Extra Advantages

/in , , , , , , , , /by

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.

Increase Your Property Value with American Steel Carports

/in , , , , , , , , , /by

Your house and land will probably be the most important investment you ever make. Keeping up and adding to the value is extremely important.

Upkeep on the house and property is an obvious way to retain the value of your investment, but there’s a way to improve your property value and get some additional functionality at the same time.

American Steel Carports are high-quality structural engineered buildings that are proven to last. Even having a permit to build a building can increase your property value.

While we’re talking about protecting investments, the second most important investment could be your car, and these buildings will protect your vehicles as well as adding property value.

This beauty of a building has an array of uses. It will obviously protect your vehicles, and it also features a porch on the side that can be a great gathering place. You can even pull the cars out, lift the roll-up doors, and have a birthday party or a Friday night hoe-down.

  • 20’W x 31’L x 10’H (main unit)
  • 12-Gauge Galvanized Tubing
  • A-Frame Vertical Roof
  • 10’W x 21’L x 8’/7’6” (Lean-to)
  • A-Frame Vertical Roof
  • (2) 10′ x 8′ Roll-up Doors (on the side)
  • (2) 36″ x 80″ Walk-in Door
  • (2) Windows

So the next time you stand out on your back porch and look over your land, just imagine the increase in property value, the protection for your cars, and last but not least the music you will play at your weekend get-togethers. American Steel Carports will work with you through the whole process to build the best building for your needs. Please don’t hesitate to give us a call.

Is One Not Enough? How About Two?

/in , , , , , , , , /by

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.

Protection No Matter the Size

/in , , , , , , , , /by

Metal sheds are an important addition to your property because they’ll keep your belongings protected. Farm equipment or working tools left sitting outside can be affected by the natural elements. That’s why it’s so important to maintain your belongings, including keeping them protected. American Steel Carports can help you build a metal shed or garage that meets your unique needs and specifications. And with 20 years of experience in the carport industry, our buildings are well-made and long-lasting.

Aside from the additional options we offer, such as colored screws, insulation, and skylights (to mention just a few), there are always the simple metal buildings that never fail. If you need any of those specific features, you’re more than welcome to add them, but you can always keep your building simple. Take this 20’W x 31’L x 9’H fully vertical in our clay and slate blue colors:

  • (1) 9’x7′ Roll-Up Door
  • (1) 36″x 80″ Walk-In Door
  • (1) Window (on the side)

One of the main advantages of a fully vertical building is the ability to fully insulate it. Insulation can only be installed on panels running vertically. Another advantage of fully vertical buildings is easy maintenance. Because the panels run vertically, it allows debris, water, snow, leaves, etc. to slide off easily.

Interested in the price? Give us a call now! Let one of our carport experts help you customize a metal building of your needs. Whether you need a personal storage room, a regular carport or a custom warehouse, we will stand behind our product. Don’t forget to ask about our financing options!

Disproving Myths About Metal Buildings

/in , , , , , /by

 

  • Are steel buildings flimsy or weak? Are they inferior to other types of buildings?

 

  1. If your knowledge of metal buildings is based solely on old barns made of corrugated tin and rusty scrap metal, then I understand these concerns. However, all of our buildings are engineer certified and constructed with high-quality galvanized steel that is precision cut and can come with an up to 20-year warranty.

 

  • Metals buildings look like they’re noisy. Are they?

 

  1. Not at all! In fact, installation dramatically cuts noise. With drywall-style walls, you could have the same silence that one would expect from a traditional home but with lower energy costs.

 

  • Does my metal building have a greater chance of being struck by lightning?

 

  1. I’ll explain, and you’ll hopefully feel better about owning a steel structure. Metal is a conductor, but it is a positive conductor to the earth. Any energy from a rare lightning strike would be dispersed over the entire roof and then channeled into the ground, thereby avoiding the costly issues that you would encounter from a wooden structure in the same situation.

 

  • Do all metal buildings rust?

 

  1. In order to prevent rust, our metal is coated with Galvalume before leaving the factory. Rust becomes an issue only when the material is damaged or scratched or when field-cut edges are not sealed before being placed. However, regularly recoating damaged areas decreases the possibility of developing rust.

 

  • Will my internet, cell-phone service, or TV service be disrupted by a metal building?

 

  1. Absolutely not! Electromagnetic waves pass around timber and spread out as a result of passing through narrow apertures or across steel edges. Therefore, you’d have no more trouble operating than you would in any other building. For Wi-Fi, we have never heard of complications or lack of service due to a metal building.

“She-Shed”, She Said.

/in , , , , , /by

From the he-shed to the man cave to the him nest to the guy refuge to the classic He-Man Woman Haters Club (from The Little Rascals), it seems guys always have their space to retreat to (and rightfully so) – BUT why shouldn’t women have something similar? We can give you a SHE-SHED with all the items to make a girly getaway, such as a workshop for all your Cricut and scrapbooking needs, a place for a tanning bed, or a shop where you can create.

These She-Sheds give you a space to get away to be alone or to work with the ones you love in an inviting atmosphere. Whether you are showing your daughter how to be creative and entrepreneurial or learning from your grandma, there is no better way to come together than to create together.

American Steel will work with you to custom build the unit to your specs and allow you to design the interior however you like. Every unit is engineer-certified, and we use high-quality steel that will protect your belongings. Additionally, our reps are great at working with you in a stress-free buying environment.

We have people standing by to answer any questions you may have at (866) 730-9865. We can also speak with you about financing or provide samples of the colors we offer. If you’d like to speak to someone directly, we have dealers nationwide.

Benefits of a Metal Pool Cover

/in , , , , , , , /by

Keep dirt and debris out of the pool.

When the leaves, nuts, etc. start falling, the pool becomes a pain to clean. A metal pool cover will keep your filter from taking in debris, therefore reducing operational costs and wear-and-tear on your pool filtration systems. Cutting down on your pool maintenance by simply keeping your pool covered will also be a huge benefit. Our metal pool cover is all you need to protect your pool year-round.

You don’t have to bother with multiple covers that are inconvenient, unsafe, or simply ineffective. Our cover is the easiest to use, with no manual labor needed to put it up or away. We build it where you want it, and you’re covered for many years to come.

By reducing evaporation, your pool cover conserves water and reduces the use of chemicals, saving you up to 70% on operating costs. With the heat kept in and dirt and debris kept out, your pool equipment will also last much longer. Our pool covers not only keep your pool cleaner, but they also reduce your maintenance costs.

Water Conservation

We found that an uncovered mid-sized pool can lose as much as 180 gallons of water a week to evaporation, taking expensive chemicals with it. American Steel’s metal pool cover will help conserve hundreds of millions of gallons of pool water each year, benefitting our most precious resource while saving money.

The average non-metal pool cover only lasts for 3 to 5 years, while a metal cover will last upwards of 10 years.

Installing a completely automatic solar cover can cost $1,000-$2,000 and more.
