Garages! Garages! And More Garages!

 

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.

Workshop time!

It’s been three months since the new year began and so far, workshops top the list of the most bought structures this year. With the great quality materials we offer, it’s no wonder that our customers buy our buildings again and again.

Our metal steel buildings can be used as workshops, man caves, or even garages! Depending on the features and options you add to your structure, you can customize it to create exactly the building you need.

So far the wind has been a concern for many states due to the inclement weather adapting itself to the beginning of the spring. Keep in mind that we can certify your metal building in order to withstand those strong winds and harsh weather conditions.

Take a look at this 30′ x 51′ x 12′ metal building used as a workshop:

  • One-year Workmanship Warranty
  • A-Frame Vertical Roof
  • 2 – 10 x 10 Roll-Up Doors  (on the side)
  • 2 – Windows

The Importance of Having Mobile Home/Asphalt/Concrete Anchors

Posted on March 10, 2017 by - ASI, Blog, News/Press, Questions, Videos

“Why do I need a wind warranty? Nothing happens here anyway! The anchors are an unnecessary expense! I’ll just stick with the rebar anchors.”

 

These are some of the comments that we hear all the time. However, strong winds can always catch us by surprise, especially at the start of summer. It’s better to stay safe than be sorry later on.

 

One of the things you must know is that we do offer free rebar anchors (measuring 30”), but those are only temporary—they don’t come with any type of warranty. That’s why is important for you to consider one of our three other anchor choices that will prevent any type of damage to your carport.

 

We offer both asphalt and mobile home anchors (both measuring 30”) for $25.00 each. Both of these types of anchors stick up 2/5 inches off the ground (the same as the base rail). We also offer concrete anchors (measuring 7”) for $10.00 each.

 

Here are two examples of why it is so important for you to consider purchasing anchors instead of getting our free rebar ones:

 

 

 

 

 

 

It might seem as if the anchors would not make a difference, but they do, especially in the southern areas of the country.

 

 

Nobody but you knows the exact wind scenarios of your area. If you’re not sure about your wind concerns, you can always go to your local building department for more detailed information. Remember, we’re here to help! If you want us to certify your metal building for winds above 90 mph, let us know! We will have our engineering department help build your metal carport or metal garage to withstand those winds.

 

Give us a call! A sales representative will assist you with all of your questions and doubts. And don’t forget to look at our other products for more ideas or check our blog posts for examples of recent buildings.

 

 

Ready For the Summer with Your Future Metal AG Barn?

Posted on March 3, 2017 by - ASI, Blog, Customer Builds, Product Reviews, Questions, Steel Structures

Let the summer season begin!

 

Today can be the appropriate time to start looking for a metal building that will protect your livestock from the burning sun. Most southern regions tend to be affected by high seasonal temperatures, so it’s very important to keep your livestock safe and protected from that heat.

 

What about strong winds?

 

We can certify your metal building to stand against inclement weather. The pricing will vary depending on your area, since some regions might receive stronger winds than others. However, we believe that it’s better to add protection and be safe at all times.

 

How can a unit get certified for winds?

 

As mentioned above, it all depends on which region you’re located in. To ensure the specific wind rates, it is necessary to contact your city or visit your local city building department. Moving forward, the main protection is the addition of extra anchors. Remember, we do offer rebar anchors (temporary anchors) for free, but they do not offer any type of guarantee. For security against up to 90-mph winds, it’s far better to get our mobile home, asphalt, or concrete anchors. If you expect winds that are even stronger than 90 mph, we can add more supports and anchors to engineer certify your building up to 120 mph.

 

With all of this valuable information, you don’t have to worry! You can choose the type of carport and design that you like the most without having to think about the weather. This customer in Loving, New Mexico decided to get a 48’W x 31’L x 12/7’H  agricultural metal building:

 

 

 

 

 

We want to hear your questions or concerns! One of our customer service representatives will be happy to listen to you. Not sure what kind of building you want for your property? Check out our other buildings and blogs for more information. You can start the whole process with a simple call!

14′ Tall Metal Carport

Posted on February 25, 2017 by - ASI, Blog, Carports, Custom, Customer Builds, News/Press, Product Reviews, Steel Structures

Looking for a simple carport for your RV? Does your RV overpass the 12-foot standard height from the flyers?

At American Steel Carports, we ensure that our metal buildings meet all of your expectations and needs. We can accommodate your requirements, especially when it comes to building permits. Keep in mind that we can add as much material as your unit needs in order to make sure it’s fully protected and certified for the requirements of the city. However, it’s important for you to go to your local building department and talk to them in order to verify all of the state codes. Since all of the states have different requirements when it comes to installations, they might need to see plans or specifics.

When our customers look for metal RV covers, they can be concerned when the leg height that they’re looking for isn’t listed on the pricing flyers. But that doesn’t mean that we cannot go taller than 12 feet; in fact, the tallest we can go on a building is 20 feet in height. However, keep in mind that the leg height cannot exceed the width of the unit.

Take this metal carport as an example. It’s 14 feet tall:

  • 30’W x 41’L x 14’H
  • 12-Gauge Galvanized Tubing
  • A-Frame Vertical Roof

All of our metal units are engineer-certified, and with their one-year workmanship warranty, we allow our buildings to go through all four seasons to make sure that they don’t have any leaks or issues.

Give us a call! If wind and/or snow loads are your main concerns, don’t forget to ask our representatives about our wind warranties and how we can certify your unit when it comes to large amounts of snow.

