Central Texas shops build cattle equipment, trailers and farm implements, and weld for contractors working around Fort Cavazos. Winston Materials sources the steel and aluminum those jobs take and delivers it to Waco, Temple, Killeen and the towns between. We're based in Dripping Springs with no Central Texas branch or yard. You get one contact for every metal, and most quotes are answered the same business day.
Delivery coverage in Central Texas
Our coverage follows I-35 north from Austin through Belton and Temple to Waco, and US-190 west from Belton through Harker Heights to Killeen. Farm and ranch shops on county roads outside town are covered too. Give us the address and any directions a truck driver would need.
Delivery depends on the size and weight of the order. Pipe and tube in 20- to 24-foot lengths, or a full bundle for a pen build, need the right truck and a way to unload. We lay all of that out on the quote so you know before you order.
Central Texas industries we supply
Ag and ranch equipment builders are the core of the market here: cattle guards, pens, working chutes, hay feeders, bale spears and headache racks for the farms and cattle operations across McLennan and Bell counties.
Fort Cavazos, the Army post formerly called Fort Hood, sits next to Killeen, and the contractors building and maintaining around it keep local fabrication and welding shops busy on stairs, railings, canopies and structural repairs. Trailer builders along I-35 turn out livestock, flatbed and equipment trailers for the same farm and construction customers.
Popular materials in Waco, Temple and Killeen
Square and rectangular tube and steel pipe do most of the work in ranch gear. Schedule 40 pipe in 2-inch and 2-1/2-inch nominal (2.375 and 2.875 inch OD) is a classic for corral and fence posts, and tube makes cleaner welded panels and gates.
Structural steel in A36 angle, channel and flat bar covers cattle guard frames and trailer crossmembers. Aluminum diamond tread plate goes on trailer fenders, toolboxes and steps: 3003 for a bright finish, 6061 when it has to carry more load.
