Metal Barns Built for Central Texas Ranch Life
A Central Texas barn has to handle 90 mph gusts, hail the size of golf balls, and baking summer heat — then do it all again next season. Triple J Metal LLC builds welded red iron barns engineered for this climate: thick steel, proper anchoring, and MetalMax roofing rated for the punishment Texas delivers. We've built structures across Bell and Coryell counties for livestock, equipment storage, hay, and mixed use. Our John Deere skid-steer reaches 40 feet — we can tackle larger structures that smaller crews can't.
Welded red iron barns engineered for Central Texas weather — livestock, equipment, hay, or mixed use.
What’s Included
Welded Red Iron Framing
14-gauge or 12-gauge red iron steel, welded on-site. Permanent, storm-proof, and built to last decades without bolt connections loosening.
Any Configuration
Open-sided equipment sheds, fully-enclosed hay barns, livestock stalls, or mixed-use multi-bay structures. We design to your operation.
Skid-Steer Reaches 40 Feet
Our John Deere skid-steer with scaffold platform reaches 40 feet — enabling taller structures like tall barns and barndominium shells that most small crews can't tackle.
Concrete Slab or Gravel Floor
We pour concrete pads for equipment storage and workshops, or prep and grade gravel floors for livestock areas. Same contract.
MetalMax Agricultural Panels
PBR/PBU R-Panels are the industry standard for agricultural buildings. Galvalume® base steel with WeatherXL™ coating resists corrosion and UV damage.
GC Connections for Larger Builds
Need a barndominium or large commercial structure? We work with GCs on PlanHub and ToolBelt for projects beyond our standard scope.
Built for Central Texas
Bell County ranch properties often have caliche and clay soil that requires proper grading and drainage planning before a barn slab is poured. We've built across the Temple–Belton–Killeen–Copperas Cove corridor and know the soil conditions, flood zone considerations, and county permit requirements for agricultural structures. We use 4,000 PSI concrete for slabs and ensure proper anchor bolt placement for the local wind load requirements.

Frequently Asked Questions
Do you need permits for a farm barn in Bell County?
Agricultural structures often have different permit thresholds than residential buildings. We'll advise on what applies to your property and structure size before we start. Rural properties on ag-exempt land often have more flexibility.
Can you build livestock stalls inside a metal barn?
Yes. We can frame stall partitions using the same red iron steel as the structure. Custom stall sizing, doors, and Dutch doors all available.
What's the largest barn you can build?
Our skid-steer reaches 40 feet, enabling structures up to that height. For very large commercial or barndominium projects, we work with general contractors. Call us to discuss your specific project.
