Steel Wide Span Buildings

Posted on July 15, 2016 by - ASI, Blog, Customer Builds, News/Press

American Steel Carports has been the leading steel carport manufacturer in its industry time and time again, serving over 30 states and specializing in steel structures such as garages, lean-tos, and mini storages. It’s no wonder why customers recognize our steel buildings all over the United States. American Steel Carport’s is constantly pushing steel buildings to the next level—but did you know that American Steel Carports has the skills and manpower to build industrial-sized steel wide buildings? Our industrial-sized steel wide buildings are standard-built in widths of between 32-40 ft. and lengths of up to 50 ft. However, our steel wide span units can be built up to an impressive 80 ft. wide and a sky-scraping 20 ft. in leg height, most often requiring the use of machinery.* If that wasn’t impressive enough, our wide spans can be made to meet almost any length specifications. Because of our wide span framing systems, we make it easy for you to add future extensions to your steel buildings as your needs grow.

 

 

American Steel Carports’ metal wide spans are made in both our 12 and 14-gauge acrylic-coated galvanized C/Z tubing, ensuring that they have the strongest frames possible. They are built with our heavy duty A-frame vertical roof as an only option. When enclosing a wide span unit, you will notice that the side and end panels are also installed vertically. This style will give your structure maximum strength.

 

 

When a customer decides to place an order for a wide span building, however, there are a few things that they should know. First, all wide spans must be installed on concrete piers, slabs, or footers. There are a number of reasons why this is required, but the main one is to ensure the durability and longevity of the structure’s placement. Although American Steel Carports does not pour concrete or do any concrete work, we staff the most educated engineers in the industry, and they will always be happy to assist you with any questions as well as offer recommendations regarding your foundation. In addition, from our experiences with installing large units, customers who purchase wide span buildings will most likely be required to obtain construction permits. Although American Steel Carports leaves the responsibility of contacting their local code enforcement to its customers, our company will make it easy for you to obtain a copy of the generic plans or certified blueprints of your structure.**

 

 

From steel mini storages to metal wide spans, no size is too small or too big. Let American Steel Carports be your number one choice for your next project. Protect your heavy duty equipment or expand your business with an American Steel wide span unit today.

*Customers will be charged an additional fee for the rental of heavy duty equipment.

 

**Generic plans are offered to customers at no charge once a deposit has been made. However, certified blueprints will have a fee for their composition and calculations.

Hunting Blinds Benefits and Tips

Posted on July 12, 2016 by - ASI, Blog, Product Reviews

The start of hunting season is just a few short months away. So as summer starts to slip away slowly, it is a good time for you avid hunters to start putting together your game plan like scouting locations and gathering your gear.

 

From your firearms to your clothing, there are some items that you undoubtedly need in your arsenal to be successful. However, to be more efficient this upcoming hunting season, it might be wise to invest in a tower hunting blind.

 

Hunting blinds come in many different types. Whether it’s homemade, made of wood or steel, they can make your hunting excursions more successful and provide you with many other benefits.

 

Benefits of Using a Hunting Blind

 

Hunting blinds are important for any hunter as they help to:

 

…Camouflage You

As a hunter, you know the importance of camouflaging yourself from the animals you hunt. While you can go the traditional route of hiding in bushes or foliage, you have to think about your scent as well. With a tower hunting blind, you conceal your body, scent, and detract any noise that can work against you.

…Provide Open Terrain

Usually, when hunting deer, it is in an open area. This makes it a bit harder to conceal yourself and significantly limits your range. With a hunting blind, you practically have a 360-degree view that opens up the terrain more. This allows you to shoot at better angles for a better success rate.

…Protect You from the Elements

Avid hunters understand that since there are certain timeframes where hunting is not prohibited, the show must go on no matter the elements. With a tower hunting blind, no matter if there’s rain, sleet or snow, you will be able to withstand the elements and hunt to your heart’s desire.

Hunting Blind Tips

 

*Place your hunting blind in its designated area early before hunting season even starts. This gives the deer in the area the opportunity to get more comfortable with the blind and not find it so suspicious.

