Building Anchors

Choose from mobile home anchors for ground or gravel, asphalt anchors for paved surfaces, or concrete anchors for maximum stability on slabs.

Livestock Safety

A metal shelter shields animals from predators and harsh weather, ensuring year-round safety and protection.

Low Maintenance

Unlike traditional wood shelters that rot and require annual maintenance, metal shelters are the preferred lifetime choice.

Better Ventilation

Promotes better airflow, reducing heat stress and moisture buildup to keep animals cool and healthy year-round.

  • Metal animal shelters are purpose-built structures constructed from high-quality metal components designed to house animals safely and securely. They offer robust, weather-resistant, and low-maintenance environments that can be tailored to the unique requirements of various animals, from livestock to companion animals.

  • Opting for a metal animal shelter comes with multiple advantages:

    • Durability: Engineered to withstand harsh weather, heavy use, and environmental challenges without deteriorating.

    • Low Maintenance: Unlike traditional materials, metal does not rot or attract pests, reducing long-term upkeep.

    • Safety: The fire-resistant nature of metal adds an extra layer of protection for your animals.

    • Quick Installation: Prefabricated designs enable rapid assembly, minimizing downtime for your operations.

  • Metal animal shelters are designed for minimal maintenance. Regular inspections should be conducted to ensure all fasteners and seals remain secure, and surfaces can be cleaned periodically to remove dirt and debris. With routine care, these structures will continue to offer a safe, durable environment for your animals for many years.

  • Metal animal shelters typically offer superior longevity and require less maintenance compared to wooden structures. Metal is resistant to rot, pests, and fire, and maintains its structural integrity over time. While wooden shelters may provide a more traditional appearance, metal alternatives deliver enhanced performance, lower long-term costs, and greater durability in extreme weather conditions.

“Building up and done in 2.5 days. Complete walk through done each day…”

“Did a great job. Worked hard. Had their own crew to assemble the building. Obvious they knew what they were doing. Building up and done in 2.5 days. Complete walk through done each day and then a final one. Very smooth process. Very happy with our decision to go with United Metal Buildings. Big shout out to Jaime Cendejas and his crew from Rock Falls Illinois. They travelled 3.5 hours to get to us in Wisconsin, truck trailer and all their supplies. Highly recommend them!”

“Very impressed with the quality of the materials...”

"I have no complaints, only praise. The crew was very efficient and polite. They asked if it was Ok to start at 6:30 AM and if it was OK to leave their trailer parked on my property overnight. I am a retired Foreman and these guys are equal or better than any crew I have ever had. Very impressed with the quality of the materials that were used on the building. Also the crew made sure that the building site was clean and free of debris when they were finished. Very impressed Thank You"
