What makes a Metal Carports horse barn different from a wood barn?

A steel barn from MetalCarports.com is a cost-effective alternative to a traditional wood barn, trading rot, warping, and termite damage for a welded steel frame engineered to last. The structures arrive ready to install and go up in a fraction of the time it takes to plan and frame a wood barn, so your horses get shelter sooner. Because the framing is steel rather than lumber, you avoid the recurring maintenance, repainting, and board replacement that wood barns demand season after season. The result is a long-lasting, low-maintenance building that protects livestock, hay, tack, and equipment in one footprint.

Who builds these barns and where does the steel come from?

MetalCarports.com is operated by Metallum Structures, headquartered at 170 Holly Springs Road, Mount Airy, NC 27030, reachable. Every building is fabricated from prime American-sourced steel milled in the USA, then produced across a network of manufacturing facilities in Tennessee, Arkansas, North Carolina, Georgia, Texas, New Mexico, Indiana, Wisconsin, and Michigan. That regional plant footprint lets the company deliver and install across 21-plus states, reaching customers from North Carolina to Colorado. Buying direct from the manufacturer keeps the structure affordable and the supply chain short.

What barn styles and roof options can you choose?

Three roof lines anchor the lineup. The Regular Roof is the most economical, the A-Frame (boxed-eave) uses a welded frame that mimics traditional building styles, and the Vertical Roof delivers the greatest durability, strength, wind resistance, and snow-load capacity for serious weather. For open-air turnout, a Loafing Shed or run-in design gives horses a three-sided refuge from sun, wind, and rain. Lean-to extensions, ventilated or fully enclosed, add stall runs or covered work space along either side of the main building.

Certified engineering for specific wind and snow ratings is available for an additional cost when specified during purchase.

Does pricing include delivery and installation?

Yes. Delivery and professional installation are included in the quoted price, so the crew transports the building to your property and erects it as part of the purchase.

What type of steel are Metal Carports horse barns made from?
Every structure is fabricated from prime American-sourced steel that is milled in the USA. Using domestic prime steel rather than recycled or imported stock is central to the company's durability and strength claims. The steel framing is welded and engineered to outlast traditional wood barn lumber, which is prone to rot, warping, and pests.
What roof styles are available for a metal barn?
There are three roof options. The Regular Roof is the most economical choice, the A-Frame (boxed-eave) uses a welded frame that mimics traditional building styles, and the Vertical Roof is the premium option offering the greatest durability, strength, wind resistance, and snow-load capacity. For heavy weather or larger barns, the vertical roof is the recommended upgrade.
What sizes do the metal horse barns come in?
Barn widths generally range from about 15 to 48 feet, lengths from 25 to 60 feet, and eave heights from 8 up to 16 feet. Featured models include sizes such as 30x50x9, 36x40x12/9, 40x50x14, and 42x50x16/13. Because buildings are custom-configured, you can size the structure to fit anything from a small two-stall run-in to a full multi-stall stable or clear-span riding area.
Can I add stalls, lean-tos, doors, and windows to the barn?
Yes. Lean-to extensions, available ventilated or fully enclosed, can run along either side of the main building to create stall runs or covered work areas. You can also add garage doors, bay doors, walk-in side doors, and windows for ventilation and natural light. All of these options are selectable in the online 3D Builder before you order.
Is delivery and installation included in the price?
Yes, delivery and professional installation are included in the quoted price. The crew transports the building to your property and erects it as part of the purchase, so there are no separate contractor or assembly charges to arrange afterward. This is part of why a steel barn goes up so much faster than a wood-framed one.
What warranty comes with a Metal Carports building?
Each building carries a 20-year limited paint warranty plus a 90-day workmanship warranty. The workmanship coverage is backed by the company's professional installation. Together they cover both the finish on the steel and the quality of the install.
Does Metal Carports offer financing or rent-to-own?
Yes. MetalCarports.com offers a rent-to-own program along with standard financing options, so you can spread the cost into monthly payments instead of paying one lump sum. An on-site rent-to-own calculator helps you estimate monthly payments and find a plan that fits your budget. Call 877-517-4422 to discuss the options that apply to your purchase.
How is a steel barn better than a wood barn for horses?
A steel barn resists the rot, warping, termite damage, and weathering that plague wood barns, and it requires far less ongoing maintenance and repainting. It is also a cost-effective alternative that ships ready to install and goes up in a fraction of the time needed to frame a wood barn. For horse owners, that means durable, low-maintenance shelter that protects animals, hay, and tack for the long term.
Can I get an engineer-certified building for wind and snow ratings?
Yes. Certified engineering for specific wind and snow-load requirements is available for an additional cost when specified during the purchase. Certified buildings are recommended in areas with strict permitting or severe weather, and the vertical roof style provides the highest wind resistance and snow-load capacity in the lineup. Mention your local code requirements when you call so the building is engineered accordingly.
What can a metal barn be used for besides housing horses?
Beyond livestock shelter, the buildings are used for hay and feed storage, equipment and vehicle storage, workshops, indoor riding arenas, grain storage, greenhouses, and RV or boat storage. The wide clear-span designs make them flexible enough to combine several uses under one roof. Many owners pair a stable section with a workshop or garage bay in the same structure.
How customizable is a building, and can I design it myself?
Buildings are fully customizable, and MetalCarports.com provides a free online 3D Builder that lets you select size, color, doors, windows, and additional options yourself. You can visualize the configuration and pricing before placing an order. If you prefer guidance, a representative can walk you through the choices over the phone at 877-517-4422.
What colors are available for the roof, walls, and trim?
The company advertises a wide range of color options for roof, walls, and trim, which you select during the design process in the 3D Builder. Mixing a contrasting trim or roof color is a common way to match an existing home or barn. Final available shades are confirmed at the time of order.
Where are the buildings manufactured?

This regional plant network shortens shipping distances and supports installation across more than 21 states from North Carolina to Colorado.
