Pre-Fabricated Buildings

Steel comes with a handful of benefits in comparison with other elements. The time a unit takes to construct may take longer than wished for but we simplified the process with our pre-fabricated buildings.

 

What does this mean?

 

This simply means your unit is drilled and welded at our factory. The components are then carefully loaded onto the trucks and sent off to your chosen construction site.

 

Read below to see the benefits of pre-manufactured buildings:

 

 

Prices are discussed with you before installation. You will not have sudden price increase for the installation. This is because we provide you with a free estimate and installation.

 

Installation may take hours or a couple of days. Whatever the time frame, both you and us, save ourselves the long hassle of erection period by a huge percentage.

 

When the buildings are fabricated in the factory, scraps and other leftover material is kept for recycling. It would create a bigger mess if it were constructed on-site.

 

Safety is first. Potential hazards are eliminated when the labor is done at our plant. Workers won’t be working in extreme weather for longer periods of time.

 

Unpredicted weather is always a likely circumstance, we know this. The likelihood, however, is immensely decreased when you order from a company with pre-fabricated buildings like us.

 

But what makes us different from the others?

 

 

 

Our pre-fabricated buildings are Engineer-Certified to meet your state codes. We stand behind our product and provide you with the best customer service.

 

 

We also provide generic plans on most standard buildings at no extra charge. Additionally, our 360° roof bracing and wind warranty packages guarantee you with a long-lasting durable carport.

 

 

We like to keep things simple, and want you to have a smooth process when purchasing from us. That’s why we provide you with as much opportunities as we can.

4 Major Steel Carport Maintenance Tips

Steel buildings are extremely durable making them well worth the money.

 

Whether you are using one as a place to store farming equipment or as a place to store your cars, a steel building can hold up to just about anything. Especially when it is made with high-quality steel like at American Steel Carports.

 

Although our steel building is practically low-maintenance and can last for a long time, there are some things you can do to keep your steel carport, barn or shed looking like new.

 

Check Periodically

Your steel building probably gets a lot of use. Since the structure is outdoors, a lot of times
things may happen to it and can easily go unnoticed if not inspected. As a good rule of thumb, it is a good idea to check it periodically for damage, rust, and dents. You should make it a habit to check your steel storage unit at least twice a year. However, if you live in an area that sees a lot of bad weather from hail, tornadoes, or even snow storms, it is best that you check your unit more frequently.

 

 

Do Minor Repairs

After you have done your bi-yearly inspection of your steel unit, if you by chance find any damages, be sure to handle those as soon as possible. You would be surprised how much additional damage can take place from one small hole in your structure’s roof. Something so minor can allow rodents to get in or can allow the elements to penetrate your unit. By promptly taking care of any damage, big or small, you can stop further damage before it has time to develop.

 

Clean FrequentlyA-Frame-Vertical-Garage

Just like you home, your steel carport, barn, workshop, garage, or custom building needs a little maintenance which includes spot cleaning and deep cleaning. Spot cleaning your unit when you have a spill is important, but you must not forget deep cleaning as well. Deep cleaning your unit with cleaning products allow you to get rid of any mold or fungus that         could easily set up shop in your structure. Since steel is extremely durable, using soap, water, bleach, and maybe even a power washer can be very beneficial in keeping your steel unit like new.

 

Watch Out for Water

One thing you need to remember about steel is that no matter how heavy duty it is, is still not good for your unit. Water is like steel’s kryptonite, so you need to try your best to watch out for it. Large areas of water near or beside your steel unit can cause it to rust which will lead to structural damage. To prevent this from happening, try adding gutters or downspouts to deter water away from your building.

If you want to make your steel building last for years and years to come, keep these simple yet key maintenance tips in mind.

9 Reasons Why You Should Get An Agricultural Building

Are you a farmer? Perhaps you’re an avid hunter? Or maybe an animal lover?

 

 

When you decide on purchasing a metal carport you are setting yourself up with many opportunities. Whether you need extra space for your animals and tools, a steel agricultural building is the way to go.

 

 

    • Live out in the country? Our agricultural barns are composed of 3 sections. Each compartment can be used to separate livestock from tools and feed all within one spacious unit. Choose from our Standard, A-Frame Vertical, A-Frame Horizontal, and Hexagon styles.

