March Madness

Posted on April 3, 2019 by - ASI, Carports

It’s almost summer time and what could be better than buying an affordable carport within your budget to protect your vehicles. The number one kind of protection is against UV exposure. As you know, sunlight can be extremely damaging to vehicles.  We believe that those thousands of dollars you invested in your vehicle could easily be destroyed by the sun. American steel carports provide you with one of the most durable materials you can find. The carports provided by American Steel Carports are provided with what is called galvanized steel construction.

Galvanized steel carports effectively resist rust, corrosion, and chipping. We offer 12 and 14-gauge carports. Both different kind of tubing come with a one-year workmanship included, but only the 12 gauge has the 20-year rust warranty. Afar from the material these metal carports ensure reliable protection against all kinds of circumstances depending your location.

Now, imagine this 21’W x 22’L x 7’H carport on the side of your house, protecting your twenty-thousand-dollar car, what more can you want, but there is no end there. You can customize this carport according to your needs and preferences! Maybe 21’ wide is not big enough for your vehicles, or perhaps you’d prefer a different roof style. Want to enclose the carport and make it a metal garage? The decision is all yours.

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.

2019 Johnson County Junior Livestock Show and Youth Fair

Posted on January 18, 2019 by - ASI, Barn, Blog, Events, Informative, Lifestyle, Steel Structures

American Steel Carports recently had the opportunity to attend the 2019 Johnson County Junior Livestock Show and Youth Fair. As a locally-based company, it is extremely important to us to support our local community as often as possible. We especially appreciate the chance to support the kids and young adults in the community because they are our future generation. It was truly our pleasure to donate a check to the Johnson County Livestock and Agricultural Association, and it was great to be there in person to support and congratulate these youth on all their hard work.

Most people do not realize how much hard work, time, and money goes into raising these animals in order to show them at a livestock show. These Future Farmers of America (FFA) students are entirely responsible for buying the animals and taking care of them. Some of their responsibilities include fencing, feeding, watering, cleaning troughs, grooming, cleaning pens, and observing the animals daily to watch for sickness and disease. FFA projects help our kids learn basic life skills that will eventually help them become better citizens by teaching them responsibility and helping them set goals, all while teaching them the knowledge of livestock production.

While showing support on behalf of American Steel Carports, I was able to interact with the FFA students and their livestock. These FFA students compete in 12 different divisions with animals such as chickens, goats, lamb, cows, turkeys, pigs, and rabbits. The goats were my personal favorite. As I was talking to one of the students, she introduced me to her goat, Ranger. He was so sweet and loving, but very hungry. Ranger tried to eat everything he saw, including my fingers. It was so sweet to watch Ranger interact with his owner. There was a bond there that really opened my eyes to these kids and raising their livestock.

It was our pleasure to donate to the Johnson County Livestock & Agricultural Association (JCLAA) because of all they do for the kids of this community. This association gives out over $28,000 in scholarships every year to the students who participate to further their education. This scholarship money helps them protect their current assets as well as invest in future ones.

Like JCLAA, American Steel Carports wants to protect our customers’ current and future assets by not only donating to this community, but also by building strong, durable, versatile, and engineer certified buildings. We proudly provide loafing sheds, agriculture barns, and storage units that protect their precious livestock through every season. It was our pleasure to attend the Johnson County Junior Livestock Show and Youth Fair. We hope to see them again next year.

 

Cut off Times

Posted on October 23, 2018 by - ASI, Blog, Informative, News, Steel Structures

We are entering that time of the year again when the weather starts dropping, the snow starts coming and we make our cut off dates.

What are cut off dates?

They are the time frame where we will be halting delivery on units in certain regions.

Why cut off dates?

Because although we would love to take care of customers 365 days a year, it’s highly unlikely due to the weather variables that are far beyond our control.

When do we start delivering again?

We will start up in full steam in the spring delivering and installing new units.

What states have been cut off for 2018?

October 15 – Pennsylvania, Virginia, Delaware, Maryland, West Virginia, and New Jersey.

September 27 – New York

No longer servicing Massachusetts as of 9/21/2018

November 19 – Wisconsin, Minnesota, Upper Michigan

 

We can’t wait to get started installing your buildings in the spring. Take care, everyone!

Standard Barns With a Modern Look

Posted on October 3, 2018 by - ASI, Barn, Blog, Custom, Informative, Steel Structures

When we say that our metal buildings are versatile, we’re not kidding! We can take the design of a building and transform it completely into your own personal structure. With twenty years of experience in the carport industry, we build all our metal structures to last for many years.