 

*Remember that you need to fit comfortably in your blind along with your firearms. This is why it is important to ensure your blind is large enough beforehand. This is especially true for archers because you don’t want your bow to bump against things when you are drawing it.

 

*Practice is so important, therefore, you should practice preparing your shot from the blind. You should also practice installing and dismantling the blind to ensure it is done correctly and is sturdy.

3 Reasons You Need a Supplemental Carport for Your Garage

Posted on June 30, 2016 by - ASI, Blog

For many, an attached garage at your home can serve a lot of purposes for you and your family. Not only does it house your car(s) when not in use, but also as a place to store miscellaneous home and garden items. However, after years and years, those items can pile up and force your car right out of its living space. This problem is fairly popular which is why there are so many homeowners choosing to supplement their attached garage with a custom carport.

 

Did You Know That Free Delivery and Installation Come with All American Steel Carports? Call Us at (866) 471-8761 to Learn More.

 

If you have found yourself in this situation, adding a carport in front of your garage is ideal. And even if you don’t have this problem, adding a supplemental carport is still great for many other uses too.

 

Having A Supplemental Carport Can Provide…

 

Additional Covered Parking for Your Guests

If you have a garage, your car is securely tucked away safely. However, when you have guests over, they usually will have to park in your driveway or on the street which leaves them exposed to the elements. This, in turn, means that anything they step in will likely get dragged into your home. So, if it is raining, get ready for your guests to come in with wet clothing and shoes. Oh, and don’t forget about the snow, too.

By adding a carport to the front of your garage, you provide you guests with covered parking that will protect them… and your floors.

More Privacy for Your Home

 

Besides the automobile protection and extra storage space, another major advantage of having an attached garage is the privacy. You can literally pull into your garage and no one will know you are at home. By adding a carport in the front of your garage, you extend the privacy you have down to the end of your driveway.

Extra Room for Your Growing Family

 

If you have children, you are always encouraged to think about the future and changes. One of those changes will come when your kids begin driving. As a family with limited garage space, you will eventually be faced with parking issues like who gets a spot in the garage and who doesn’t. With a supplement carport added to the front of your garage, you can eliminate these issues by allowing everyone in your household to have their own covered parking space.

Are you interested in getting a carport added to the front of your garage? How about a custom carport that will allow you to get the steel building of your dreams? At American Steel, we can make it happen.

What Dimensions Should I Use?

Posted on June 24, 2016 by - ASI, Blog, Questions

“What dimensions are you looking for?”

 

You freeze, and reply, “Well, for two small cars, big enough to fit a pick-up truck, just for a small RV.”

 

When it comes to measurements, one has to remain aware. . They  are really important in the creation of any type of construction ‒ especially when it comes to metal garages due to the protection of our vehicles .

 

American Steel Carports offers a variety of dimensions and customizations tailored to fit your needs. We can arrive at an idea of the sizes you need based on what you plan to use the unit for.  Our goal is to meet your expectations and work with the dimension you’re looking for‒that’s why we have brainstormed a handful of ideas and helpful solutions for the most common asked questions.

 

What type of vehicle do you own? We want to give enough space for your vehicle’s doors to open, especially if you are considering a metal garage or an enclosed metal building. Another essential factor to consider is the height of the building. There are vehicles who have big trunks, and by opening it completely, there’s the risk of the trunk hitting the roof of the building. In other words, extra space is required to better accommodate your prized possessions. .

 

Take an example of this pick-up truck and the dimension that best accommodates to:

 

 

Truck spacing

**Note: This is an approximation. If a truck has been customized or altered, the dimensions might vary. It’s better to have the exact measurements to have satisfactory results. **

 

 

Here is another example of a standard vehicle, and the dimensions that best fit it.

 

 

 

Car spacing

 

 

Width Dimension Approximation
12’ Single Vehicle
18’ 2 Compact Cars
20’ 2 Mid-Sized Cars
22’ 2 Trucks, Cars, or SUVs
24’ 2 Oversized or Full Trucks or Cars
26’ 3 Mid-Sized Trucks or Cars

 

 

American Steel Carports can work with any measures requested by our customers.  We aim to  exceed your expectations, and make sure you get exactly what you are looking for.
