Custom Metal Garages, Shops, and Barns in Van
Van is a town of about 3,900 people in Van Zandt County, about 45 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 Van about permit requirements before you build; we supply engineered drawings for the application. Our crews serve Van and the surrounding communities of Hideaway, Grand Saline, Mineola and Lindale. Most installs take a single day, and financing is available.
