Steel Buildings Built for Ottawa and Franklin County

Ottawa is a town of about 12,500 people in Franklin County, about 430 miles from our manufacturing plant in Kilgore, Texas. Hail, strong wind and winter snow all show up in a typical year. 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. We can anchor to a concrete slab, or install on level ground with auger anchors if you don’t have a pad yet.

From garages in town to shops and barns out in the county, we build for every kind of property. Check with the City of Ottawa about permit requirements before you build; we supply engineered drawings for the application. Our crews install throughout Ottawa and nearby Baldwin City, Osawatomie, Paola and Garnett. Most installs take a single day, and financing is available.
