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.

Standard vs. Triple Wide vs. Wide Span

/in , , , , , /by

A metal building will always be a metal building, no matter what – aside from all of the customization we offer, such as enclosing your carport.

A metal carport is the main foundation of your metal garage. If you really think about it, the base and the roof are what make it a metal carport, so all we are doing is enclosing your carport and adding the openings or frame outs for the roll-up door that you want. The same goes for our agricultural buildings. The center unit is a metal carport, which is just adjacent to the lean-tos (also called wings); from then on, we just enclose the sides or ends according to your special needs. Interesting, isn’t it? However, the size of the structure is what will categorize your metal building or metal carport as a standard, triple wide, or wide span unit.

Standard Units

The confusion starts when the word “standard” comes in to play. On one of our metal buildings, this mostly refers to a particular roof style. It’s called standard because this roof option is included in the base price, unlike our other roof styles, which come with an additional price. However, in the carport industry vocabulary, “standard” is also a categorization of all metal units ranging from 12’ to 24’ in width. You might be thinking, aren’t your units categorized as carports or garages? Yes, technically – but that’s after the product is completed, and those subcategories are mainly just options. Another point to add is that there is no such thing as a limitation when it comes to length for standard units. Even a 12’ wide building can be 100’ long! But when it comes to height, there are a few restrictions that will apply. For example, the leg height of your metal building cannot exceed the width (e.g., 12’W x 31’L x 14’H). Why? Because your building will NOT be stable.

Triple Wide Units

This type of metal building ranges from 26’ to 30’ in width. These are big buildings that are typically used casually for workshops. Because of the size, is recommended to opt for our 12-gauge galvanized tubing (a.k.a. heavy duty). Aside from their size, these metal units still follow the same procedure and customization options regarding roof style, vertical sides or ends, roll-up doors, openings, and being installed on the ground or a concrete slab. As mention earlier, triple wide units don’t have a limit when it comes to length, and since the width starts at 26’, there are no restrictions when it comes to leg height taller than 12’. This type of building might be the one for you if you’re looking for something big, but also affordable without limitations. However, when it comes to even bigger units, things do change – which brings us to our last topic.

Wide Span Units

Now we’re talking about some big, big units. This type of huge metal unit ranges from 32’ to 80’ in width! Yes, we’re talking warehouse size! Let’s leave the size comparison to the side for a moment, shall we? The first thing you will notice about these big metal units is the siding. ALL of our wide span units run fully vertical, which means that they don’t allow a standard roof or horizontal siding. Another big change that you will notice is that our wide span units MUST be installed on concrete pads, concrete footings, or concrete piers. This is due to the size and weight of the unit. If this kind of metal unit is installed on the ground, due to the weight on all of its components, it will sink and won’t be sturdy.

Big Enough Plus Additional Space!

/in , , , , /by

American Steel Carports provides customized metal buildings that will fulfill your special needs and expectations. Whether you’re planning on storing your vehicles, heavy machinery, or any of your belongings that might need protection from the harsh weather, American Steel Carports will have what you need! And with so many different designs, sizes, and colors to choose from, you can add your own personal touch!

 

When you’re planning to put up a metal unit, the first thing we always recommend is to know the size that you want. This will allow you to play around with measurements; whether we’re increasing length or width, it’s best to have additional space. However, that doesn’t necessarily mean that you need an extremely wide building to park your vehicles. Lean-tos are a smart option if you want to extend the width protection of your building for a lower price. Here is a clearer representation of what we’re talking about:

 

• 54’W x 31’L x 12’/8’H

• 30’W x 31’L x 12’H (center unit) 14-Gauge

• A-Frame Vertical Roof

• Horizontal Sides

• Horizontal End

• Gable End

• 45 Degree Cuts

• 2 – 12’W x 31’L x 10’/8’H Lean-Tos

• A-Frame Vertical Roof

 

 

 

This metal building, more like an agricultural barn, is 54’ wide due to both lean-tos that are connected side to side. This is what we’re talking about when we refer to extending the width of your building in a smarter way.

 

 

*It’s recommended to keep lean-tos under 12’ wide. Once a lean-to overpasses 12’ wide, additional support and material will need to be added for an additional price. *

 

Want something similar to this metal barn? Need to adjust its size? Give us a call and let one of our experts help you customize that metal barn that you’ve been wanting. All of our metal barns are custom-made to satisfy nothing but your needs, and all of the buildings that we post are live creations of our customers.

As a company, we know exactly the need of protection for our heavy equipment, and sometimes is not that easy to find something with the right amount of height and clearance in order for your toys to be well protected. Another reason why customers might get turned down, is because our flyers go all the way to 12’ tall. However, that doesn’t mean that we cannot go taller than 12’. In fact, the tallest we can go on ay metal building, is 20’ tall.

 

Since we’re talking about tall buildings, take a look at this 24’W x 26’L x 14’H metal building with the following features:

A Simple Design is Enough for Protection

/in , , , , , /by

It’s crazy to think that May is coming to an end and summer is just around the corner. With the increasing temperatures, though, it’s obvious that the heat will stick with us for some time. This means that we need to keep our belongings protected from the blazing sun.

 

Our company offers numerous designs and colors for you to choose from. However, that doesn’t mean that a simple design won’t protect your belongings from mother nature. Standard roofs are one of the most economical options that we offer, since the roof is included in the base price. For folks living in areas that rarely get snow, this roof style might be perfect. Take a look at this 18’W x 36’L x 11’H metal building:

 

• Standard Roof
• 36×72 Walk-In Door (side)
• 10×10 Roll-Up Door (front end)

 

This metal building can be used as a storage room, a garage, or even a workshop, and the combination of the barn red and white colors gives it a very unique look.

Protect Your Second Home Too!

/in , , , , , /by

Don’t leave you RV unprotected from the environment! Just as we need our RVs to give us roofs over our heads, our RVs deserve roofs of their own to keep them safe and protected.

 

Finding the perfect cover for RVs can be quite challenging, as they can vary considerably in height. One solution is paying to park your RV at a local RV parking spot. This might sound like a good plan, as your RV will be parked and protected and you save some space – but in the long run, that price you’re paying regularly could’ve been the total price you paid for an RV cover to be delivered and installed at home.

 

Remember that we can go taller than 12’ (what our flyers says). In fact, we can go as high as 20’ tall on our buildings, so covering an RV will not be a challenge for us! Take a look at this 24’W x 36’L x 14’H unit:

 

• A-Frame Vertical Roof

• 12-Gauge Galvanize Tubing

• 6′ Vertical Sides

• 2 – Vertical Gable Ends

• Concrete Anchors

 

 

*Disclaimer: Additional material might be required to meet local codes. Therefore, the inside design and pricing may vary by state.*

 

This RV cover is made in 12-gauge, which includes our 20-year limited warranty on rust-through of the framing. It also comes with a vertical roof, 6’ vertical sides (partially enclosed), two vertical gables, and concrete anchors.

 

There are endless ways to design that perfect metal building of your dreams! Give us a call now to speak with one of experts, and don’t forget to ask about our financing options. Want to see our buildings in person? Call now and ask for your local dealer!
