Georgia Metal Buildings

Yes! Our metal buildings are durable structures engineered to provide excellent protection and withstand Georgia’s varied climate, which includes humid summers, mild winters, and the occasional harsh weather.

For heavy rain and mountain snow loads, consider 26-gauge metal sheeting and a vertical roof.

For strong winds, think about upgrading to 12-gauge framing and our certified buildings (for up to 170 mph winds).

All of Alan’s metal buildings come standard with sturdy 14-gauge galvanized steel tubing and 29-gauge roof and exterior panels.

Yes, a permit is required to install a permanent structure like a metal building in the state of Georgia. The state’s Authority Having Jurisdiction clearly states that pre-engineered metal buildings “…are still buildings and subject to the same submittal, review, approval, and code compliance requirements for the issuance of construction permits that other buildings require.”

When you purchase a metal building from Alan’s Factory Outlet, we’ll provide the standard engineer prints required for your permit application, but you’ll need to provide the site plan showing the building’s location.

Keep in mind that local building codes and regulations vary by city and county.

Property owners are responsible for securing any necessary permits for their building project before delivery & installation. However, our building specialists are on call to offer expert advice to assist with your application process.

Yes, Georgia has zoning restrictions for metal buildings. These restrictions are generally determined by local municipalities rather than the state and are part of the building permit. Depending on local regulations, even small sheds or structures may need a permit.

Check with your city or county’s planning and zoning department before ordering your building kit or custom steel building. They can inform you about setback requirements, size limitations, and any specific rules or customization options allowed for steel buildings or metal structures in your designated area.

Almost all of our steel buildings are delivered and installed within 60–90 days of purchase. The installation itself varies from a few hours for simple, open 1-car carports, to up to five days for larger structures like commercial buildings (for example, 40’x80’ or larger).

For specific lead time estimates based on previous deliveries to your area, please contact our customer service team.

Most metal buildings are designed to last for decades, even in Georgia’s challenging climate. Constructed from high-quality galvanized steel and robust metal building materials, our steel buildings offer excellent resistance to rust, corrosion, and various weather elements.

We stand by our products with a 20-year rust-through warranty on the optional 12-gauge framing and most roof paneling, alongside a 1-year craftsmanship warranty.

These pre-engineered metal buildings are built to maintain their structural integrity for many years with minimal maintenance, offering a clear advantage over wooden structures and other traditional materials.
