- Metal Building Kits
Rigid Global Buildings manufactures pre-engineered metal building kits for Louisiana contractors, developers, and property owners statewide — petrochemical and industrial facilities along the Gulf Coast corridor, agricultural operations across the Mississippi Delta and Acadiana, commercial and industrial development in Baton Rouge, New Orleans, and Shreveport, and residential and barndominium projects across rural Louisiana. Every kit ships as a complete structural package to your job site.
Because we manufacture direct, there's no dealer markup and no middleman between your project and our engineering team. You work directly with the people who design and build your kit — from first quote to final shipment.
Built for Louisiana's Climate and Conditions
Louisiana presents some of the most demanding wind and environmental conditions in the country. The Gulf Coast and coastal parishes face hurricane-force wind loads — design wind speeds in Southern Louisiana are among the highest in the continental United States. High humidity, salt air exposure, and frequent tropical storm activity accelerate wear on lesser materials. The Mississippi River Delta and coastal parishes sit at or below sea level, creating unique site and foundation considerations for every project.
Every Rigid metal building kit shipped to Louisiana is engineered to meet local building code and wind load requirements for your specific parish before it ships — so your kit arrives ready for permitting and inspection without surprises.

Agricultural Metal Buildings for Louisiana Farms and Ranches
Louisiana's agricultural economy spans sugarcane production in the southern parishes, rice and soybean farming across the Delta, cattle operations statewide, and a significant crawfish and aquaculture industry. Rigid manufactures steel building kits for every agricultural application across the state.
Commercial & Industrial Metal Buildings in Louisiana
Louisiana's Gulf Coast is one of the most significant petrochemical and refining corridors in the world. The River Road from Baton Rouge to New Orleans is home to a dense concentration of chemical plants, refineries, and LNG facilities that drive significant demand for blast resistant buildings, industrial support structures, and maintenance facilities. Port of New Orleans and Port of South Louisiana logistics operations drive warehouse and distribution demand. Shreveport and Northwest Louisiana support growing commercial and light industrial development.
Common Metal Building Sizes in Louisiana
Building size is driven by intended use, site conditions, and how the operation is likely to grow. Agricultural operations across the Delta and Acadiana typically start with 40×60 to 60×120 for equipment storage and livestock facilities. Petrochemical support and industrial facilities along the Gulf Coast corridor commonly run 50×100 to 80×200 depending on operational requirements. Commercial and warehouse projects in Baton Rouge, New Orleans, Shreveport, and Lafayette typically range from 50×100 to 60×120. Whatever the footprint, every kit is fabricated to your exact dimensions — width, length, and eave height are all project-specific.
| Size | Sq Ft | Eave Height | Common Use |
|---|---|---|---|
| 30×40 | 1,200 | 10–14 ft | Workshop, garage, small storage |
| 40×60 | 2,400 | 12–16 ft | Equipment storage, hay barn, small commercial |
| 50×80 | 4,000 | 14–18 ft | Farm shop, light industrial, flex space |
| 50×100 | 5,000 | 14–20 ft | Warehouse, distribution, industrial support |
