Their are many reasons to consider buying a metal building from American Steel Carports. Many times, when purchasing a new house with a garage it can be overly priced, why not consider buying it separately. There are many advantages that come when you buy a carport or garage.

Here are some of the few advantages that you are getting when purchasing a metal building of your own.

Quick and Easy

Most importantly the construction process of a metal building is fast. Furthermore, metal is a very strong and durable material. They are constructed easier and faster from constructions of alternative materials mainly because the sections or panels are pre-built from sheets of metal. The sections are easily transported and assembled, and your metal garage can be erected in a matter of days or weeks, not months

Adds Value

A garage will add value to your property if you are thinking about the future, something good to know, especially when it’s a large investment.

Less Money Cost

Metal garage buildings are inexpensive constructions that offer many advantages, with costs much lower compared to concrete blocks, wood, or brick construction. They are affordable, cost-effective, and structurally-sound structures. In addition, the construction cost is lower which is an additional saving.

Easier Maintenance

Metal buildings are easier to maintain, they require less maintenance and if the garage has the right coating and paint you will not have to re-paint it for years. The cleaning process is also easier.

Environmental Friendliness

Metal garage buildings are environmentally friendly as metal is a green product and the material is fully recyclable.

They also are very customizable, meaning they give you a variety of different ways to adjust it and give it your own touch. American Steel Carports offers a variety of styles, sizes, roofing options, door options, etc., so there is a wide variety of options to choose from so you can have the perfect metal garage building for your needs.

It’s Time For A New Project

For some people, purchasing a carport from scratch means a new project to learn how to build a carport. For others it may be a chance to improve their do it yourself (DIY) or building skills. Even though our professional installers are delighted to build your homemade carport for you, here at American Carports we understand the excitement a new building project brings for some of our customers.

Even though this might be a discount for some it could also cause a hassle for others. We give two options on that matter. One option is for us to provide all the material and you can pick it up or we could also deliver the material all the way to your home. The discount will depend on your location. This is a great option to consider when you have the ability to build it for yourself or if it’s a small and simple project. Just in case you get stuck in some steps we also do provide an installation manual.

Building your own carport can have its pros and cons. Putting up your carport together brings the satisfaction of a job well done. For many other people it can also make you feel safer knowing that you have done everything correctly and more firm. As fun as it may seem, sometimes you might get stuck in-between the process and causes to leave the project halfway done. This might not seem like the solution, especially after all the money you have spent. Also with us giving you that option, it avoids the warranties that we include when we build the building for you.

For example, this 12’W x 21’L x 7’H was a self install order from California. As you can see it seems like a quick and easy installation, resulting in a discounted price for this customer. You can save some money, but we always recommend to always rather be safe than sorry.

Important Factors to Consider Before Investing in a Building

April 15, 2019/in ASI, Blog, Buildings, Carports, Custom, Customer Builds, Informative, Lifestyle, Questions, Steel Structures /by clickgiant

Many companies will try to get you to buy a carport, but there are many things you should consider before doing so. We all have to put consideration to our location and weather when it comes to choosing a structure. Sometimes it will even require a little research. Here are four of the most important factors to consider before investing in a building.

1. Pricing

Plenty of people habitually price-check their purchases, especially if it’s a large purchase that will serve as an investment. An investment is something that will benefit us in the long run, not just immediately. It’s important to consider a budget or price range for these bigger purchases. It all depends on the features you need and how long it’s going to last. One way to feel less pressured when considering an investment is by looking at all the options available. Here at American Steel Carports, we have two options for purchasing buildings aside from payment in full: financing or the rent to own option.

2. Building Regulations

Some cities require a permit in order for installation. Sometimes this can cause problems, especially if you find out at the last minute. To prevent this situation, it’s important to know what are the requirements in your area prior to buying a unit. For a permit, you will need the specifics of your new building, which ASCI can supply for free. With some cities, you will need draws and calcs, and those do come with an additional charge separately from your building.

3. Stability

Stability is also another big factor to consider. When you make a purchase, quality should always be important. There is a chance that you might find some high-quality things available at cheaper prices, but for the most part, price is a good indicator of quality. It’s always better to stay on the safe side. Why buy something cheaper when the more expensive option will last twice as long? At ASCI, we provide two different types of materials and we will always suggest the best for you as our customer. All of our buildings are engineer-certified, so you can be certain that your building is made to last.

