insects. Your barn looks and performs the same decade after decade.
140 MPH Wind Certified
Engineered to handle North Texas storms. When the wind kicks up, your livestock and equipment stay protected.
Minimal Maintenance
No painting, no re-staining, no replacing boards. Steel panels with up to a 40-year rust-through warranty keep maintenance near zero.
Clear-Span Design
No interior support posts to work around. Open floor plans mean more usable space for stalls, equipment, and hay storage.
Ventilation Options
Ridge vents, gable vents, open sides, and louvers keep air moving. Critical for livestock health and hay preservation.
Fast Installation
Most ag buildings go up in 1-3 days. Your operation doesn't stop while we build — minimal disruption to daily ranch work.
Common Agricultural Building Sizes
Not sure what size you need? Here are the most popular configurations for North Texas farms and ranches. Every building is custom — we can adjust dimensions to fit your property.
Small hay barn, 3-4 horse stalls, equipment storage for a hobby farm. Big enough to be useful, small enough to keep costs down.
Working ranch barn with stalls, tack room, and feed storage. Room for a couple of tractors and implements on one side.
Full livestock operation or large equipment barn. Enough room for hay storage, machinery, and workspace under one roof.
Commercial ag building for serious operations. Indoor arena, large-scale hay storage, or multi-use ag facility with room to grow.

Frequently Asked Questions About Metal Barns & Ag Buildings
How much does a metal barn cost in North Texas?
Metal barn pricing depends on size, style, and features. A basic loafing shed starts around $3,500. A 30x40 enclosed barn typically runs $8,000–$15,000. Larger ag buildings (40x60 and up) range from $15,000–$40,000+. Every barn includes free delivery and professional installation within our service area. Call for a free quote specific to your setup.
Do I need a concrete slab for an agricultural building?
Not always. Loafing sheds, hay barns, and open livestock shelters install fine on compacted gravel or level ground with ground anchors. For enclosed horse barns with stalls, equipment storage with heavy machinery, or any building where you want a finished floor, we recommend a concrete slab. We can connect you with local concrete contractors who work with rural properties.
Do I need a building permit for a metal barn in a rural area?
It depends on your county. Many rural North Texas counties (Wise, Cooke, Archer, Clay, Young) have minimal or no permitting requirements for agricultural structures. Denton and Collin counties typically require permits for structures over a certain size. We recommend checking with your county building department before ordering. We can help guide you through the process.
How long does it take to get a metal barn delivered and installed?
Lead times typically run 4–8 weeks from order to installation, depending on size and current demand. The actual installation takes 1–3 days for most agricultural buildings. Larger commercial ag structures may take a few days longer. We handle all delivery and installation at no extra charge.
Can I add onto my metal barn later?
Yes. Our steel barns are engineered to support lean-to additions, side enclosures, and extensions. Many ranchers start with a basic structure and add stalls, tack rooms, or covered work areas over time. It is a practical way to build out your operation as your needs grow.
What is the difference between a loafing shed and a run-in shed?
They are essentially the same thing — a three-sided, open-front shelter that livestock can enter and exit freely. 'Loafing shed' is the more common term in Texas. These structures provide shade in summer and wind protection in winter without confining your animals.
What site preparation do I need before installation?
The site needs to be level and clear of debris, brush, and standing water. For ground-anchor installations, we need firm soil or compacted gravel. For concrete slab installations, the pad should be poured and cured before our crew arrives. We will walk you through exact prep requirements when you order.
Are your metal barns strong enough for North Texas weather?
Absolutely. Every barn we install is 140 MPH wind certified and built with commercial-grade galvanized steel. Panels carry up to a 40-year rust-through warranty and a 20-year paint warranty. These structures are engineered specifically for the wind, heat, and storm conditions in North Texas.
