Custom Metal Carports for Burnet and Burnet County

Burnet is a town of about 6,400 people in Burnet County, and the county seat, about 225 miles from our manufacturing plant in Kilgore, Texas. Spring storms bring hail and high wind, and summers are long and hot. We build each carport from galvanized steel with Sherwin-Williams coated panels, so your cars, trucks and boats stay out of the weather.

Every carport is built to your measurements. Choose the width, length and leg height, then add side panels, gable ends or color-matched trim. A vertical roof sheds rain and debris fastest and carries the strongest wind rating, so it is the style we recommend here. A concrete slab is the most common base here, and concrete anchors give the strongest hold.

Check with the City of Burnet about permit requirements before you build; we supply engineered drawings for the application. Our crews serve Burnet and the surrounding communities of Marble Falls, Granite Shoals, Horseshoe Bay and Lampasas. Most installs take a single day, and financing is available.

Local guide

What to Know Before You Build in Burnet

Local weather, permit rules and the parts of Burnet our crews cover, so you can plan with no surprises.

Weather and Climate

Burnet gets typical Hill Country weather: heavy spring storms with high wind, hail and tornado warnings, plus long, humid summers that are hard on anything left outside.

Winter ice storms, like February 2021, can bring down limbs and put weight on a roof. A vertical roof sheds rain and ice best and carries the strongest wind rating.

Permits and Setbacks

  • Permits: the City of Burnet’s Development Services office handles planning, permits and inspections. Permits are typically needed for sheds over 120 square feet and other structural work.
  • How to apply: online through MGO Connect. Questions: (512) 715-3206.
  • Setbacks: placement, size and setbacks depend on your zoning and lot.
  • What to bring: a site plan and the engineered drawings we provide.
  • Outside city limits: Texas counties generally don’t issue building permits, but floodplain rules and HOA or deed restrictions can still apply. See our Texas permit guide.

Rules can change. Confirm with your city before you build.

Burnet calls itself the Bluebonnet Capital of Texas, and its motto is “Lakes, Hills, History.” Inks Lake State Park and Longhorn Cavern are close by in the Highland Lakes, and the Hill Country Flyer steam train runs here from Cedar Park on select weekends.
