Portable Buildings, Sheds & Barns in Pilot Point, Texas
Quality Sheds, Cabins & Barns Delivered to Pilot Point and Surrounding Areas
Pilot Point sits at the junction of U.S. Highway 377 and Farm Road 455 in northern Denton County. The town takes its name from a sandy ridge that served as a “pilot” or landmark for Texas Rangers and 4 Indigenous people traveling across the rolling prairie . Early settlers camped at Dripping Springs, where 4 cool water bubbled from a nearby hillside, and built log cabins amid the blackjack oaks . In 1854, local 4 merchants laid out a town plan and by 1855 James D. Walcott’s general store doubled as the post office .
Modern Pilot Point retains this historic charm while embracing growth. The 2020 census counted about 4,381 residents, and the city is recognized as a National Historic Landmark, a Texas Main Street City and a Certified Scenic City 5 . Its brick‐lined downtown square showcases late‐19th‐century storefronts that house boutiques, cafes and antique shops. A dozen murals tell the story of cotton farmers, cowboys and roadhouses. Throughout the year the community hosts lively events—from free Concerts in the Park to Bonnie and Clyde Days celebrating the bank robbers’ 1933 movie shoot. Pilot Point is also the gateway to Horse Country: dozens of horse farms and equestrian training centers surround the town, and you’re as likely to see riders trotting down side streets as cars. Outdoor lovers flock to nearby Lake Ray Roberts, where they hike, cycle, boat and fish along the Greenbelt Corridor. Families pick juicy berries at Pecan Creek Strawberry Farm, feed exotic animals at Sharkarosa Wildlife Ranch and wander through rows of blooms at Texas Tulips 5 . With such diverse attractions, it’s no surprise many homeowners need versatile barns, cabins and sheds.

Delivery & Installation in Pilot Point
We coordinate each delivery to minimize disruption. Our drivers use specialized mules to move buildings through narrow gates and around trees. If your property sits on a hill or near the lake, we’ll advise on site prep to ensure proper drainage. In rural areas, we ask that you mark underground utilities, septic systems and irrigation lines. For heavy barns, we recommend constructing a gravel pad at least four inches deep and slightly larger than the building. We offer tie‑down anchors and hurricane straps to meet wind‑load requirements. Once the site is ready, most installations take less than two hours.

Branson Buildings has delivered portable buildings to Pilot Point for years. Our Pottsboro showroom is about 45 minutes to the northeast, and our Princeton lot sits just over an hour away. Drivers travel Highway 377 daily to deliver to properties along FM 455, Jordan Moore Road and the lakeshore neighborhoods. We understand the challenges of rural delivery—narrow gates, gravel drives, pastures and slopes—and will perform a site visit if needed. Delivery on in‑stock models typically takes two weeks; custom barns and cabins may require three to four weeks. Because much of the area sits on clay loam, we recommend gravel pads or concrete runners for stable foundations. We provide free leveling blocks and can advise on anchoring to withstand spring thunderstorms.
Local Building Codes & Regulations
Within Pilot Point city limits, accessory buildings larger than 120 square feet or those connected to utilities require a permit. Typical setbacks are 5 ft from side and rear property lines, but historic overlay zones may have additional guidelines. Contact the Pilot Point Building Inspection Department or check the city’s development ordinances to confirm. Rural properties in Denton County generally have fewer restrictions, but you should ensure barns meet wind‑load standards and that any electrical work is performed by a licensed contractor. If you live in subdivisions like Bear Creek Ranch or Timberlake Estates, consult your HOA for requirements on siding materials, roof colors and height. Our team is happy to supply engineered drawings and assist with permit applications.
