Custom Metal Barns Built for East Texas Properties
When you need dependable space for feed, equipment, livestock, or daily farm operations, a barn isn’t just another building—it’s a working part of your property. At Gotcha Covered Outdoors, we design and install custom metal barns that combine the familiar look of a traditional barn with the strength, longevity, and low maintenance of steel construction.
Whether you need an open-span barn for equipment storage, an enclosed agricultural unit with stalls and tack rooms, or a multi-purpose structure that includes workshop space, our barns are designed for efficient access, protection, and performance year-round.
Why Choose a Metal Barn?
Metal barns have become the preferred choice for many East Texas property owners—and for good reason.
Compared to traditional wood barns, steel barns offer:
Greater durability and longevity
Lower long-term maintenance
Better resistance to weather, pests, and rot
Flexible design and expansion options
Consistent structural strength
A properly designed metal barn delivers reliable performance without constant upkeep, making it a practical investment for working properties, farms, and rural landowners.
Designed Around How You Actually Use Your Barn
Every property and operation is different. Some customers need a simple, open structure for parking tractors and implements. Others need enclosed stalls, storage rooms, or workspace that supports daily routines. That’s why we don’t start with a preset package. We start with one question: What are you trying to do with your barn? From there, we design a structure that supports your workflow instead of getting in the way.
Common Uses for Metal Barns
Our metal barns are built to support a wide range of agricultural and rural uses, including equipment storage, livestock shelter, feed storage, workshops, and multi-purpose farm operations. Many customers use their barns to house tractors, implements, trailers, and tools while also incorporating enclosed areas for animals, supplies, or workspaces. Others need a dedicated structure for hay, feed, or tack storage, or a combination barn that allows for both covered parking and enclosed functionality.
If your property needs organized, weather-protected space that can handle daily use, a metal barn is often the most efficient solution.
Barn Configurations & Layout Options
A barn should fit your land and your workflow—not the other way around. We offer a wide range of layout options so your barn functions the way you need it to.
Open-Span Barns
Open-span barns are ideal for:
Equipment and tractor storage
Hay and feed storage
Easy drive-through access
Flexible, open layouts
These designs provide maximum clearance and accessibility while keeping equipment protected from sun and rain.
Enclosed Barns
Enclosed barns offer additional protection and control and are often used for:
Livestock housing
Feed and supply storage
Secure equipment storage
Cleaner, more controlled environments
Enclosures can be partial or full, depending on ventilation and access needs.
Combination Barns
Many customers choose combination barns that include:
Open bays for equipment
Enclosed rooms for feed or tack
Stall areas for livestock
Workshop or utility space
This approach allows one structure to serve multiple purposes efficiently.
Livestock & Agricultural Features
When barns are used for animals or daily agricultural work, design details matter.
Optional features may include:
Stall layouts for livestock
Tack rooms or feed rooms
Ventilation considerations
Wide access doors and roll-ups
Interior partitions
We help ensure the barn layout supports both functionality and safety, whether you’re housing animals or simply storing equipment.
Built From High-Grade Steel
Material quality is especially important for barns that see daily use.
Our metal barns are constructed using high-grade steel framing and panels designed for long-term exposure to outdoor conditions. Steel offers consistent strength, resistance to warping or rot, and a cleaner appearance over time compared to wood structures.
This makes metal barns well-suited for:
Rural properties
Agricultural environments
High-traffic equipment use
Long-term storage needs
Anchoring, Placement & Site Considerations
A barn must be properly placed and anchored to perform well over time.
Placement Planning
Before installation, we help you think through:
Access routes for equipment
Turning radius for trailers or tractors
Drainage and slope
Proximity to other structures
Room for future expansion
Good planning upfront prevents problems later.
Why Anchoring Matters
Proper anchoring:
Improves stability and wind resistance
Helps protect the structure and its contents
Supports long-term durability
Reduces movement or shifting
Anchoring requirements vary based on ground conditions, barn size, and layout. We evaluate your site to ensure the structure is installed correctly for your property.
Metal Barn vs. Pole Barn vs. Wood Barn
Many customers compare different barn types before deciding.
Metal barns offer long-term durability, lower maintenance, and flexible design.
Pole barns may cost less upfront but often require more maintenance over time.
Wood barns offer traditional appearance but are more susceptible to rot, pests, and weather damage.
For customers who want dependable performance with minimal upkeep, metal barns are often the smartest long-term choice.
Designed for East Texas Conditions
East Texas weather can be unpredictable, with heat, humidity, storms, and seasonal changes. Our barns are designed with these conditions in mind, emphasizing structural strength, proper anchoring, and layouts that allow for airflow and accessibility.
Local experience matters when designing agricultural buildings, and we build with real conditions—not generic assumptions.
Honest Guidance, Not One-Size-Fits-All
We don’t believe in pushing customers into oversized or unnecessary structures. Our approach is simple: help you understand your options and choose what actually fits your needs.
We’ll walk you through:
Size and layout considerations
Open vs. enclosed designs
Feature trade-offs
Long-term usability
The goal is a barn that works for you—not one you have to work around.
