Custom Metal Garages, Shops, and Barns in Burnet
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. 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 is the most common base here, and concrete anchors give the strongest hold.
From garages in town to shops and barns out in the county, we build for every kind of property. 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.

About Burnet
Burnet is the county seat of Burnet County, with 6,436 people in the 2020 Census. It grew up beside Fort Croghan, a frontier post built in 1849, and was renamed in 1858 for David G. Burnet, the Republic of Texas’s first provisional president.
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. US 281 and State Highway 29 cross in town.
Our plant in Kilgore is about 225 miles away, and our own crews deliver and install in Burnet and the surrounding area.
