Custom Metal Garages, Shops, and Barns in Atlanta
Atlanta is a town of about 5,400 people in Cass County, about 65 miles from our manufacturing plant in Kilgore, Texas. Severe thunderstorms and high wind roll through every spring and summer. Our metal buildings are made from galvanized steel with Sherwin-Williams coated panels, so what you store inside stays dry.
Every building is custom: choose the bay count, roll-up and walk-in doors, windows and color. We recommend a vertical roof for the best wind rating and fastest runoff. A concrete slab gives the strongest hold. Level ground with auger anchors also works on many lots.
From garages in town to shops and barns out in the county, we build for every kind of property. Check with the City of Atlanta about permit requirements before you build; we supply engineered drawings for the application. Our crews serve Atlanta and the surrounding communities of Texarkana, Marshall, Mount Pleasant and Pittsburg. Most installs take a single day, and financing is available.
Local guide
What to Know Before You Build in Atlanta
Local weather, permit rules and the parts of Atlanta our crews cover, so you can plan with no surprises.
Weather and Climate
Atlanta gets typical East Texas 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
- Inside city limits: plan on a building permit from the City of Atlanta. Cities set their own rules for carports and accessory buildings.
- 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.
- Questions: City of Atlanta, (903) 796-2192 (main line).
Rules can change. Confirm with your city before you build.
