Metal barn built by Bulldog Steel Structures

Every barn on this page can be resized, re-roofed, closed in or opened up, and fitted with stalls, lean-tos, windows and walk-in doors. If you don't see the size you need, a Bulldog building specialist will price it for you.

Types of Metal Barns

Barn style comes down to where you need the headroom. All five styles below are in the catalogue on this page as real, priced products.

Carolina Barns

A Carolina barn has a raised centre section with a lower lean-to roof on each side. The headroom sits in the middle, which is what you want for a tractor, an RV or hay stacked high, and the flanks give you covered storage down both sides. This is the most popular barn style we sell — sizes on this page run from 36x45 up to 54x40.

Seneca Barns

A Seneca barn reverses the Carolina roof line: the side sections are raised and the centre sits lower. That puts the clearance on the outside bays, so equipment pulls straight in under the sides rather than through the middle. Seneca barns also shed snow well, which is why they sell into the northern states.

Metal Horse Barns

Our all-vertical horse barns are built around stalls, a centre aisle and tack storage. A 50' x 25' horse barn typically takes four to six 12x12 stalls. Vertical roof and side panels shed rain and snow rather than holding it in the ridges, which matters on a building that has to stay dry year round.

All-Vertical Metal Barns

Vertical panelling on the roof and walls is the single upgrade worth paying for anywhere that gets real snow or heavy rain. Water runs straight off instead of sitting in horizontal ridges, the panels stay cleaner, and the roof lasts longer. It costs more at order and saves more over the life of the barn.

Metal Barns with a Lean-To

A lean-to is a single-slope roof section attached to the side or the end of the main building. It is the cheapest square footage you can buy — useful for implement parking, a run-in shelter for animals, or covered feed storage. Lean-tos can go on either side, either end, or both.

Carolina Barn vs Seneca Barn: Which Roof Style Should You Buy?

These two styles cover most of what we sell, and buyers confuse them constantly. The only difference is where the roof is raised.

If you are storing tall equipment, buy Carolina.

If you need drive-in access from the flanks, or you are in a heavy snow load area, buy Seneca.

Rent to Own Pole Barns and Metal Barns — No Credit Check

Yes, you can rent to own a barn from Bulldog. We work with manufacturers offering rent-to-own with no credit check, flexible payment options, affordable monthly payments and no early pay-off penalty. It is the fastest route to a barn on your property, because you are not waiting on a loan approval.

Pole Barn vs Steel Barn — What's the Difference?

A traditional pole barn is post-frame construction: wooden posts set into the ground carrying the roof. What we build is the steel equivalent — a galvanized steel frame anchored to your slab, gravel or asphalt, doing the same job without the timber. No rot, no termites, no repainting, and installation measured in days rather than weeks.

If you have been searching for rent-to-own pole barns, this is the building you are looking for: same purpose, same rent-to-own terms, longer service life.

Metal Barns in North Carolina & South Carolina

“Carolina barn” is a roof style, not a location — but we happen to be both. Bulldog Steel Structures is based in Mount Airy, North Carolina, and the Carolinas are our home market. Buyers in NC and SC get shorter lead times, and our crews already know the county permit and certification requirements without having to look them up.

We deliver and install well beyond the Carolinas. If you are outside NC or SC, check your state on our service areas page.

Coastal counties are the exception

Both states sit in a moderate wind zone, so most residential barns install without engineer-certified plans. Coastal counties are the exception. If your barn is going up east of I-95 or anywhere inside the coastal wind zone, say so at quote stage — certified plans change the bracing and the price, and it is far cheaper to build it right than to retrofit.

Customization Options for Your Metal Barn

Stalls, Tack Rooms and Interior Layout

Interior walls, stall fronts, a tack room and a feed room can all be laid out to your plan. Work backwards from the number of stalls you need rather than from a building size, then add a bay — owners almost always wish they had gone longer.

Roof Style, Colors and Doors

Choose regular, boxed eave or all-vertical roofing; pick roof, wall and trim colors separately; and place roll-up doors, walk-in doors, Dutch doors and windows where you actually need them. Try colour combinations in the Color Planner before you order, then build the whole barn in the 3D designer and send it straight to a specialist for a price.

