Insulated Mini Storage

Posted on May 23, 2017 by - ASI, Blog, Product Reviews, Questions

Mini storage units might be small, but they provide excellent protection for your belongings.

 

When it comes to residential areas without that much space available for construction, there aren’t that many options to build a storage unit. But mini storage units definitely offer a great opportunity to store your valuable belongings.

 

Although we have a flyer regarding our specialized mini storage units, it doesn’t mean that we cannot customize the size for you.  We can also do cuttings (frame outs) according to your desired dimensions for an additional price. In this case, our customer wanted to have a 2’ x 2’ frame on the side.

 

Usually, the leg height of a mini storage unit is only 7 feet tall. However, this customer decided to have fully vertical 8’ legs and wanted to insulate the whole unit:

 

 

• 12′ x 15′ x 8′

 

• 12-Gauge Galvanized Tubing

 

• Fully Vertical (Roof, Sides & Ends)

 

• 6′ x 6′ Roll-Up Door

 

• 36″ x 72″ Walk-In Door

 

• 2′ x 2′ Frame Out (Opening)

 

• Fully Insulated

 

*Disclaimer: interior designs may vary by state or region*

 

*Insulation can be added on vertical buildings only.

 

American Steel Carports offer insulation for your metal building. Our insulation provides your unit with thermal, radiant, and vapor barrier protection (R Value 16). That means that you’ll have a cool, dry structure in the summer and a warm, dry structure in the winter.

All Vertical Garage

Posted on May 15, 2017 by - ASI, Blog, Customer Builds, Questions

 

Want to have real garage doors?

 

At American Steel Carports, we don’t only offer roll-up doors. We also have overhead doors to give you a residential look and quality. Our garages doors come in a standard design, meaning they don’t have windows or insulation,  but you can upgrade overhead doors with glass windows, and if the unit will be fully insulated, you can insulate the door too! Our overhead doors are also compatible with garage openers.

 

Look at this fully vertical metal garage rocking our overhead doors:

 

• 26’W x 31’L x 11’H

 

• 12-Gauge Galvanized Tubing

 

• Fully Vertical

 

• 2 – 10′ x 10′ Overhead Doors

 

• 36″ x 80″ Walk-In Door (on the side)

 

• Concrete Anchors (90-mph wind warranty)

 

 

*Disclaimer: interior designs may vary by state or region*

 

What are the advantages of a fully vertical garage?

 

One of the main advantages is low maintenance. Because the panels run vertically, they’re also more strongly recommended for northern areas, especially places with heavy snowfall.

 

How do I have my building certified for the snow loads in my area?

 

Our buildings are already certified for 20 psf. But if your area has heavy snow loads, we can certify our buildings to withstand those too. On top of that, vertical siding WILL NOT let snow accumulate on the roof or cause it to collapse.

 

We’re almost into summer, and the elevated temperatures will make it a good idea to acquire a metal garage to protect your vehicle from the blazing sun. Keep your car in the shade to prevent the paint from fading and cracking.

 

Give us a call! We can help you picture the metal garage of your dreams! Remember, delivery and installation are FREE on your level land or concrete pad. Want to see more buildings? Click here or go to our blog for more recently installed metal buildings and valuable information.

Amazing Metal Buildings Come from Amazing Ideas.

Posted on May 2, 2017 by - ASI, Blog, Customer Builds, Steel Structures

Most of our designs come from our customers’ most valuable ideas—the ideas that complement the very idea of what a metal building is. Customization helps us implement these ideas.

When it comes to customized metal buildings, our clients’ biggest fear is that our units won’t withstand harsh weather. To verify your specific local wind rates, you’ll have to contact your city’s building department. But the main protection we offer is the addition of anchors. We do offer rebar anchors (temporary anchors) for free, although they don’t come with any guarantee. Much better are our asphalt and concrete mobile home anchors, which have a warranty for winds of up to 90 mph.

What happens if the winds are stronger?

If the winds are stronger, we start by adding more trusses. In some cases, we add bigger peak and corner braces.

American Steel Carports does not do any concrete work, but we do offer our customers recommendations for concrete foundations. This a good example of one of our customers in Portales, New Mexico:

• 22′ x 26′ x 10′

• A-Frame Horizontal Roof

• 14-Gauge Galvanize Tubing

• 3 – 9×7 Roll-Up Doors (2 on left side, 1 on right side)

• 36×80 Walk-In Door (front end)

• 12′ x 26′ x 10’/8′ Lean-To

• Continuous Roof

• 25′ Double Bar Header (for Lean-To)

*DISCLAIMER: Headers may vary upon county regulations or snow loads. Prices are subject to change at any time without notice. Please contact our sales department for our latest prices.*

If you have any specific requirements, don’t hesitate to let our sales representatives know. Together we can develop your ideas and make them come true. We can create sketches to help you fully visualize them and make sure that every little detail has been taken care of.

