It’s Time For A New Project

For some people, purchasing a carport from scratch means a new project to learn how to build a carport. For others it may be a chance to improve their do it yourself (DIY) or building skills. Even though our professional installers are delighted to build your homemade carport for you, here at American Carports we understand the excitement a new building project brings for some of our customers.

Even though this might be a discount for some it could also cause a hassle for others. We give two options on that matter. One option is for us to provide all the material and you can pick it up or we could also deliver the material all the way to your home. The discount will depend on your location. This is a great option to consider when you have the ability to build it for yourself or if it’s a small and simple project. Just in case you get stuck in some steps we also do provide an installation manual.

Building your own carport can have its pros and cons. Putting up your carport together brings the satisfaction of a job well done. For many other people it can also make you feel safer knowing that you have done everything correctly and more firm. As fun as it may seem, sometimes you might get stuck in-between the process and causes to leave the project halfway done. This might not seem like the solution, especially after all the money you have spent. Also with us giving you that option, it avoids the warranties that we include when we build the building for you.

For example, this 12’W x 21’L x 7’H was a self install order from California. As you can see it seems like a quick and easy installation, resulting in a discounted price for this customer. You can save some money, but we always recommend to always rather be safe than sorry.

Well, today is your lucky day. Here at American steel, we’ve made it a priority to make your carport shopping experience something you’ll love. You can experience fast paced construction and fine steel components on every order you make. You make the decision that works best for you.

Any of these choices work best for us. Our priority is for all our customers to get their desired carport.

When choosing the size of your metal carport, consider all of the following. Obviously, metal carports that store an RV or trailer will need to be taller than those that cover a car. You’ll want to choose a carport that offers the right size in order to make the protection and stability effective for the unit. All of our buildings are engineer-certified and are built to withstand the specific weather that we are given for your specific area. You can start off from something basic to putting as much detail as you would like .

Like this all-white building illustrated below, this specific unit has the following specs:

26’W x 35’L x 10’H 14-Gauge

  • Standard Roof
  • 2 ends
  • 2 sides
  • (1)- 10 x 10 RUD
  • (1)- 36 x 80 WID

As you can see, there are a number of factors to consider when selecting the right carport size for your property. Take some time to think about what you’ll want to use the carport for and analyze the space you have available for the project. Of course, if you need any assistance making this important decision, our team is here to help. Contact us at 866-730-9865 today for assistance with any questions you may have.

Important Factors to Consider Before Investing in a Building

Posted on April 15, 2019 by - ASI, Blog, Buildings, Carports, Custom, Customer Builds, Informative, Lifestyle, Questions, Steel Structures

Many companies will try to get you to buy a carport, but there are many things you should consider before doing so. We all have to put consideration to our location and weather when it comes to choosing a structure. Sometimes it will even require a little research. Here are four of the most important factors to consider before investing in a building.

1. Pricing

Plenty of people habitually price-check their purchases, especially if it’s a large purchase that will serve as an investment. An investment is something that will benefit us in the long run, not just immediately. It’s important to consider a budget or price range for these bigger purchases. It all depends on the features you need and how long it’s going to last. One way to feel less pressured when considering an investment is by looking at all the options available. Here at American Steel Carports, we have two options for purchasing buildings aside from payment in full: financing or the rent to own option.

2. Building Regulations

Some cities require a permit in order for installation. Sometimes this can cause problems, especially if you find out at the last minute. To prevent this situation, it’s important to know what are the requirements in your area prior to buying a unit. For a permit, you will need the specifics of your new building, which ASCI can supply for free. With some cities, you will need draws and calcs, and those do come with an additional charge separately from your building.

3. Stability

Stability is also another big factor to consider. When you make a purchase, quality should always be important. There is a chance that you might find some high-quality things available at cheaper prices, but for the most part, price is a good indicator of quality. It’s always better to stay on the safe side. Why buy something cheaper when the more expensive option will last twice as long? At ASCI, we provide two different types of materials and we will always suggest the best for you as our customer. All of our buildings are engineer-certified, so you can be certain that your building is made to last.

4. Meeting Your Needs

Do you know what exactly you’re looking for? It’s okay if you don’t. We understand that with all the different styles of buildings, sometimes it’s hard to decide. We have lots of options, so it all depends on what exactly you’re looking for. Protection for your car? A game room? A workshop? We have all of those!
Here are some of the features we provide that you can modify:
• Dimensions: Width x Length x Height
• Color: We provide 12 different colors at no extra charge.
• Roof type:
◦ Standard – this roof comes with the rounded corners on the ends
◦ A-frame Horizontal – sheet metal runs horizontally
◦ A-frame Vertical – panels run from the peak towards the sides. This is our sturdier roof that lets water, snow, or dirt run down the roof rather than piling up and potentially causing a collapse.

If you have any other questions about any of this information, call us at 866-730-9865 and get one of our professionals to help you.

YOUR needs are OUR needs

The needs of every individual will vary based on the area they live in. Our top sellers are carports, always popular in rural areas where our customers need to protect their vehicles from the natural elements. Carports are less spacious compared to other metal buildings. On the other hand, we also have customers who have enough space on their land to build big metal buildings. These are the customers who go for the bigger units such as garages, workshops, or Ag Barns. This one right here is an example of one of our customized buildings built for one of our customers, it’s a 34 x 41 x 9, 12 Gauge building with a A-Frame Vertical Roof, Horizontal enclosing all around, and 3 – 10×8 Roll Up Doors.

This garage is built for those who have more than one car to protect from natural disasters as well as physical. It also comes with a unique drive through entry that you don’t see very often. Also, remember that we can always adjust the length, width, height, and door size of any metal building according to your needs.

March Madness

It’s almost summer time and what could be better than buying an affordable carport within your budget to protect your vehicles. The number one kind of protection is against UV exposure. As you know, sunlight can be extremely damaging to vehicles.  We believe that those thousands of dollars you invested in your vehicle could easily be destroyed by the sun. American steel carports provide you with one of the most durable materials you can find. The carports provided by American Steel Carports are provided with what is called galvanized steel construction.

Galvanized steel carports effectively resist rust, corrosion, and chipping. We offer 12 and 14-gauge carports. Both different kind of tubing come with a one-year workmanship included, but only the 12 gauge has the 20-year rust warranty. Afar from the material these metal carports ensure reliable protection against all kinds of circumstances depending your location.

Now, imagine this 21’W x 22’L x 7’H carport on the side of your house, protecting your twenty-thousand-dollar car, what more can you want, but there is no end there. You can customize this carport according to your needs and preferences! Maybe 21’ wide is not big enough for your vehicles, or perhaps you’d prefer a different roof style. Want to enclose the carport and make it a metal garage? The decision is all yours.

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.