4. Meeting Your Needs

Do you know what exactly you’re looking for? It’s okay if you don’t. We understand that with all the different styles of buildings, sometimes it’s hard to decide. We have lots of options, so it all depends on what exactly you’re looking for. Protection for your car? A game room? A workshop? We have all of those!
Here are some of the features we provide that you can modify:
• Dimensions: Width x Length x Height
• Color: We provide 12 different colors at no extra charge.
• Roof type:
◦ Standard – this roof comes with the rounded corners on the ends
◦ A-frame Horizontal – sheet metal runs horizontally
◦ A-frame Vertical – panels run from the peak towards the sides. This is our sturdier roof that lets water, snow, or dirt run down the roof rather than piling up and potentially causing a collapse.

If you have any other questions about any of this information, call us at 866-730-9865 and get one of our professionals to help you.

Is One Not Enough? How About Two?

March 13, 2019/in ASI, Blog, Carports, Customer Builds, Lifestyle, Our Specialty, RV Carports, Standard, Steel Structures /by clickgiant

If you’re at the point where the width of the building you need is surpassing your budget, you might want to consider two separate buildings instead. American Steel Carports is here to provide you with buildings that will serve your needs with high-quality materials for an unbeatable price!

We always like to help our customers reduce the price of any metal building without sacrificing space. An important factor of a building’s price is the increase in length compared to width. Although our metal buildings can go as wide as 80’, extra-wide structures like these can come with a high price. However, when you decide to increase in length, instead of width, you can save yourself a lot of money. The other option is to obtain a second unit with the exact same specs. This can also save money in comparison to increasing width.

Another advantage of staying within 30’ wide is that once a unit surpasses 30’ wide, it needs to be installed on a concrete pad, due to the increased weight of material used. See how two metal buildings can save you some money? Don’t believe us? Well, let us show you this customer who decided to get two identical carports for his heavy-duty equipment, each one measuring 30’W x 21’L x 12’H:

12-Guage Galvanized Tubing
Standard Roof
Diagonal Bracing
(2) Extras Trusses

All our metal units are engineer-certified and ready to withstand anything that mother nature will throw their way! Curious about the price? Give us a call to speak with one of our experts. We can help you customize your unit and stay in budget! Ask for your local dealer when you call.

Within the past few months, we’ve seen how the weather can be so unpredictable. An unexpected storm can come right at us at any time, especially during the transition of the seasons.

12-Gauge Galvanized Tubing
(2) 10’x8′ Roll-Up Doors

18’ x 25’ x 8’ Steel Shed

February 20, 2019/in A-Frame Vertical, ASI, Blog, Buildings, Customer Builds, Garage, Lifestyle, Steel Structures, Workshop /by clickgiant

Have a project in mind? Not sure when your pad would be ready? Maybe you just need some time to visualize your project. Whatever scenario best describes your situation, American Steel Carports is here to take care of your needs!

When it comes to protecting your belongings, you want to make sure that you work with a company that will provide you with the best quality materials available and stands behind their product. American Steel Carports offers you a one-year workmanship warranty that will allow your steel structure to go through all four seasons. Because of this, you can definitely say that we stand behind our product (lol).

With the bad weather all over the country, you do not want to take any chances when it comes to your precious belongings. With 20 years of experience in the carport industry, we know exactly how to create long-lasting metal buildings that will withstand anything that mother nature throws at them. Take a look at this sturdy 18’W x 25’L x 8’H steel shed:

A-Frame Vertical Roof
12-Gauge Galvanized Tubing
9’x7′ Roll-Up Door
(2) 30″x30″ Windows
36″x80″ Walk-In Door

American Steel Carports can do any size according to your needs and requirements. For this particular building, our customer decided on a base of 24’L and a roof length of 25’.

Now you might be wondering, why the one-foot difference? On this 18’ x 25’ structure, the frame of the building itself will be 18’ x 24’ due to the 6” overhang on the roof. In other words, the roof is always one foot longer than the frame.

Want to know the price? Give us a call at (866) 730-9865 to speak with one of our experts. If you’d like to change the dimensions of this building, let us know! All of our units are customized per order. And don’t forget to ask about our financing options!