We also offer financing! Click here to check the requirements and see our applications, or give us a call to get more information. You can keep up with our most recent installs if you click on our blog section.

Simple, Small, but Resistant

Posted on April 25, 2017 by - ASI, Blog, Customer Builds, Questions, Steel Structures

 

At American Steel Carports, we want our buildings to meet all your needs and expectations. We can accommodate your specific requirements, especially when it comes to building permits. We can add as much material as it takes to get the unit fully protected and certified to the requirements of the city.

It is important that you talk to your local building department to verify all the state codes, because not all states or even cities within a state have the same ones.

 

 

What if you need extra spacing on the sides?

 

Our buildings come with specific numbers of legs to withstand the wind and other elements. But that doesn’t mean there’s nothing we can do to customize to your needs. Here is a notable example of a carport for a customer who decided to add two headers to the sides for extra spacing or to park a small vehicle:

 

• 10’W x 21’L x 8’H

• 12-Gauge galvanized tubing

• A-Frame Vertical Roof (Earth Brown)

• 2 – 9′ Header (one on each side)

• Concrete Anchors (90-mph wind warranty)

 

 

The outcome was beautiful, and the colors matched the house and the environment. Please be aware that headers will reduce the side opening height by approximately 6″ – 24″ depending on state codes and length of the header. We will have to reinforce the structure with extra material in order to provide durability.

 

You can come up with your own ideas. If you have a project in mind, don’t hesitate to give us a call! A sales representative will go over the project with you so that we can find just the metal building you’re looking for. We can also draw sketches to ensure that customization and features, such as doors, windows, gables, siding, and headers, are in the right places before you make your final decision.

 

You can also check out our other blogs for more buildings and valuable information, and you can visit our product page to look for different designs and ideas.

Metal Building with a Lean-To

Posted on April 17, 2017 by - A-Frame Horizontal, ASI, Blog, Customer Builds, Questions, Steel Structures

Additional Extensions to Your Metal Storage Building

Lean-tos are very handy when it comes to additions. They don’t just offer protection—they can also serve as extra space or a small carport for your vehicle! Most of our customers prefer a 3-foot or larger drop on their lean-tos, but remember that it’s your choice how to enhance your metal building!

Types of Lean-Tos:

We offer two different styles when it comes to lean-tos. The first one is the regular drop lean-to. As explained earlier, this lean-to has a gap from the original height, coming down to whichever height you prefer.

The second style is a continuous lean-to, which means that there’s no gap in between the first height from the second one. You can see the sample of a continuous lean-to below:

What Makes American Steel Carports Different?

Unlike other companies, we provide the right number of trusses in order to protect our metal buildings from the environment. However, we also recommend that you acquire our concrete, mobile home, or asphalt anchors in order to avoid disastrous situations. Another of our features is that we count with a variety of sizes when it comes to roll-up and overhead doors.

Here is a great example of a metal building with a continuous lean-to.

  • 26’W x 31’L x 11’H
  • 14-Gauge Galvanized Tubing
  • A-Frame Horizontal Roof
  • 36″ x 72″ Walk-In Door (on the side)
  • 18 x 9 Roll-Up Door
  • 12 x 30 x 8 Continuous Lean-To
  • A-Frame Horizontal Roof
  • (1) Full Side

American Steel Carports will take care of the delivery and installation of your metal building on your level site or concrete slab. We want to make sure that our buildings meet your expectations and needs. Remember that you can always give us a call for more information. One of our sales representatives will assist you and answer any questions you might have about our buildings. You can also check our other blogs for more important information and images of buildings that we’ve recently installed.

Customization is the key to success when it comes to metal buildings. With many ideas and designs to choose from, we let our customer decide and create their own.

 

Whether your surface is gravel, regular ground, or concrete, we advise a level site for a firm, steady building. Our installers may not install your building if it can’t be anchored to the ground—they won’t leave you with an insecure installation.

 

We urge you to consider purchasing our anchors. When you purchase all the anchors needed to secure your building, you get a warranty covering dislocation from wind of up to 90-mph! You don’t have to purchase our anchors and get this warranty, but consider the risks. Click here to see an unfortunate example.

 

Whether you choose a metal garage or a simple carport, you should strongly consider our anchors to avoid disastrous situations. With our anchors, your garage will stand strong against extreme weather.

 

Speaking of garages, take a look at this 24 x 41 x 9:

 

 

 • A-Frame Horizontal Roof

 

 • 2 – 10 x 8 Roll-Up Door

 

 • 36″ x 80″ Walk-In Door

 

•  Window

 

 

 

Our A-Frame Horizontal roof gives our metal garages a unique residential style. The roof might look simple, but it’s strong enough to last for many years. Our buildings are designed to exceed your needs and comply with state codes. If you’re not sure what kind of building is ideal for you, don’t hesitate to call us. Our sales reps are happy to assist you with any questions or concerns.
