Custom Metal Garages, Shops, and Barns in White Oak
White Oak is a town of about 6,200 people in Gregg County, about 10 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 White Oak about permit requirements before you build; we supply engineered drawings for the application. Our crews serve White Oak and the surrounding communities of Gladewater, Longview, Kilgore and Gilmer. Most installs take a single day, and financing is available.
Local guide
What to Know Before You Build in White Oak
Local weather, permit rules and the parts of White Oak our crews cover, so you can plan with no surprises.
Weather and Climate
Nearby Longview averages about 48 inches of rain a year (NOAA 1991–2020 normals), and White Oak gets the same East Texas storms: heavy rain, high wind, hail and tornado warnings, plus 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.
Permits and Setbacks
- Check first: the City of White Oak asks you to check with City Hall before work begins to see if a permit is required. (903) 759-3936.
- Zoning: placement and setbacks are covered in the city’s zoning ordinance.
- 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.