Converting Your Metal Building Into a Workshop

Posted on February 17, 2017 by - ASI, Blog, Customer Builds, Questions

 

Workshop spaces have never been in such a high demand as they are now. At American Steel Carports, we like to provide our customers with high-quality materials and deliver a great experience when it comes to installations.

 

 

Among the two different types of garage doors that we offer (roll-up doors and overhead doors) and the sizes they come in, it’s important to understand one requirement of the units. When a roll-up door exceeds 10’ in width, it has to be chain-hoisted. Because this means that these doors will close from the inside (which is a fire hazard), the units of all doors that are bigger than 10’ x 10’ must also have a walk-in door or another way to get in and out.

 

 

Check out this 30’ x 41’ x 12’ steel building used as a workshop with a 12’ x 12’ roll-up door. You can clearly see the chain hoist and the walk-in door that has been added to the side of the building to increase access.

 

 

• 30’W x 41’L x 12’H

• 12-Gauge Galvanized Tubing

• A-Frame Vertical Roof

• 12′ x 12′ Roll-Up Door

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

• 30″ x 30″ Window (on the side)

• 90-mph Wind Warranty

 

 

 

Our priorities are to give you a durable and strong metal building, but we also want to meet your expectations. Remember, the building is completely yours, so you’re welcome to customize it as much as you like, placing features such as doors and windows at your desired locations.

 

 

Remember that we offer a one-year workmanship warranty, allowing your building to go through all four seasons before the warranty expires. You can protect your investment by making sure that it’s well-constructed and safe all year round.

 

 

If you have any questions or you’re not sure about what type of carport you should get, please don’t hesitate to give us a call. One of our sales representatives will be more than happy to assist you with any inquiries. Also, don’t forget to check our triple-wide units for more information and designs that can help you explore your ideas.

 

 

Fully Vertical Garage

Posted on February 7, 2017 by - ASI, Blog, Customer Builds, Product Reviews

Durability and easy maintenance are what our metal buildings are best known for. With more than 16 years of experience, we know exactly how to make our buildings last a long time. If wind and snow loads are your main concerns, then you’ve come to the right place.

 

Among the many styles we offer, there’s a special one that we recommend to all our customers: the vertical style. When the panels run vertically, they let water, dirt, and snow run off easily. This type of roof is highly recommended in snowy areas. Our buildings are certified for 20–25 SPF, but don’t forget to check with your building department about snow-load requirements; if your city requires more, we can certify it by adding more trusses.

 

Our A-frame roofs come in a residential style too, so if you happen to live in the city or the suburbs, our buildings will blend in with the neighborhood. Keep in mind that vertical siding buildings have the advantage of allowing insulation to be added.

 

 

Take a look at this garage in Artesia, New Mexico:

 

• 30’W x 31’L x 12’H

 

• 12-Gauge Galvanized Tubing

 

• 2 – 10′ x 10′ Roll-Up Doors

 

• 36″ x 80″ Walk-In Door (side)

 

• Fully Vertical

 

• 90-mph Wind Warranty (20 Concrete Anchors)

 

 

The garage comes with a 20-year warranty on rust-through of the framing, because it’s built from 12-gauge galvanized tubing. Another feature is the concrete anchors that we offer. Keep in mind that you can also get our 90-mph wind warranty if you purchase all the anchors required. The placement of doors is optional: they can go on the ends or on the sides. Remember that if the roll-up door goes on the side, the leg height needs to be at least one foot taller than the door.

 

 

We care for your needs, and it’s our responsibility to offer you high-quality service. We recommend to our customers what’s best for them. If you don’t know how to get started with your quote, simply give us a call! One of our sales representatives will help you with all your questions.

Partially Enclosed Building

Posted on January 27, 2017 by - ASI, Blog, Customer Builds, News/Press

 

When you’re looking to purchase a metal building, your first concern is the durability of the unit. But you also need a way to offer protection to your belongings, your vehicle, or whatever else you’ll keep inside. With all those factors in mind, it’s not easy to trust just any company. That’s why the best option for you is American Steel Carports.

 

With more than 16 years of experience, we know exactly how to deliver a great experience and meet all your expectations. Unlike wood, steel can be easily manipulated. We can customize our buildings to any size, according to your needs and specifications. And that’s not to mention that steel is one of the strongest metals there is.

 

We offer a variety of designs that you can choose from. Most of these were created by our own customers, in fact, and they can give you a clear idea of what we’re capable of. Remember, your requirements are our priority.

 

Take as an example this 24’W x 36’L x 8’H unit:

 

• A-Frame Vertical Roof

 

• 3 Sided Unit

 

• 2 – 36″ x 80″ Walk-In Door

 

• 9′ x 7′ Roll-Up Door (on the side)

 

• Front Gable

 

• 90 Mph Wind Warranty

 

 

This is a unique building. Although our customer didn’t describe its special use, it’s probably for storing farm equipment. Because the building uses 12-gauge galvanized tubing, it comes with a 20-year limited warranty on rust-through of the framing. If you live in an area where snow is an annual concern, then an A-Frame vertical roof is the indicated style for you. Because the panels run from the peak toward the eaves, vertical roofs offer a smooth way for water, snow, dirt, and debris to run off easily.

 

We are here to help! Give us a call, and one of our team members will be happy to help you figure out the price of the building you have in mind. We can also provide you with general information about our buildings.
