- Metal Building Kits
Rigid Global Buildings manufactures pre-engineered metal building kits for Minnesota contractors, developers, and property owners statewide — agricultural operations across the Minnesota River Valley and Red River Valley, commercial and industrial development in the Twin Cities metro, manufacturing and food processing facilities statewide, and residential and barndominium projects across rural Minnesota. 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 Minnesota's Climate and Conditions
Minnesota presents some of the most demanding cold weather building conditions in the continental United States. Northern Minnesota counties carry among the highest ground snow loads in the Midwest — Koochiching, Lake, and Cook counties require substantial roof snow load engineering. The Twin Cities metro experiences significant snow accumulation and extreme temperature swings from -30°F winters to 90°F summers that affect building systems year-round. Wind exposure across the open prairie of Western and Southern Minnesota adds additional structural demands.
Every Rigid metal building kit shipped to Minnesota is engineered to meet local building code, snow load, and wind load requirements for your specific county before it ships — so your kit arrives ready for permitting and inspection without surprises.

Agricultural Metal Buildings for Minnesota Farms and Ranches
Minnesota is one of the country's leading agricultural states — a major producer of corn, soybeans, sugar beets, dairy, and hogs. From the Red River Valley potato and sugar beet operations to dairy farms across Central Minnesota and row crop production statewide, Rigid manufactures steel building kits for every agricultural application across the state.
Commercial & Industrial Metal Buildings in Minnesota
Minnesota's Twin Cities metro is one of the largest commercial and industrial markets in the Upper Midwest. The I-94, I-35, and I-494 corridors drive significant warehouse, distribution, and manufacturing demand across the metro area. Minneapolis has become a growing data center market driven by Fortune 500 corporate headquarters, financial services, and healthcare operations. Rochester supports strong medical device and healthcare manufacturing demand anchored by Mayo Clinic. Duluth and Northern Minnesota support significant industrial and mining sector development.
Common Metal Building Sizes in Minnesota
Building size is driven by intended use, site conditions, and how the operation is likely to grow. Agricultural operations across the Minnesota River Valley and Red River Valley typically start with 40×60 to 60×120 for equipment storage, dairy facilities, and livestock buildings. Warehouse and distribution projects across the Twin Cities metro commonly run 50×100 to 80×200. 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, manufacturing |
| 60×120 | 7,200 | 16–24 ft | Large warehouse, dairy facility, riding arena |
| 80×200 | 16,000 | 20–30 ft | Large distribution center, food processing, industrial |
