Black Bayou Metals

Black Bayou Metals is a steel supplier and shell builder based at 1550 E. Oak Street in Jena, Louisiana, established in 2021. The company operates as a residential and industrial steel distributor first, stocking sheet metal, iron, steel, lumber, metal building kits, and chain-link fencing with accessories, all available for warehouse shopping at the Jena location.

For barndominium projects, that supply operation feeds directly into the company's construction side. Black Bayou Metals sells barndominium kits and metal building packages, offers custom design and metal fabrication in house, and is a licensed contractor, which lets clients buy materials and hire the builder from the same counter. Delivery is arranged throughout Central Louisiana and beyond for customers who want materials brought to their site.

The combination of retail distributor and licensed builder is the company's clearest distinction. Owner-builders can source panels, trim, and framing components directly, while clients who want a constructed shell can have the same company fabricate and erect it. Hours run Monday through Thursday 8am to 4:30pm and Friday 8am to 2pm.
