Fort Worth Stock Show

Fort Worth Stock Show 2015

Cowtown buzzed with excitement from January 16 through February  as the annual Fort Worth Stock Show & Rodeo commenced its 119th exhibit at the Will Rogers Memorial Center. This 23-day extravaganza hit off successfully breaking the 2012 record of 1,166,000 attendees. The surprisingly warm winter months allowed the show to break a handful of other records as well.

 

Over 20,000 head of livestock participated in the spectacle with exhibitors representing 41 states and 3 foreign countries. The Stock Show provided and continues to provide livestock participants with thousands of grant and scholarship money, having awarded more than $20,000,000. Apart from encouraging youthful agricultural activity participation, this non-profit organization strives to promote and improve the livestock and agriculture industry. Families got the opportunity to attend livestock shows, enjoy live music, eat delicious food, and do some unique shopping. Sprawled across the Amon G. Carter and Brown-Lupton Exhibit halls, and cattle barns, a diverse array of booths attracted visitors, including our “Big Red Barn” exhibition display. Famous country FM radio station 95.9 The Ranch, who paired up with us, also attracted many visitors. Our representatives were equipped with information answering any questions clients had about our products. Weekly raffles were held and top-notch prizes were given to lucky customers, as well as lots of small freebies.

Our remarkable Big Red Barn was hard to miss in the shopping arena. Check out the pictures of the 2015 Fort Worth Stock Show and our youtube video of the installation by clicking here.

Scheduling & Delivery Process of Carports & Metal Buildings

Due to some confusion with customers, American Steel Carports would like to share some information on how we go about delivering buildings to our customers. We hope that this will help improve our level of transparency and help you understand how we are able to provide high quality products with free installation for the low prices that you love. Below we have broken down the whole scheduling and delivery process.

 

Scheduling

 

The first step in getting our orders together is grouping orders by location. Locations are no more than about 60-80 miles and are grouped together to what we call a “run.” American Steel Carport’s schedulers encounter vast challenges in organizing and arranging a run. Oldest orders are prioritized with other considerations such as order size, route, weather, and other factors. Our highly trained installers require at least a total of $10,000 worth of buildings to be on a run in order for them to accept it. The run will typically be scheduled for two days either Mondays/Tuesdays or Thursdays/Fridays. Your scheduler will give every customer a day and a time window in which the installer should arrive. We give general time frames to allow for unexpected delays in the arrival of the installers (i.e. Flat tires, Traffic, Bad weather, etc.).  Unfortunately, these are events that we cannot prevent.

 

Delivery

 

As mentioned earlier, unknown factors can come up during the delivery process. These factors can include the following:

 

  • –  Customer delays
  • –  Installation Issues
  • –  Equipment Issues
  • –  Weather
  • –  Health of Crew

 

Due to the above factors, American Steel Carports recommends our customers to set aside 24 hours of their time to allow for any unexpected issues. In case of a delay in the run, your scheduler will contact you with a new time-frame. If original time-frame was late afternoon, the delay can possibly be until next morning depending on the degree of the delay.

 

As you can see the process is very dynamic. The good news is that the average of the runs that encounter a delay are about 2-3% of total runs in a week. Unfortunately, that 2-3% percent is what causes the majority of poor reviews and complaints. Everyone values their time and delays are an inconvenience to all. For that reason, we hope our series of blogs will help provide invaluable information to our customers so they are knowledgeable and understand our product and processes but most importantly, be satisfied!

 

Versatile. Strong. Built to Last.

5 Things to Consider When Buying a Carport

Since their initial appearance back in the early 1900’s, carports have had a substantial high demand in the market. Because the industry has grown a little more complex, consumers have to put more thought into who and what they are buying from, especially with the abundant number of carport businesses sprawled across the nation. From car coverage and protection to workshop areas, the uses of these metal buildings are limitless. However, there are a few things customers should consider before buying their own carport, from quality to the work ethic of the business.

 

The process of purchasing a product should run smoothly and be an excellent experience from the sale representatives and the manufacturer to the customer service and installation process. We want you to be satisfied with your decision. That’s why we’ve created a list of important things to consider when buying a carport.

 

1. You must decide if you want to purchase your building from a local or online dealer. Although some business do not sell directly to customers. Many of our clients buy our carports from local dealerships, which are surrounded by one or more of our demo displays, which give you an up and personal glimpse. However, you can also contact us directly by calling our shops located in Texas, Pennsylvania, Illinois, and Ohio, which service more than half the states of the nation.

