Need Some Shade for Your Livestock?

Posted on June 18, 2018 by - ASI, Blog, Customer Builds, Steel Structures

If you own a farm with livestock, you know the importance of providing a shaded area to protect them from intense heat. Some farms might have soil rich enough in nutrients to increase the chances of trees growing there. But like us, trees can take 30 years to be fully grown, and not only that, a tree must be able to be establish itself with the area; and keep in mind the harsh conditions the tree might be exposed to.

 

A more beneficial option might be to install a multipurpose metal building that can protect your livestock as well as your belongings, such as farm equipment, from unpredictable weather. American Steel Carports specializes in the production of custom metal buildings to fit our customers’ needs and priorities.

 

When it comes to the length of our buildings, there’s no limit. Take a look at this 18′W × 61′L × 7′H building:

 

• A-Frame Vertical Roof

• 3′ Horizontal Sides

• Mobile Home Anchors

 

 

Side note: We highly recommend our customers opt for a vertical roof once the length of the building passes 30 feet. This will prevent future leaks, due to the sheet panels running from the peak of the building toward the eaves.

 

If you have questions about any of our metal buildings, feel free to contact us! Let one of our experts help you customize that metal building of your dreams. Remember, all our buildings are engineer certified! Don’t forget to ask about our financing options.

Posted on June 11, 2018 by - ASI, Blog, Customer Builds, Product Reviews, Steel Structures

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. *

Benefits of a Steel Barn on Your Property

Posted on May 24, 2018 by - ASI, Blog, Steel Structures

Owning business property or a residential property with a healthy amount of land may mean you also own equipment and tools that need a sturdy and protective storage option. Traditional properties like farms might utilize a wood barn, but there are benefits to upgrading to a metal barn. If you haven’t yet decided on a structure for your property, or you’re seeking a new type of structure, a metal barn could be the answer to your storage needs.

 

Benefits of a Steel BarnGarden Sheds

 

When you choose to purchase a steel barn from American Steel Carports, Inc., you’ll find that your overall costs for equipment and tool replacement go down because of the protection a metal barn offers. Here are some other benefits you’ll see when you choose to build a steel barn on your property.

 

Say Goodbye to Rust and Extra Wear. Tools and machinery that are left outside rust quickly and slowly begin to degrade. The tool set you use to work on a particular piece of equipment might have a lifespan of 25 years, but letting those tools sit outside without a cover may mean those tools aren’t worth their weight in scrap after just a few years.

 

Protect Animals Like Horses. Although many property owners choose to store their animals in traditional wooden barns, a metal structure is an excellent option for providing a safe environment for the animals. It’s easy to keep the interior of a steel structure dry, so animals like horses won’t have to deal with the dampness that could result from other types of barns.

 

Increase the Value of Your Farm or Property. A sturdy and well-made steel structure can provide functionality for your property, as well as an increase in its value. A nicely maintained steel barn looks updated and professional and can help when (or if) you decide to sell your property.

 

Replacing an Old Wooden Barn

 

Antique barns are a beautiful part of the countryside in many areas of the United States, but there are some benefits to replacing a barn that requires extensive renovation. Not only can you sell the wood of the barn to buyers who will transform the pieces into “reclaimed” pieces of furniture, but you can also benefit from a new steel barn that doesn’t require as much maintenance and repair.

 

A steel barn is an exceptional investment because it doesn’t require as much regular maintenance as a traditional barn. The time, energy, and money you must put into maintaining a wooden barn might be better spent on other projects. In addition to the low maintenance of a metal barn versus a wooden barn, the structure will also last many decades, which means an excellent investment value.

A Simple Design is Enough for Protection

Posted on May 23, 2018 by - ASI, Blog, Customer Builds, News/Press, Product Reviews, Steel Structures

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.

A-Frame Horizontal Roof vs. A-Frame Vertical Roof

Posted on May 22, 2018 by - ASI, Blog, News/Press, Questions, Steel Structures

There are many options on how to customize a carport or metal building. Roof styles being one of those options. Although the following two that we’re about to mention are not the only options available, they are our most popular options. They are also hard to choose from unless you fully understand the orientation and reasoning behind the price difference.

 

The A-Frame Horizontal Roof (Boxed-Eave) is popular due to its residential style look. The ridges on the roof run front to back in sync with the roof line. This style is commonly used in areas that do not have much snow or rain fall but are not limited to those area. The panels run horizontally, so the unit requires a little maintenance to keep debris from piling up along the ridges.

 

 

A-Frame Horizontal Roof

 

 

The A-Frame Vertical Roof is our upgraded roof option. The ridges on this roof style run top to bottom from the peak down to the eaves. This option is popular in regions with heavy snow and rainfall. The direction of the panels makes it easy for debris to run off smoothly. This style of roof is the most expensive due to the extra material and reinforcement required for installation. Although this roof style is popular in areas with lots of snow and rain, many customers across the country still opt for his option due to the easy maintenance, sturdiness and look.

Installation Process:

 

You have placed your order and are anxiously anticipating the scheduling of your steel carport or garage. Here are a few things that you should know to ensure that your scheduled delivery goes quickly and smoothly.

 

American Steel Carports receives orders daily; all new orders go through an intake process, which can take between 24-72 hours. Once accepted, you will be contacted for scheduling. The scheduling process can take between 2-4 weeks. Older orders receive priority; however, the estimation of the time associated with your scheduling will depend on the carport size, the local weather, and the amount of orders surrounding you. There are a few things that we recommend that our customers do while they wait for the scheduling of their new metal building.

 

Every county is different; we recommend that all customers check with their local code enforcement to ensure that their building order meets their area’s requirements and obtain permits if necessary. Remember, alterations to your order should be made prior to scheduling. American Steel Carports has trained sales reps and engineers to help answer your questions and to make any accommodations that you may need.

 

Whether you plan to have your metal garage or carport installed on ground, cement, gravel, or asphalt, a few things should be done prior to scheduling. It is of extreme importance that your area be level and clear of any debris. It is also important that you notify American Steel Carports should you plan to have your steel building installed over an item such as an RV, boat, or any other object. Additionally, any steel carport or garage that is installed on anything other than a surface at ground level needs to be mentioned upon ordering or prior to scheduling.

 

American Steel Carports asks our customers to help ensure our installers’ safety. Nobody knows your property as well as you do. However, by contacting “call before you dig 811” at least a few days prior to delivery and installation, you can schedule an appointment to have your underground pipes and electrical wires marked. This ensures the safety of our workers as well as of your property.

 

You have your area ready, and you just received the call from American Steel Carports notifying you that your order is ready and on the way! Your building material will arrive on site with the contractors who will be installing it. Our scheduling is given in windows based on the weather and the distance between each customer. American Steel Carports values you time and makes it a top priority to arrive within the original time frame given. Be that as it may, there are times when scheduling can be delayed or, in some cases, ahead of schedule. Due to the nature of this profession, flat tires, installation issues, and weather can contribute to delays in scheduling. Our friendly staff will contact you if changes to your scheduling should arise, and you are welcome to contact us as needed during your scheduled delivery.

 

Delivery and installation should be a hassle-free process. Allow American Steel Carports to treat you like royalty and offer you peace of mind in knowing that we will be there for you every step of the way.
