Warranties That Make The Grade

/in , , /by

Have you ever heard those scary stories from a neighbor or friend about a carport structure collapsing or even completely blowing away? This sure can be intimidating. There are many ways, however, for you to protect your structure and ensure that it is “built to last.”

 

American Steel Carports certifies all of its steel structures and offers a one-year, four-season workmanship warranty* on your steel buildings. Unbelievably, that is just the standard warranty. Pretty great, huh? Our engineers have a plan in place to certify all of your building needs. From basic carports to our triple-wide steel warehouses, be assured that we can offer you the best warranties available and assist you with any information that you need.

 

Did you know that, when you upgrade your building’s frame from our standard 2.5”, 14-gauge galvanized steel to our 2¼”, 12-gauge steel material, your one-year standard warranty will be combined with a 20-year limited warranty** on frame rusting? That sounds expensive, you say. American Steel, however, offers its customers the best of the best at a price that still meets most budgets. Our 12-gauge price options vary depending on the unit’s size and, in most cases, are very similar in cost. Be sure to compare the differences when placing your order.

 

Do you get a lot of snow? No worries—American Steel has you covered. For heavier snow-load capacities, customers can purchase additional truss and bracing. You also have the ability to choose from a variety of roof options, such as the A-frame vertical or the A-frame horizontal. Our engineers know just what it takes to ensure that your unit has the proper snow load to meet your city code.

 

They don’t call Chicago the windy city for nothing. For those customers who live in high-wind areas, American Steel offers several anchoring options, including (but not limited to) mobile home, asphalt, and cement anchors. No matter where you are located, be sure to ask about our 90 mph wind warranty.*** Our sales team will help you to determine which type of anchoring system you need. Is your area not very windy at all? Still, you don’t want to be blown away! American Steel will hold it down, as all of our units come with our standard rebar anchors at no additional charge.

 

Needless to say, American Steel Carports makes the grade, scoring 100% when it comes to offering its customers the quality and protection that they deserve. Be sure to explore all of your warranty options with one of our educated sales reps. At American Steel, your visions are unbounded and will surely be “built to last.”

Insulation: What you Need to Know

/in , , , /by

Are you planning to get a metal building in the future? Have you considered insulating it? Perhaps insulation doesn’t seem like a huge deal for you, but it’s the best choice for those who want to keep their valuables at room temperature. American Steel Carports offers insulation for your metal building that provides your metal unit with thermal, radiation, and vapor barriers; combining these benefits means that that you will have a cool, dry structure in the summer and a warm, dry structure in the winter.

 

However, there are some things that you might need to know before opting to insulate your metal building. Our insulation:

 

• Has an R-Value of 16.

• Offers radiation and vapor barriers.

• Is great for heat, condensation, and cold.

• Comes with reflective aluminum foil on each side of a 5mm closed-cell polyethylene foam center.

 

Our insulation is ICC-ES recognized and Energy Star-qualified due to the following characteristics:

 

• It has a classification A for fire retardant, slow flame propagation material.

• It doesn’t leak when fastened.

• It’s waterproof.It has two aluminum faces that reflect radiation and heat.

• It offers thermal insulation.

• It retains its thickness over time.

 

Restrictions: Insulation can only be applied on buildings with Vertical siding; even if you only want to insulate the roof of your metal structure, it must be an A-Frame Vertical roof.

 

You might be wondering why insulation can only be added to vertical buildings. The simple answer is that the extra material used on vertical sides helps to support the insulation, preventing it from coming down or getting saggy. Horizontal siding or roofs wouldn’t be able to hold the insulation correctly due to the lack of material.

 

Now you’ve learned about our insulation and all the benefits we offer. If you’re definitely sure about getting a metal building with insulation, give us a call! Let one of our experts help you create that metal building of your dreams. And don’t forget to ask about what financing options are available for you.

Need Some Shade for Your Livestock?

/in , , , /by

If you own a farm with livestock, you know the importance of providing a shaded area to protect them from intense heat. Some farms might have soil rich enough in nutrients to increase the chances of trees growing there. But like us, trees can take 30 years to be fully grown, and not only that, a tree must be able to be establish itself with the area; and keep in mind the harsh conditions the tree might be exposed to.

 

A more beneficial option might be to install a multipurpose metal building that can protect your livestock as well as your belongings, such as farm equipment, from unpredictable weather. American Steel Carports specializes in the production of custom metal buildings to fit our customers’ needs and priorities.

 

When it comes to the length of our buildings, there’s no limit. Take a look at this 18′W × 61′L × 7′H building:

 

• A-Frame Vertical Roof

• 3′ Horizontal Sides

• Mobile Home Anchors

 

 

Side note: We highly recommend our customers opt for a vertical roof once the length of the building passes 30 feet. This will prevent future leaks, due to the sheet panels running from the peak of the building toward the eaves.

 

If you have questions about any of our metal buildings, feel free to contact us! Let one of our experts help you customize that metal building of your dreams. Remember, all our buildings are engineer certified! Don’t forget to ask about our financing options.

Big Enough Plus Additional Space!

/in , , , , /by

American Steel Carports provides customized metal buildings that will fulfill your special needs and expectations. Whether you’re planning on storing your vehicles, heavy machinery, or any of your belongings that might need protection from the harsh weather, American Steel Carports will have what you need! And with so many different designs, sizes, and colors to choose from, you can add your own personal touch!

 

When you’re planning to put up a metal unit, the first thing we always recommend is to know the size that you want. This will allow you to play around with measurements; whether we’re increasing length or width, it’s best to have additional space. However, that doesn’t necessarily mean that you need an extremely wide building to park your vehicles. Lean-tos are a smart option if you want to extend the width protection of your building for a lower price. Here is a clearer representation of what we’re talking about:

 

• 54’W x 31’L x 12’/8’H

• 30’W x 31’L x 12’H (center unit) 14-Gauge

• A-Frame Vertical Roof

• Horizontal Sides

• Horizontal End

• Gable End

• 45 Degree Cuts

• 2 – 12’W x 31’L x 10’/8’H Lean-Tos

• A-Frame Vertical Roof

 

 

 

This metal building, more like an agricultural barn, is 54’ wide due to both lean-tos that are connected side to side. This is what we’re talking about when we refer to extending the width of your building in a smarter way.

 

 

*It’s recommended to keep lean-tos under 12’ wide. Once a lean-to overpasses 12’ wide, additional support and material will need to be added for an additional price. *

 

Want something similar to this metal barn? Need to adjust its size? Give us a call and let one of our experts help you customize that metal barn that you’ve been wanting. All of our metal barns are custom-made to satisfy nothing but your needs, and all of the buildings that we post are live creations of our customers.

 

Want to see our buildings in person? Give us a call and ask for your local dealer! And when you call, don’t forget to ask about our available financing options.

As a company, we know exactly the need of protection for our heavy equipment, and sometimes is not that easy to find something with the right amount of height and clearance in order for your toys to be well protected. Another reason why customers might get turned down, is because our flyers go all the way to 12’ tall. However, that doesn’t mean that we cannot go taller than 12’. In fact, the tallest we can go on ay metal building, is 20’ tall.

 

Since we’re talking about tall buildings, take a look at this 24’W x 26’L x 14’H metal building with the following features:

 

• 12-Gauge (20-year limited warranty on rust through of framing)

• A-Frame Vertical Roof
