Metal Buildings, Garages & Carports in Texas — Free Delivery & Install
From Houston Gulf Coast hurricanes to Panhandle tornadoes, DFW to San Antonio, East Texas piney woods to the Rio Grande Valley — hurricane-rated, TDI-windstorm-compliant metal garages, carports, barns, and workshops delivered and installed at no cost, with in-house financing up to $100,000 and rent-to-own with no credit check.
Custom Metal Buildings for Every Texas Property
Six categories. Infinite configurations. Every structure delivered and installed free anywhere in the Lone Star State.
Metal Garages
Enclosed 1-car to 5-car garages — hurricane-spec for Houston/Gulf Coast, tornado-rated for DFW and the Panhandle, heat-engineered for West Texas and the Valley. Keen’s sizes the wind rating and insulation for your specific Texas region.
Metal Barns
Enclosed, open, lean-to, and raised-center-aisle barns for TX ag — cattle country #1 in the US (Texas raises more beef than any state by far), cotton ag, East Texas timber, Hill Country ranching, Gulf Coast rice, RGV citrus.
Metal Buildings & Workshops
AG, Residential & Commercial-grade clear-span structures up to 60+ feet wide — the build behind Houston energy contractors, DFW aerospace (Lockheed, Bell), Austin semiconductor (Samsung/Tesla-adjacent), Permian Basin oilfield services, San Antonio defense, and Hill Country winery infrastructure.
RV Garages & Covers
Tall-clearance RV garages and open-sided covers — eaves to 16+ feet. Texas is the #1 RV state in the country. Popular at Lake Travis, Lake Conroe, Lake LBJ, Canyon Lake, Galveston, and the RGV winter-Texan snowbird RV resorts.
Barndominiums
Metal homes and live-in shops — the category that Texas essentially invented. Extremely common across Hill Country, East Texas, and suburban acreage. Engineer-stamped plans, Chapter 214 Texas Accessibility Standards where applicable, full insulation and energy-code wall assemblies.
Metal Carports
Regular, boxed-eave, and vertical-roof carports with heavy anchoring for Texas wind. Coastal counties require TDI windstorm certification (WPI-8) for 150–180 mph coastal wind zones — we provide the paperwork and engineering.
All prices include free delivery & installation in Texas. Prices do not include concrete pad.
Featured Texas-Ready Buildings
Texas delivery and installation included free, anywhere from El Paso to Texarkana to Brownsville to Dalhart.
Six Regions, One Statewide Building Partner
Texas is six states in one. Houston takes direct Gulf Coast hurricane hits (Harvey 2017, Beryl 2024). The Panhandle rivals Oklahoma for tornado frequency and sees blizzard conditions. East Texas is piney woods and humidity. The Hill Country is limestone and drought. West Texas is oil patch and dust storms. The Valley is semi-tropical and hot year-round. No single building spec covers all of it.
Engineered For The Weather Texas Actually Has
Texas has no unified statewide residential building code — cities and counties adopt the IRC individually. The 14 coastal counties that fall under TDI/TWIA jurisdiction require WPI-8 Windstorm certification for insurance eligibility, with wind-load specs up to 140–150 mph. The Panhandle has completely different considerations: high sustained wind, occasional blizzards, and the 2021 Texas freeze proved even Houston can see dangerous cold.
Keen’s engineers every Texas build to your specific region’s requirement — coastal WPI-8, tornado-corridor bracing, heat/UV resistance for West Texas and the Valley, and proper insulation assemblies for the Hill Country and DFW. Wet-stamped drawings available statewide.

Rated 4.96 / 5 Across 1,100+ Reviews
“We’re 12 miles off the Gulf near Port Aransas and needed a TDI-certified WPI-8 carport to keep our insurance. Keen’s had all the paperwork, engineered the 18×36 to 150–180 mph, and the windstorm inspector signed off first try. Rode out Tropical Storm Alberto with zero damage.”
“Our place is out in the Hill Country west of Fredericksburg. Put up a 40×60 barndominium — Keen’s delivered all the way from Florida, coordinated our concrete sub, and had us weatherproofed in six weeks. Cost 40% less than a local stick-built equivalent would have.”
“I run an oilfield services company out of Midland. Needed a 50×100 equipment shop. Three local builders wanted 12+ months and prices I’d never seen before. Keen’s had mine up in eight weeks from deposit, rated for West Texas sustained winds. Zero drama.”
Texas Permits, TDI Windstorm & Local Building Codes
Texas has no unified statewide residential building code. Cities and counties adopt the IRC independently. The coastal 14 counties fall under Texas Department of Insurance (TDI) / Texas Windstorm Insurance Association (TWIA) jurisdiction requiring WPI-8 certification for insurance.
Do I Need a Permit in TX?
Varies enormously. Major cities (Houston, Dallas, San Antonio, Austin, Fort Worth, El Paso) all require permits for accessory structures over 200 sq ft. Most suburbs follow. Unincorporated Texas counties often have no permitting at all — it’s not uncommon to build in rural TX without any permit.
TDI WPI-8 Coastal Certification
The 14 TDI-jurisdiction coastal counties (Aransas, Brazoria, Calhoun, Cameron, Chambers, Galveston, Harris east of I-45, Jefferson, Kenedy, Kleberg, Matagorda, Nueces, Refugio, San Patricio, Willacy) require WPI-8 windstorm certification for TWIA insurance. Keen’s provides all certification paperwork.
Tornado & Derecho Specs
DFW, the Panhandle, and central TX see regular tornado activity. Panhandle counties saw significant damage in 2019 and 2023 outbreaks. Keen’s offers 150–180 mph wind-rated builds with engineered anchoring.
Engineered Drawings
Wet-stamped engineered drawings by a Texas-licensed PE are required wherever permits are required, and recommended for TWIA insurance and for Hill Country / Permian exposed locations.
HOA Approval
DFW suburbs (Southlake, Prosper, Frisco, Celina), Houston MUD districts, Austin ETJ areas (Steiner Ranch, Lakeway), and San Antonio master-planned communities all have architectural review. Keen’s provides packet materials.
Setback Requirements
Varies dramatically across 254 counties. Urban setbacks 5–15 ft; rural unincorporated counties often have none. Your Keen’s specialist confirms before order.
