Metal Garage with Skylights

Need additional illumination for your metal garage/workshop? Have you considered adding skylights to your metal building?

 

As we all know, illumination is very important when it comes to metal buildings, especially fully enclosed ones. Even with roll-up doors and windows, sometimes there’s not enough sunlight coming through. To rectify this, American Steel Carports offers 2 different skylight sizes: 3×8 and 3×4. Whether you have a small mini-storage building or a big metal barn, you would always have the option to add skylights. Also, please note that skylights can only be installed in vertical siding roofs.

 

Besides of the features we offer to customize your metal building, you can always customize its size. Remember, all of the blogs and pictures we post are live examples of our customers’ creations. You can base your own ideas on those, or, if you really like a building, you can always build yours to match it. And with 12 different colors to choose from at no additional cost, you can add your own personal touch.

 

Take this 30’W x 51’L x 12’H metal garage as an example:

 

• A-Frame Vertical Roof

• Horizontal Sides & Ends

• 3 – 10×10 Roll-Up Doors (2 on the front end, one on the back end)

• 2 – Walk-In Doors (36×72)

•  8 – 3×8 Skylights

 

 

Our customer decided to add 8 skylights for illumination in addition to the light from the 3 roll-up doors. This garage is also rocking our clay and pewter gray colors!

 

You can place your order NOW! Give us a call and let one of our sales representatives assist you with any questions or concerns you might have. And don’t forget to ask about our financing options!

3-Bay Metal Building

If you have multiple vehicles at your house, it may be a little challenging to get every single one protected from the weather, especially if the only garage you have is the one attached to your house. Moving the other cars just to get one out can be quite annoying, too, especially if you’re in a hurry or the weather isn’t cooperating.

 

This scenario happens pretty often. That’s why American Steel Carports encourages you to acquire a 3-bay metal garage for your vehicles. The big advantage of having your garage doors on the side of the building, instead of the end, is that expanding in length is not as expensive as expanding in width. End walls are pricier due to the material needed. With your garage doors on the side, your cars will be just as secure, and at a lower cost.

 

Take a look at this 26’W x 36’L x 12’H 3-bay metal building as an example:

 

• A-Frame Vertical Roof

• Horizontal Sides & Ends

• 2 – Windows

• 36×80 Walk-In Door

• 3 – 10×10 Roll-Up Doors (on the side)

*Disclaimer: interior designs may vary by state or region. Buildings may require additional trusses to meet local codes. Prices are subject to change at any time without notice. Please contact our sales department for our latest prices.

 

Remember that we can always adjust the length, width, and height according to your needs. Door sizes can always be changed. The pictures are just examples of designs and styles that our customers opt for according to their specifications and tastes.

 

You can always come up with your own design as well. If you have a project in mind, or if you’re looking for a more customized building, give us a call! Let one of our sales representatives assist you. Keep in mind that we can always provide a free sketch for visual purposes until we get to your desired design. Don’t forget to ask for our financing options!

It’s mini storage time!

 

In need of a metal storage building? Are you worried about the size? American Steel Carports is here for you to build that storage building according to your needs.

 

If the size of a storage building is one of your concerns, then it’s more likely that a mini-storage will work for you. Our mini storages tend to be more affordable than a regular enclosed building, with the same freedom of adding certain features; not to mention that all our mini storages come with a ¾” pressure treated wood floor.

 

Take this 12’W x 16’L x 7’H mini storage in 12-G installed in Tijeras, New Mexico as an example:

 

 

Most of our mini storages come with a 6’x6′ roll-up door or a walk-in door depending on the size of the mini-storage. This particular one does have a 6’x6′ roll-up door, it also has a vertical roof, and mobile home anchors.

Metal Garage in New Mexico

Allow your metal building to withstand all seasons with no problem at all!

 

When it comes to protection for your vehicle, there are many factors to consider before purchasing a metal garage. Depending on where you live, some factors will include snow loads, heavy rain, strong winds, etc. Lucky for you, American Steel Carports builds nothing but engineer-certified metal buildings.

 

Our A-frame vertical roof is the strongest of all. This option is engineered to allow snow, dirt, and rain to slide off without any difficulty. The ribs on the panels run from the peak of the roof toward the eaves. Hat channels are also added to further support the vertically running metal sheets. Remember that this roof style comes with a 6” overhang around the carport/garage, blocking a high percentage of precipitation from entering the unit.

