RV Cover with flexibility

Posted on October 30, 2017 by - ASI, Blog, Customer Builds, Steel Structures

Don’t leave your second home unprotected! Let American Steel Carports help you build a carport that will keep your RV safe from inclement weather.

 

RVs offer us the freedom to travel around the country and beyond in the comfort of our own home. The ability to sleep in a cozy bed, maintain your privacy, and even cook without paying for a hotel room makes an RV a valuable investment that not many of us can afford. This means it’s important to protect your RV from the natural elements.

 

The sun can keep us warm, but it can harm our vehicles too, and this includes RVs. Some people park their RVs indoors at special facilities, but the cost can be high. So why not park and store your RV at home?

 

We work with skilled installers who can put up your metal RV cover in hours. Take a look at this 30’W × 46’L × 12’H cover we installed in Littlefield, Arizona:

 

This is just one example of what we can do. This customer chose to cover only part of the sides of the RV. If you want to customize your cover, our sales representatives can always help you and can provide you with a quote and even a sketch, if you want one.

 

We know that our metal buildings can be a big investment, but it’s important to keep in mind that they will stay strong and protect your vehicles from bad weather. Remember, we also offer financing options. Click here for more information.

Compact Barn

Posted on October 16, 2017 by - ASI, Blog, Steel Structures

Amazed with our big metal buildings? How about our long agricultural barns?

 

Indeed, our steel buildings can be customized for big projects ranging from barns to protect your farm equipment and livestock to wide spans, ideal for warehouses. When people think about metal buildings, the first thing that comes to mind is a really big building. That’s a completely different thought than when they hear about mini-storage.

 

The fact that our metal buildings can be as big as 80’ wide does not necessarily mean that we can’t make them smaller. Why don’t you take a look at this compact agricultural barn installed in New Mexico:

 

Center Unit:

 

• 12’W x 21’L x 11’H

• 14 Gauge
• A-Frame Horizontal Roof
• Horizontal Ends
• 9’x7′ Roll-Up Door (front end)

 

Lean-Tos:

 

• 6’W x 21’L x 9’/7’H

• 14 Gauge
• A-Frame Horizontal Roof
• Horizontal Sides
• Horizontal Ends
• 2 – 36×72 Walk-In Doors on each Lean-To (centered)
• 6 – Windows (3 on each side of the lean-tos)
• Concrete Anchors

 

 

It’s more than clear that the purpose of this compact metal barn was to store material or animal food and maybe a tractor in the center unit. Remember that this is just an example of what we’re capable of. If you like the same style but want different dimensions, our group of experts can assist you. And if you ever have any questions regarding our metal buildings or colors, we’ll be more than happy to answer them.

Add Value to Your Property

Posted on October 9, 2017 by - ASI, Blog, Customer Builds

Aside from the options for customizing your metal building, there are many reasons to add one of our structures to your property. These are not only the obvious reasons, but also certain benefits that you might not know about yet. The carport industry has recently gone through many changes, and so have we. As such, we have made a large amount of improvements to our products with the help of our highly skilled engineers.

 

One of the biggest benefits of owning a metal carport is protecting your belongings from the weather. Even when you park your vehicle under a shady tree, the normal heat and light from the sun can increase the temperatures inside, causing extensive damage over time. The best alternative is to park it under a metal carport or garage. This will decrease the amount of damage caused by weather factors.

 

Do you know that you can also reduce criminal activity with a metal carport? As crazy as it sounds, if you keep the area well-lit, it can be repellent to criminal activity against your vehicle because of the increased visibility.

 

Since we’re talking about metal carports, why not taking a look at this 22’ x 36’ x 12’ standard carport?

 

• 3′ Sides

• Gable End (back end)

•12-Gauge Galvanized Tubing

 

It’s spacious enough to cover an RV or any other type of big vehicle. Remember that we can always change the dimensions according to your needs. If you need us to go taller than 12’, we can do it!

 

Give us a call! Let our experts help you customize your metal carport/garage. Don’t forget to ask about our financing options. Remember, you can place your order with only a 10% down payment!

Looking for a Metal Building With Insulation?

Posted on October 2, 2017 by - ASI, Blog, Customer Builds

Our metal buildings offer great protection when it comes to inclement weather. The versatility of steel allows us to transform and shape your building according to your desired specifications and needs.

 

Despite the versatility of our buildings, however, one other option that we offer is insulation. Insulation can be a little pricey—but, in the end, it’s your belongings that are getting protected from the harsh weather conditions. Please be aware that insulation can only be installed on vertical metal buildings. That means that if you need your building to be fully insulated, the whole building must be vertical (siding).

 

Take a look at this 24’W x 36’L x 9’H metal building that’s fully insulated:

 

•Fully Vertical

• Fully Insulated

• Three 9’x7′ Roll-Up Doors (two on the front end, and one on the side)

• 36″ x 84″ Heavy Duty Door (on the side)

• Concrete Anchors

• Welded “L” Brackets

 

*Interior designs may vary by state or region. The above design is effective for only a 30 PSF (ground snow load) and may require additional trusses to meet local codes. Additionally, lateral support might be required based on wind loads.

 

 

This beauty was installed in Williams, AZ. Since the slab is the same size as the metal building, we needed to include an “L” bracket to anchor the building without chipping the edge of the slab. Those come with an additional price.

 

 

There are endless ways to customize your metal building. If you have a sketch of what you’re picturing, our experts will work around the measurements and features in order to meet your needs. And with 12 different colors to choose from, you can add your own personal touch at no additional charge.
