Metal Garages and Workshops for Columbus and Lowndes County

Columbus is the Lowndes County seat in the Golden Triangle of east Mississippi, home to Columbus Air Force Base and the Tenn-Tom Waterway. Gulf storm systems bring heavy rain, high wind and tornado warnings several times a year. Our metal buildings are built 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, insulation and color. We recommend a vertical roof for the best wind rating and fastest runoff. Concrete gives the strongest hold, but level ground with auger anchors works well on many rural lots.

Columbus-area customers order everything from two-car garages in town to workshops and equipment barns out in the county. Most cities, Columbus included, have permit rules for a new building, and our engineered drawings make the application simple. Our own crews cover Columbus, Starkville, West Point, Caledonia and Steens.
