Your house and land will probably be the most important investment you ever make. Keeping up and adding to the value is extremely important.

Upkeep on the house and property is an obvious way to retain the value of your investment, but there’s a way to improve your property value and get some additional functionality at the same time.

American Steel Carports are high-quality structural engineered buildings that are proven to last. Even having a permit to build a building can increase your property value.

Is One Not Enough? How About Two?

If you’re at the point where the width of the building you need is surpassing your budget, you might want to consider two separate buildings instead. American Steel Carports is here to provide you with buildings that will serve your needs with high-quality materials for an unbeatable price!

We always like to help our customers reduce the price of any metal building without sacrificing space. An important factor of a building’s price is the increase in length compared to width. Although our metal buildings can go as wide as 80’, extra-wide structures like these can come with a high price. However, when you decide to increase in length, instead of width, you can save yourself a lot of money. The other option is to obtain a second unit with the exact same specs. This can also save money in comparison to increasing width.

Another advantage of staying within 30’ wide is that once a unit surpasses 30’ wide, it needs to be installed on a concrete pad, due to the increased weight of material used. See how two metal buildings can save you some money? Don’t believe us? Well, let us show you this customer who decided to get two identical carports for his heavy-duty equipment, each one measuring 30’W x 21’L x 12’H:

12-Guage Galvanized Tubing
Standard Roof
Diagonal Bracing
(2) Extras Trusses

All our metal units are engineer-certified and ready to withstand anything that mother nature will throw their way! Curious about the price? Give us a call to speak with one of our experts. We can help you customize your unit and stay in budget! Ask for your local dealer when you call.

Summer is Coming: Get Your Pool Area Ready

March 12, 2019/in ASI, Blog, Informative, Lifestyle, News/Press, Questions /by clickgiant

Winter is finally on its way out, and we can hear Spring knocking. WThat means Summer will be here before you know it. Summer means something different to everyone, but one common denominator is the pool. It’s a meeting place and retreat from the cruel summer heat… The pool can be perfect for relaxing and stirring up laughter. It’s a great setting for a neighborhood celebration, birthdays, team parties, keeping the kids entertained, or gathering the adults for some grown-up conversation.

Now that we have the fun out of the way, let’s get down to business. There’s a lot that goes into the upkeep of a pool. There are all the tools needed for maintenance and repair, as well as chemicals, and the toy collection you have amassed.

We have the perfect idea for a pool house to keep the pool area more organized as well as the yard clean from party debris.

Our buildings work perfectly for smaller yards that still need the access and organization that a pool house brings. American Steel Carport buildings are completely customizable to fit any size needs. Since most pool houses can be wide open with a small room for changing, our open floor plan works perfectly.

Whether you need your pool house to be big enough to add a bar and host company, or you just want something to store tools, supplies, and toys, we can take care of you.

We’ve also mentioned in a previous blog that our carport cover is perfect for pool covers. They provide protection from leaves and other debris, as well as shade for those who want the heat but not the direct sunlight. They also make it easy to swim during summer rain, which is great for people who depend on the pool for daily exercise or rehabilitation.

We would love to talk to you about your new pool house or pool cover! Feel free to call us at 866-730-9865 or online at Americansteelinc.com.

Be Prepared for Any Weather

March 11, 2019/in A-Frame Vertical, ASI, Blog, Buildings, Custom, Customer Builds, Garage, Steel Structures, Workshop /by clickgiant

Within the past few months, we’ve seen how the weather can be so unpredictable. An unexpected storm can come right at us at any time, especially during the transition of the seasons. Although the cold weather is about to come to an end for many regions, there’s nothing wrong with being prepared for next year. Now you might be thinking, what’s the ideal metal building for me? Well, American Steel Carports offers a wide variety of metal structures that are suitable for a variety of purposes.

A recommendation for our friends up north is the fully vertical buildings. If you want a structure that doesn’t require that much maintenance, then our vertical feature is the best choice for you. Vertical panels allow snow, water, leaves, and debris to slide off easily, especially on the roof. Another important feature of vertical siding is that it can be insulated. Here is a good example of an all-vertical and smooth metal building measuring 24’W x 36’L x 10’H:

12-Gauge Galvanized Tubing
(2) 10’x8′ Roll-Up Doors
36″x80″ Walk-In Door
(2) 30″x30″ Windows
Fully Insulated

If this is a building that you might be interested in, give us a call now and ask to speak with one of our representatives! Remember that we offer financing and rent-to-own in most of our service areas.

What exactly am I getting when I purchase from American Steel Carports?

1-year workmanship warranty
20 years of rust-through of framing warranty on our 12-gauge units
An engineer-certified structure
Delivery and installation INCLUDED in the price
All of the recommended bracing INCLUDED in the price

Call us now and let one of our experts answer your questions. The building that you’re looking for might be just one call away!

Protection No Matter the Size

March 4, 2019/in A-Frame Vertical, ASI, Blog, Buildings, Garage, Lifestyle, Our Specialty, Steel Structures, Workshop /by clickgiant

Metal sheds are an important addition to your property because they’ll keep your belongings protected. Farm equipment or working tools left sitting outside can be affected by the natural elements. That’s why it’s so important to maintain your belongings, including keeping them protected. American Steel Carports can help you build a metal shed or garage that meets your unique needs and specifications. And with 20 years of experience in the carport industry, our buildings are well-made and long-lasting.

Aside from the additional options we offer, such as colored screws, insulation, and skylights (to mention just a few), there are always the simple metal buildings that never fail. If you need any of those specific features, you’re more than welcome to add them, but you can always keep your building simple. Take this 20’W x 31’L x 9’H fully vertical in our clay and slate blue colors:

(1) 9’x7′ Roll-Up Door
(1) 36″x 80″ Walk-In Door
(1) Window (on the side)

One of the main advantages of a fully vertical building is the ability to fully insulate it. Insulation can only be installed on panels running vertically. Another advantage of fully vertical buildings is easy maintenance. Because the panels run vertically, it allows debris, water, snow, leaves, etc. to slide off easily.

Interested in the price? Give us a call now! Let one of our carport experts help you customize a metal building of your needs. Whether you need a personal storage room, a regular carport or a custom warehouse, we will stand behind our product. Don’t forget to ask about our financing options!