This next agricultural building might surprise you, since it doesn’t look like a typical barn, and the standard roof and lean-tos can be misleading because the roof curves on the sides, unlike in our A-Frames. The connections on both lean-tos makes them look astonishing, and the color combination stands out from the background.

Main unit: 30’W x 51’L x 12’H (12-Gauge), full horizontal sides & ends, a 10’x10 Roll-up door, (2) walk-in doors, (4) windows, and (2) 12’W x 51’L x 8’H Lean-Tos. 

If this kind of building is something you might be interested on, you’re on the right place! We offer a great variety of sizes, designs, and color combinations to suit your preferences.

Please keep in mind that our customer decided to pour a concrete slab to place this building; this isn’t required. As long as your land is level, we can anchor the building with mobile home anchors and add our 90-mph wind warranty, which is completely optional.

Don’t wait too long and give us a call to speak with one of our representatives! We can help you envision the metal building that you’re looking for at the right price. Don’t forget to ask about our financing options!

Did you know our concrete anchors are INCLUDED?

If you’re planning to have a metal building on a concrete pad, our concrete anchors will be included, which means that our 90-mph wind warranty will be included too! Be aware that some restrictions apply: if your concrete pad is the same size as the frame of the unit, we will have to include “L” brackets to anchor the building without chipping the edges of the slab.

Cold Season Is Coming Soon!

Posted on September 26, 2018 by - Agricultural, ASI, Blog, Steel Structures

Are all your belongings protected from this coming winter? Are you ready for the low temperatures? It’s been rumored that this year’s temperatures are going to be really cold. At least here in Texas, the temperatures haven’t dropped—if anything, they’ve been high. However, let’s not underestimate Mother Nature, and let’s be cautious when it comes to protecting our important possessions.

Many of our belongings tend to sit outside in our backyard, leaving them exposed to the elements. That’s especially true for farm equipment or tools, which can be very expensive. If you own machinery, farm tools, or multiple vehicles, this 44’W x 31’L x 12.8’H vertical barn might be beneficial for you:

 

This agricultural barn comes fully vertical and fully insulated, main unit (24’W x 31’L x 12’H), two (2) 10’W x 31’L x 10’/8’H Lean-Tos, four roll-up doors (two 10’ x 10’ and two 8’ x 7’), a walk-in door, and eight windows. Remember, insulation is optional.

We can customize any metal building according to your needs and preferences! Talk to one of our sales representatives and get started with a FREE quote. Your future metal building can be one call away! Don’t forget to ask about our financing options.

Another Barn!

Posted on February 6, 2018 by - ASI, Blog, Customer Builds, Questions, Steel Structures

Are you getting ready for the hot temperatures? Are all of your belongings stored and protected?

 

It’s simple to say that summer is still a long way from now, which is true – but by the time summer hits us, we’ve got to be ready for it. Since our headquarters is located in Joshua, TX, we know exactly how incredibly unstable our weather can be and how summer can arrive anytime.

 

We recommend that our customers check with their local building departments if their metal buildings meet the local codes before purchasing any of our units. Local codes from Texas may differ from those in any other state, especially if the building is going to be put up in an urban area.

 

One of the most popular buildings this year has been the ag barn. This barn can be used for many purposes. The most common one, of course, is as a barn, keeping livestock safe from the rain and intense heat. Some customers opt to enclose part of the lean-tos to store animal feed or farm equipment. On the other hand, there are customers who just love the design and prefer to use it as a garage for their vehicles. If you have land and space available, that would be a very interesting project.

 

Take a look at this metal barn installed near Chiloquin, OR:

 

• 20’W x 41’L x 12’H (main unit)

• A-Frame Vertical Roof

• Horizontal Siding

• 10×10 Roll-Up Door (front end)

• 36″x80″ Walk-In Door (front end)

• 2 – 30″x30″ Windows

 

• 10’W x 41’L x 10’/8’H Lean-Tos

• A-Frame Vertical Roof

• Horizontal Sides

• 2 – 9×7 Roll-Up Doors (one on each lean-to)

• Mobile Home Anchors

 

 

One of the main advantages of this barn is its vertical roof; since Oregon is a state with constant snow, the panels running from the peak toward the eaves allow snow to slide off without the need for constant maintenance, like other types of roofs.

 

Should you always go for a vertical roof?

 

Not necessarily. Although vertical roofs are the best choice when it comes to maintenance, if you live in an area that rarely gets snow, it’s not necessary. However, it’s highly recommended to get a vertical roof if your carport exceeds 30’ in length in order to avoid leaks in the future.

 

You can customize your metal building! Give us a call, and we will help you build the metal barn of your dreams. Remember that we also offer financing options if you need a little help purchasing your metal barn. Ask your representative about it.
