Custom Metal Buildings Serving Petal and Forrest County
Petal is a town of about 11,000 people in Forrest County, about 340 miles from our manufacturing plant in Kilgore, Texas. Tornado warnings and heavy rain come with every storm season. Our metal buildings are made from galvanized steel with Sherwin-Williams coated panels, so what you store inside stays dry.
Each building is made to your plan, from a one-car garage to a wide-open shop, with the roll-up doors, walk-in doors and windows you need. We recommend a vertical roof for the strongest wind rating and fastest runoff. A concrete slab gives the strongest hold. Level ground with auger anchors also works on many lots.
Petal-area customers order everything from two-car garages to workshops and equipment barns. Check with the City of Petal about permit requirements before you build; we supply engineered drawings for the application. Our crews serve Petal and the surrounding communities of Hattiesburg, Ellisville, Laurel and Columbia. Most installs take a single day, and financing is available.
