Is It Too Soon to Be Ready for the Winter?

Posted on July 30, 2018 by - ASI, Blog, Customer Builds, Questions, Steel Structures

July is pretty much gone, and fall and winter will be here sooner that you think, so no, it’s not too soon to be thinking about winter. Your farm equipment, bicycles, tools, tractors, even your vehicles—you might want to think of a place to secure all these things when the weather starts to change.

 

The main concern in the summer is having a carport to keep your vehicle in the shade. And that’s smart—a carport can protect your vehicle from direct sunlight—but have you considered an enclosed metal unit instead?

 

The price might increase because of the sides and garage doors, and more if you add features like windows, walk-in doors, or insulation. But there are advantages to consider too. Carports provide shade and partial protection, but an enclosed building can keep your small valuables and even your big toys well-protected. And if you’re considering making your metal building a workshop, you can opt for a vertical-siding unit that can be insulated. American Steel Carports offers insulation (R value 16) only for buildings with vertical siding.

 

This 24′W × 41′L × 12′H fully vertical metal building is an example of what we’re talking about:

 

• Fully Vertical

• 14-Gauge

• 2 – 10’x10′ Roll-Up Doors

• Walk-In Door (side)

• Fully Insulated

• L-Brackets

 

This building is fully insulated. R value 16 comes with a vapor and radiant barrier protection, meaning you’ll have a cool, dry structure in the summer and a warm, dry structure in the winter. If you’d like to learn more about our insulation, click here.

 

All our belongings need to be secure and protected, so consider the advantages of acquiring a fully enclosed metal building. Remember, all our units can be modified according to your needs. If insulation wouldn’t benefit you, we can always remove it. Contact us now to talk to one of our building specialists, and they will help you customize the best structure within your budget. Don’t forget to ask about our financing options.

 

Protect your Vehicles with an Affordable Metal Carport

Posted on July 25, 2018 by - ASI, Blog, Customer Builds, Steel Structures

This summer is definitely hitting us hard with the intense heatwave we had last week, and it looks like the temperatures are going to stay in the high 90s or 100s. At least here at our headquarters in Texas, the weather has been pretty suffocating. But hey—no surprise, right?

 

Parking under the shade might not seem like a relief, but it really is. The shade might not be able to keep your vehicle completely cool, but you can tell the difference right away compared to leaving your car exposed to direct sunlight. Not many of us are lucky enough to have a tree or an attached garage to park our vehicles under, however. Don’t get discouraged! Just remember that we need to protect our belongings instead of leaving them exposed to any type of weather, not just the sun.

 

If you don’t want to spend that much money on a metal carport, then you’ve definitely come to the right place. American Steel Carports offers affordable, engineer-certified steel structures of a high quality and durability for the right price. Maybe this 20’W x 21’L x 6’H standard partially enclosed metal carport can be the solution to your problems:

 

 

Standard roof structures can save you money, since the roof is already included in the base price. With our 14-gauge galvanized tubing option, moreover, you’ll still get our one-year workmanship warranty.

Plenty of Space for Your Belongings

Posted on July 23, 2018 by - ASI, Blog, Customer Builds, Steel Structures

Have you ever found yourself needing more space for all your valuables? We often collect more things than we need at home without thinking about the space we have available. And this is just one scenario. Maybe you like to work on vehicles and would prefer a metal building to use as a workshop to protect yourself and the car from the elements.

 

 

If your situation resembles either of these typical ones, you’ve come to the right place. American Steel Carports will help you construct the metal building or garage you’re looking for. When it comes to protecting your belongings, we provide nothing but engineer-certified metal structures that are built to last.

 

Take a look at this 30′W × 41′L × 9′H three-bay metal building:

 

 

*Disclaimer: Prices are subject to change at any time without notice. Please contact our sales department for our latest prices.*

 

This metal building comes with a vertical roof, a walk-in door, three 10′ × 8′ roll-up doors, and concrete anchors.

 

Metal buildings with garage doors on the side are pretty functional, and they usually cost less—it’s cheaper to increase the length than the width. But we can always adjust the dimension to your needs and expectations. Want to add features like windows? Or maybe you live in a snowy area and want to make the whole unit vertical. Or perhaps making the building even longer? Give us a call and let one of our experts help you customize the metal building you’re looking for.

Why Braces on Your Metal Carport?

Posted on July 17, 2018 by - ASI, Blog, Customer Builds, Questions

You give the anatomy of your carport a thorough inspection after installation. You notice the trim outlining the sides of your building and the anchors that are strongly holding it down, you go inside and start to wonder what makes a carport so resistant. The handful of wall and roof braces inside your building makes you question why they are important.

 

Carport stability should be the main concern for manufacturers. That’s why braces must be strong enough to stand against:

 

• Heavy rainstorms

• Harsh winds

• Earthquakes

• Time

 

Why are braces important? An earthquake can happen suddenly without warning and if you’re in an area where winds are constantly pushing and pulling, buildings need to have a strong foundation. They keep bolts attached to the carport to prevent forces from tearing the building apart.

 

Our products are reinforced with braces on every corner and in the center of every truss. They are put in place to ensure your shelter remains squared and stable for extra strength while preventing the roof from caving. American Steel Carports cares about quality over quantity. While other companies don’t provide this fortification, we ensure that our metal units come equipped to withstand strong elements. Further, after 15 years in this industry we have noted that customers reach out to us after failing their local inspection test with other companies that do not provide this feature.

 

At American Steel Carports we proudly stand behind our products. After your installation, rest assured that your valuable assets will be protected with nothing but the best quality for you. Our engineer certified structures also come with a 4 season workmanship warranty to further attend your needs. If you care about protecting your investments why not choose the best? Versatile. Strong. Built to Last. Go ahead and give us a call, we’ll be more than happy to hear from you.