2. Take note on what you are looking for. Perhaps you simply need space to park your car or need a larger building to store large capacity vehicles. We offer different roof and carport styles that will better suit your needs and satisfactions.  Our knowledge staff can give you suggestions if you have any doubts regarding your choices.

3. Prior to choosing a carport location, check your local code specifications. It is important to consider your area’s building permit laws: you might need a permit to have a building on your property. The geographical of your structure location should be elevated. Prior to installation make sure you have the flooring prepared-whether it’d be concrete, wood, or plain ground.

 4. Clients should also consider who they are purchasing from. With the multitude of carport manufacturers across the country, there are various to choose from. However, not all are reliable and trustworthy. Often times businesses repeatedly run the wrong order or continuously run late, thus delaying customer installation delivery dates. American Steel strives to make the process a smooth one- from the moment we receive your call all the way through installation. We strive to keep our customers satisfied and try to quickly resolve issues, if any.

5. Consider investing in any additional add-ons. We offer skylights that allow the sun to shine through your structure, dismissing the hassle of electric costs and hassle. Depending on the flooring we also provide concrete, asphalt, and wood anchors for extra reinforcement that will maintain your carport secure.

 

We aim to keep our clients satisfied and content before, during, and after installation day. If you order a product from our company, you will receive engineered certified steel structures and free shipping and installation. With these services included in the deal you won’t have to worry about transportation issues or construction. Our buildings will last for years, so we know you need a company who will be there for you, who will support the product you purchased and who will stand behind it. This is what sets us different from the rest. Choose your carport manufacturer wisely.

 

Outdoor Storage Buildings: American Steel Carports Inc

Do you have enough room on your property to store all of your belongings? It’s becoming all too common that people have too much stuff and not enough space. Rather than paying a business to store your things month after month, why not take matters into your own hands by adding an outdoor storage building onto your property? With affordable prices and sturdy construction, American Steel Carports, Inc. offers a wide range of outdoor storage solutions to meet your needs.

Use our Build & Price Tool to customize your structure, view a 3-D rendering,and receive an instant quote!

Plenty of Options

Outdoor storage buildings are not a one-size-fits-all situation. Your needs are unique, and you need to pick a structure that is going to serve you well both now and in the future. By shopping with us, you’re able to pick from several different types of buildings. You can also customize these buildings as you see fit with our Build & Price Tool,which will ensure your structure will look right at home on your property.

To help you get started on this project, view some of our top outdoor storage buildings from American Steel Carports, Inc. below.

Traditional Carports

If you don’t need storage that is fully protected from the weather, a standard Steel Carport will be a great fit. Whatever you store under the carport will enjoy some protection from rain and snow, but the sides will be open to provide you with easy access to your items. In addition to offering easy access, standard carports also come with the notable benefit of a modest price tag.

Within this category, you’ll find that we have many different types of carports available. A basic model with a horizontal roof will be the most cost-effective, but it also does not deal with precipitation as well as a vertical roof orientation. For added stability and a refined look, consider an A-Frame roof. Whatever you choose, when you work with American Steel Carports, Inc., you can be confident that your structure is built to a high standard of quality.

Steel RV Carports

RV owners know that storing their rigs out of the weather as much as possible is good for their long-term condition. That’s why we offer affordable Steel RV Carports for those hoping to prevent rain and snow from affecting their motor home throughout the winter.

RV carports are taller than standard carports to accommodate the size of these types of vehicles. In addition to standard open-sided carports in this category, we also have models that have partial sides and even fully enclosed designs that will keep all the weather away.

Steel Barns

Storage needs that are related to agricultural work may require a barn structure. However, traditional wood barns can be costly and may take an extended period of time to construct. If time and money are both a factor, or if you just prefer the performance benefits of steel over wood, select one of our many Steel Barn options. These large buildings can be designed to make space for all of your equipment and supplies, so speak with a member of our team for help settling on the perfect design.

Enclosed Steel Garages

Much of what can be accomplished in a traditional carport can also be achieved with an Enclosed Steel Garage, with the added advantage of sealing out the weather completely. If you have storage items that need to be kept away from the elements, this is perfect structure for the task.

You may have considered adding an enclosed garage in the past only to find that it was going to be too expensive. However, you should revisit the possibility with American Steel Carports, Inc. Our structures are high-quality and affordable, and you’ll have the ability to design it exactly to your liking.

Bring Your Vision to Life

The great thing about working with American Steel Carports, Inc. is that your new building doesn’t have to fit neatly into any of the categories listed above. If you decide to custom design a structure to provide storage on your property, you can make it into nearly anything you can imagine, as long as it is approved by an engineer. That means you might take elements from various categories to produce a building that is perfect for your unique requirements.
