When projects demand maximum load capacity and long-term durability, driven piles remain a time-tested solution. Installed by driving steel piles deep into the ground, this method creates strong foundations capable of supporting heavy structures in demanding conditions. Driven piles are...

When most people think of structural steel, they picture massive bridges, highways, or deep foundations. But sometimes the most meaningful work happens in a place as simple as the gate to a pasture. Recently, Dark Horse Metals delivered a custom cattle guard for a ranch in Liberty Hill, Texas — a project that reflects our commitment to strong steel, smart design, and supporting the communities we live in.

Dark Horse Metals has entered a new era of expansion, closing a strategic asset-based lending facility with Flexent. After two years of strong support from ECapital, this move positions us to scale inventory, expand fabrication capacity, and strengthen supply chain resilience — delivering more steel, faster, for customers nationwide.

When timelines are tight and margins are tighter, every hour saved on-site counts. For driven pile contractors, pre-cut steel isn’t just a convenience — it’s a strategic advantage. From faster mobilization to reduced cutting waste and increased safety, pre-cut pipe streamlines jobsite execution and lowers overall project risk. At Dark Horse Metals, we precision-cut driven pile materials to spec, ready to go from the truck to the ground — no onsite fab required. Here are five real-world ways our contractor partners are winning time (and repeat business) with pre-cut steel solutions.

Discover how Dark Horse Metals supplies driven piles with cut-to-spec speed and reliability. From H-pile to pipe pile, we move foundation steel fast for real infrastructure jobs.

We don’t sell helicals to the field—we serve the shops that make them. Our steel supply chain is built for manufacturers who need speed, specs, and support. 

We didn’t form Dark Horse Metals to chase sales — we formed it to take part in rebuilding the backbone of America. Inspired by the post-WWII infrastructure boom, our mission is rooted in speed, precision, and all-American grit. This is the story of why we exist — and what we’re here to build.

As cities and utilities step up their infrastructure defenses, steel bollards are becoming the unsung heroes of jobsite safety. At Dark Horse Metals, we fabricate tough, American-made bollards—cut to spec, welded in-house, and delivered fast. Whether you're protecting critical assets or staging a large-scale install, our team builds it right the first time.

We’re proud to be featured in the Liberty Hill Independent’s Business Feature Friday, which highlights the unwavering grit, integrity, and innovation that fuel Dark Horse Metals. From our roots in Liberty Hill to nationwide impact in surplus and structural steel, the article captures our journey, our mission, and the people behind the forge.