Frequently Asked Questions

1. Can I rent to own a metal barn with no credit check?+

Yes. Bulldog works with manufacturers offering rent-to-own on barns with no credit check, flexible payment options, affordable monthly payments and no early pay-off penalty. Rent-to-own gets the building installed without a large upfront payment, which is why most barn buyers in a hurry choose it over financing.

2. Are metal barns cheaper than pole barns?+

Up front the two are usually close, but a steel barn costs less to own. A post-frame pole barn uses wooden posts set in the ground, which eventually rot and need replacing, and the building needs repainting. A galvanized steel barn has no timber in the frame, so there is no rot, no termite treatment and no repainting — and installation takes days rather than weeks.

3. Do I need a permit for a metal barn?+

Usually yes, though requirements vary by city and county. Most counties treat an enclosed barn as a permitted structure even on agricultural land, and some agricultural exemptions apply only if the building is never used commercially. Pulling the permit is the customer's responsibility, and we can provide the drawings your building department asks for. Ask your specialist whether your area requires engineer-certified plans.

4. Can a metal barn be built on gravel instead of concrete?+

Yes, and for a livestock barn gravel is often the better choice — it drains, and it is easier on animals than a concrete slab. Your gravel pad should be at least four inches deep, contained by a border, and extend slightly past the building's footprint. On gravel we anchor with auger anchors rather than the concrete wedge anchors used on a slab.

5. How many horses fit in a metal horse barn?+

A 50' x 25' horse barn typically takes four to six 12x12 stalls with a centre aisle, depending on how much space you give to tack and feed storage. Work backwards from the stalls you need rather than from the building size, and add a bay — owners almost always wish they had gone longer.

6. How long does a metal barn last?+

A properly installed and anchored steel barn will last decades with very little upkeep. Galvanized steel framing resists rust, rot and insects, so there is no repainting, no wood rot and no termite treatment. Occasional washing and a periodic check of the fasteners is essentially the entire maintenance schedule.

What Our Customers Are Saying

I'm really happy with the way my building turned out! Due to living in city limits I had to make changes to my original plan but working with Bryan made it easy. He was great to work with!

Corey Evans

Bulldog Steel Structures is fantastic. We had a 24'x40' garage built with two 10' garage doors, an entry door, two windows and fully insulated for under $16,000. The whole experience was so easy. Our salesman was Bryan Valadez. Bryan was so helpful and was easily available to answer my questions. Rebekah Aldridge handled all the documents and signing of them. The whole process was great. The building is well constructed and the crew that erected it were courteous and cleaned the worksite afterwords thoroughly. They did an excellent job in a time efficient period. Our experience with Bulldog Steel Structures was just great and we highly recommend them.

Mattie Roberts

I'm in early stages, just put deposit on building. I reviewed about 10 quotes and worked with many vendors in the space to assess. Constance from Bulldog Steel Structures made the experience fabulous and was key in our decision making. It's so refreshing to see a company like this have such outstanding client facing service. We are excited and huge shout out to Constance and the team. Bravo!

Max Escuder

I have purchased two structures/buildings from them and have been greatly satisfied. From "idea to implementation" it has gone smoothly. I love the idea of having one single point of contact (Noah) for any questions or concerns. The install crew comes in and gets right to work and the quality is the best I have seen. Highly Recommend!

Ron Barnes

I worked with Bryan Valadez in putting together my bids for a 2000 SF shop/garage. He was great to work with, very quick to respond and answered all my questions and concerns during several very thorough conversations regarding my project. I recommend you give Bulldog a shot when searching for your next building, their pricing was very good compared with some of the others, and they just seemed to have it very together for their process. Great Job, thanks Bryan. Jason

Jason Ford

Showed up on time and excellent quality. Could not be more pleased with the results!

Drew Hood

I called and spoke to Bryan. With some back and forth he helped me finalize the design (40x100 foot print). I placed my order and had to wait for my King County building permit to be issued. Once the slab was completed the installation team arrived with all the pieces. They got right to work and the building was completed in 8 days !!! I would highly recommend Bryan and Bulldog to any one :) Many thanks john in the pacific northwest

John Marcus

Great company to do business with. Would recommend them to others.

Webster Smith

Great to deal with. Building went up with no problems.

Florida Chapter POCI

I had a great experience with Bulldog Steel Buildings. The representatives were able to help me move from the online design to an actual building design to meet my goals. They set up the delivery and installation which turned out great. Installation was scheduled quickly after the foundation was done; and the building was completed within 2 days. Pricing was reasonable, and I'm very pleased with my new building.