 

Take a look at this 18’W x 26’L x 9’H in 14-Gauge metal building installed in Gallup, NM:

 

 

This metal building has our vertical roof with horizontal sides and ends and is rocking our pebble beige and earth brown colors. This building also has our 90-mph wind warranty, which becomes available when our customers purchase all of the required anchors.

 

Remember that American Steel Carports DOES NOT offer any concrete work, so the ground surface must be level before we can install your metal building.

 

Does it snow frequently in your area? Give us a call and let one of our sales representatives help you customize your metal building by adding extra reinforcement. Not sure what your building will look like? We can provide you with a sketch for visual purposes so that we’re on the same page according to your expectations. Remember, this is your building, your creation—and we want to deliver the best experience possible with our company.

Compact Barn

Amazed with our big metal buildings? How about our long agricultural barns?

 

Indeed, our steel buildings can be customized for big projects ranging from barns to protect your farm equipment and livestock to wide spans, ideal for warehouses. When people think about metal buildings, the first thing that comes to mind is a really big building. That’s a completely different thought than when they hear about mini-storage.

 

The fact that our metal buildings can be as big as 80’ wide does not necessarily mean that we can’t make them smaller. Why don’t you take a look at this compact agricultural barn installed in New Mexico:

 

Center Unit:

 

• 12’W x 21’L x 11’H

• 14 Gauge
• A-Frame Horizontal Roof
• Horizontal Ends
• 9’x7′ Roll-Up Door (front end)

 

Lean-Tos:

• Horizontal Sides
• Horizontal Ends
• 2 – 36×72 Walk-In Doors on each Lean-To (centered)
• 6 – Windows (3 on each side of the lean-tos)
• Concrete Anchors

 

 

It’s more than clear that the purpose of this compact metal barn was to store material or animal food and maybe a tractor in the center unit. Remember that this is just an example of what we’re capable of. If you like the same style but want different dimensions, our group of experts can assist you. And if you ever have any questions regarding our metal buildings or colors, we’ll be more than happy to answer them.

Add Value to Your Property

Aside from the options for customizing your metal building, there are many reasons to add one of our structures to your property. These are not only the obvious reasons, but also certain benefits that you might not know about yet. The carport industry has recently gone through many changes, and so have we. As such, we have made a large amount of improvements to our products with the help of our highly skilled engineers.

 

One of the biggest benefits of owning a metal carport is protecting your belongings from the weather. Even when you park your vehicle under a shady tree, the normal heat and light from the sun can increase the temperatures inside, causing extensive damage over time. The best alternative is to park it under a metal carport or garage. This will decrease the amount of damage caused by weather factors.

 

Do you know that you can also reduce criminal activity with a metal carport? As crazy as it sounds, if you keep the area well-lit, it can be repellent to criminal activity against your vehicle because of the increased visibility.

 

Since we’re talking about metal carports, why not taking a look at this 22’ x 36’ x 12’ standard carport?

 

• 3′ Sides

• Gable End (back end)

•12-Gauge Galvanized Tubing

 

It’s spacious enough to cover an RV or any other type of big vehicle. Remember that we can always change the dimensions according to your needs. If you need us to go taller than 12’, we can do it!

 

Give us a call! Let our experts help you customize your metal carport/garage. Don’t forget to ask about our financing options. Remember, you can place your order with only a 10% down payment!

Partially Enclosed Metal Carport

Exposing our belongings to harsh weather decreases their durability—and even if we live in areas where the weather is calm, the sun can be damaging as well. When it comes to vehicles, it’s important to remember that they need to remain in the shade; the sun itself can dry and crack your dash, not to mention the fact that direct exposure can double the temperatures inside and crack leather seats. That’s when American Steel Carports comes to the rescue. With our affordable metal buildings, we can provide you with a strong and effective metal shed for parking your vehicles or storing your belongings.

 

 

We offer a variety of buildings to choose from, but if all you need is a metal carport for your vehicle, then we can definitely help you. Our metal buildings come in various sizes, and knowing exactly what you want is key when purchasing a structure.

 

ALL of our metal buildings start with a standard or regular roof. The standard roof is a common choice, as its simple design is familiar and looks good with most properties. It’s also our most affordable option; take a look at this 30’W x 36’L x 12’H structure as an example:

 

 

 

This metal building is wide enough to be used in numerous ways. Also, remember that the colors can always be changed. This customer decided to go all green.