 

    • Maybe you live in the suburbs, and need that extra storage. With an agricultural building you can store your recreational vehicle, fishing boat, gator, or four-wheeler.

 

    • Because most steel structures are prefabricated, you save time and money. Orders are manufactured at our factory where they are then delivered and installed on-site within a matter of hours. Most importantly, pre-fabricated units can withstand a high degree of strength regarding animal kicks.

 

    • Steel is also easy to work with, giving you the liberty to choose what size and shape you desire with no limits as with wood. You can add horse stalls, shelves, kitchen counters, or sinks to make your unit more resourceful.

 

    • Quality is another aspect that makes steel the best choice for agricultural buildings. Steel carports are effective as the manufacturer it came from. The average lifespan depends on the quality of the parts a company uses for their units.

 

    • Your livestock, tools, and crops will be protected against nature’s unpredicted weather. A sturdy well-made carport will last an average of 25-30 years.

 

    • There’s more than what meets the eye. Steel carports, in general, are energy efficient. This means you won’t have to worry nor waste money on electric garage openers, excessive lighting, and other utilities. Steel units are well ventilated and provide shade for your equipment and livestock, and hunting gear. Your livestock can rest with the adequate ventilation.

 

    • With an agricultural metal barn, you can have a peace of mind knowing you are using the most recyclable material in the world. You can always sell your steel for scrap when it is no longer useful to you.

 

    • Maybe you want skylights instead of electric lights, or need an extra window – these metal barns can be customized to fit your necessities. We also offer hexagon buildings and loafing sheds apart from our agricultural metal barns.

 

 

 

 

With our Engineer Certified barns, you acquire units strong enough to withstand vicious winds, heavy snow loads, hail, and other elements. We offer high quality products for a great price with many different warranty packages to choose from. Furthermore, you can supplement additional accessories to reinforce your product. Options include  90+ mph wind warranty, solar air vents, and colored screws.

 

 


 

Walking down the gravel road that leads straight to your Barn Red and White-trimmed carport, you begin to hear the restlessness of your pets as they await your presence. A fresh passing of air replaces the beating heat as you enter the spacious barn. Scents of freshly-cut hay and feed mixes with the sweet scent of your horse’s apple wafers as you rip open the bag. You look up and see sun beams gleaming through the barn’s skylights down onto the hazy environment.

Steel Wide Span Buildings

American Steel Carports has been the leading steel carport manufacturer in its industry time and time again, serving over 30 states and specializing in steel structures such as garages, lean-tos, and mini storages. It’s no wonder why customers recognize our steel buildings all over the United States. American Steel Carport’s is constantly pushing steel buildings to the next level—but did you know that American Steel Carports has the skills and manpower to build industrial-sized steel wide buildings? Our industrial-sized steel wide buildings are standard-built in widths of between 32-40 ft. and lengths of up to 50 ft. However, our steel wide span units can be built up to an impressive 80 ft. wide and a sky-scraping 20 ft. in leg height, most often requiring the use of machinery.* If that wasn’t impressive enough, our wide spans can be made to meet almost any length specifications. Because of our wide span framing systems, we make it easy for you to add future extensions to your steel buildings as your needs grow.

 

 

American Steel Carports’ metal wide spans are made in both our 12 and 14-gauge acrylic-coated galvanized C/Z tubing, ensuring that they have the strongest frames possible. They are built with our heavy duty A-frame vertical roof as an only option. When enclosing a wide span unit, you will notice that the side and end panels are also installed vertically. This style will give your structure maximum strength.

 

 

When a customer decides to place an order for a wide span building, however, there are a few things that they should know. First, all wide spans must be installed on concrete piers, slabs, or footers. There are a number of reasons why this is required, but the main one is to ensure the durability and longevity of the structure’s placement. Although American Steel Carports does not pour concrete or do any concrete work, we staff the most educated engineers in the industry, and they will always be happy to assist you with any questions as well as offer recommendations regarding your foundation. In addition, from our experiences with installing large units, customers who purchase wide span buildings will most likely be required to obtain construction permits. Although American Steel Carports leaves the responsibility of contacting their local code enforcement to its customers, our company will make it easy for you to obtain a copy of the generic plans or certified blueprints of your structure.**

 

 

From steel mini storages to metal wide spans, no size is too small or too big. Let American Steel Carports be your number one choice for your next project. Protect your heavy duty equipment or expand your business with an American Steel wide span unit today.