David Grover

Bryan was great- honest, helpful, responsive and knowledgeable. I will call him if I ever need another steel building

Allan Brown

This company is the real deal. They go over and beyond to satisfy their customers. It is a joy to work with them. They are very knowledgeable and efficient. I looked forward to finishing my project with them.

David Thomas

Humberto was very responsive and it was a pleasure to work with. He went above and beyond to get delivery scheduled as soon as possible for our 30x50 building. Great company to work with.

Kelly Heckel

Hey folks - these people at Bulldog are real. Noah helped me all the way through - extremely patient and knowledgeable. He answers most often and when he doesn't it's easy to get another HUMAN to speak with. I looked at several companies for this project - I settled on the right one. If you wind up doing business with Brian - you're in luck there to. Outstanding work - worthy of trust.

Randall Drew

I purchased a 26x32 Garage from Bulldog Steel Structures they had it finished in two days. It looks really nice and the install crew was great. I’m thinking of getting another building and I will definitely contact Bryan Valadez again at Bulldog.

Kris Phillips

Great experience from start to finish. The sales process was easy and Casey helped me revise my plans several times to get the right building for my needs. Communication was excellent! The build crew was on time, friendly and professional. Beto took the time to understand what cutouts I needed and why I needed them in the sizes planned. Exceptional work. Highly recommend. Thank you!

Damon Trim

I would recommend Bulldog Steel Structures highly. They are very professional and accommodating. Want to give special thanks to Randall Hall and also matt preslar. They were very accommodating and helping me fill out paperwork and handling things when a timely basis. The building we were very satisfied with and the installers also were very polite and had things done on a timely basis. Thanks again Randall and Matt you`ve got my five star rating

Shirley M.

Bulldog has been great to work with. They explained everything from beginning to end. I live in the mountains of New Mexico and the staff made sure that my garage had the right support needed for this area of the country. I would highly recommend them for anyone building a new carport or gaeage!

Bruce J.

Good design tool on their website. Great customer service.

John S.

Have had nothing but a positive experience with Bulldog! Bryan was super helpful and still is after our install! He still responds super prompt and helpful. No complaints about our structure, as it looks amazing! Installers did a great job and picked up very nicely after they were done. Highly recommend!!

Kristie S.

I have now had my building in place for 3 months and I want to say that the whole team at Bulldog was very helpful throughout the entire process. My salesperson, Matthew, was extremely responsive. He was very helpful with the design phase, where we went back and forth with 3-4 different designs before settling on the perfect one. He always got back to me right away when I had a question. Although the delivery was delayed, understandable with the pandemic, he helped interface with Carolina Carports when I had delivery questions. So far I have no issues with the completed building. No leaks and all the doors are functioning perfectly. I would highly recommend using Bulldog for all your metal building needs.

Mike W.

Frank Rangel was very helpful and respectful. Also very understanding. I was pouring a concrete driveway and trying to put my down payment down. I may of got a little frustrated in the middle of it all. I could see the smile on Frank`s face the whole time! Thank you sir!

Jason M.

This is my second building from bulldog and I`m buying the same building , just different colors. They are great buildings that are strong and economical.

Parke H.

Excellent customer service during my order process, answered all my questions and they were very patient.

Jack D.

The website was very flexible and helped me customize my carport. The Bulldog staff was very prompt and helpful throughout the process.

Dale & Karen W.

Put up a RV cover for me on a concrete pad. Turned out great and the guys cleaned up after the work. Very satisfied. Would recommend these people.

Dan and Linda I.

I love my “She Shop.” It was amazingly easy. I sent an email, made 2 phones calls and it was done. The installation went even easier. Three guys showed up one day and finished the next. They were polite and cleaned up after themselves. My husband’s friends are all very impressed with the construction and materials used but were amazed at the reasonable price. I could not be more pleased. Thank you

DTheressa J.

I visited their website and used the 3D estimator and was able to see my building with doors, window placements, colors,and overall look. When you add or change any feature, including size, you can immediately see the result and change in price (if any). You can rotate the structure to see the overall look and framework. Once I placed my order, it was quickly and efficiently handled and the cost was lower than the estimate on the website The installers showed up early one morning and by noon the next day they had completed the structure. Everyone that comes by remarks on how nice it looks. I am very pleased with every aspect from ordering to installation.
