36’W x 131’L x 11’+14’H Warehouse

Did you know you can make a warehouse out of a steel building?

In general, all of our metal buildings come with an extensive number of features that will allow you to customize and enhance your unit to meet nothing but your needs. This applies to each of our metal buildings, no matter the size – and with 20 years in business, we know exactly how to deliver a great experience for our customers.

Because steel does not twist, bend, buckle, or warp, its flexibility allows it to be fully modified and customized, giving us the advantage and allowing easy installation. That’s why most companies prefer to get steel buildings for their warehouses. Steel is cost effective and, most importantly, it requires less maintenance than other building materials. Steel also offers safety and resistance to natural elements and weather damage. See why steel is one of the top choices for many companies when it comes to warehouses? Not only that, but keep in mind that you’ll get the exact same benefits and features when you purchase a steel garage, steel shed, or even a steel barn!

So today, we want to introduce this magnificent 36’W x 131’L x 11’+14’H:

  • 12-Guage Galvanized Tubing
  • Fully Vertical
  • 4 – 10’x10′ Roll-Up Doors
  • 2 – 14’x14′ Roll-Up Doors
  • 7 – 48″x84″ Heavy Duty Doors
  • 11- Windows
  • 9 – Frame Outs
  • 14 – Skylights

Now you’re hanging with the big boys! Can you picture what you could do with this huge steel warehouse? Would you customize it in the same way? Or what would you make changes to this design? Feel free to login with your Facebook account to interact with us!

37’ x 31’ x 14’/12’3” Custom Metal Unit

Throughout the year, we’ve been talking about and posting on metal units, most of them pretty standard and nothing out of the ordinary. You will always see our typical carports, RV covers, and metal garages up to 3 bays—that is, the basics. And if we want to throw in some other units, we can show off our barns, which are similar to the main custom units due to the lean-tos. Overall, there are plenty of choices that you can add to your metal building to customize it however you want.

Now, you might be wondering, what about the pricing on a custom unit? Well, the price will depend on the number of features you want to add and how big you want your metal building to be. Remember that wider units tend to run higher, as do units taller than 12’. Let us tease you a little bit: especially when we refer to “custom” metal buildings, this might not be something that you see frequently in our website or on social media.

  • (Main Unit) 30’W x 31’L x 14’H
  • 12-Gauge Galvanized Tubing
  • Fully Vertical
  • 18’x10′ Roll-Up Door (on the side)
  • 38″x82.5″ Frame-Out
  • 2 – Windows
  • (Lean-To) 7’W x 31’L x 14’/12’3″H
  • Gable Ends

Getting rid of Your Stuff can be Hard. We can Help.

There are many reasons you could need storage, but one you may not have thought about is how clutter affects our lives. I recently read a report on how too much clutter can cause stress and anxiety, can create feelings of guilt (“I should start being more organized”) and can also lead one to feel embarrassed, especially when others drop by our homes or workspaces unexpectedly. As a psychologist and expert on the subject, Sherrie Bourg Carter explains in Psychology Today, “Messy homes and workspaces leave us feeling anxious, helpless, and overwhelmed. Yet, rarely is clutter recognized as a significant source of stress in our lives.”

Downsizing is another reason people would need storage. There is a national trend of people leaving larger houses for much smaller and more economic ones. The reasons vary, but most say they want to cash out equity to fund retirement, cut living costs with a smaller residence, or even move to a new location, possibly a rental.

According to HousingWire.com: “In fact, three out of four Baby Boomers answered they would downsize their home to lower ongoing costs and for the benefit from the equity. Another 67% said they would be willing to move to a less expensive location.”

So where does everything go when you don’t want to throw it away?

Are your kids leaving the house? Every year, 20 million kids enrolled in college, with a large amount of them leaving home. Therein lies the issue. We spend a long time creating and collecting memories, and it can be hard to just discard of these items when the kids leave home.

With American Steel, you don’t have to. American Steel makes buildings that are Strong, Versatile, and Built to Last.

Get the peace of mind, make your life less complicated, or secure those memories that mean so much. Give us a call at (866) 730-9865 or check us out online at americansteeleinc.com.

Know Your Needs

Part of the process of acquiring your metal building is knowing the type of surface where the unit will be installed. Most of our customers prefer to have their buildings installed on concrete slabs. These aren’t required for all the buildings we offer, unless you’re want something wider than 30 feet; leveled ground may be another option. We also know how much concrete can cost, and that’s why our concrete anchors are INCLUDED in your order. That means you’ll also get our 90-mph wind warranty, because you’ll have the anchors needed for it.

Of course, many of our customers are creative when designing their concrete slab. We’ve seen customers add various kinds of ramps for their vehicles, which is pretty nice if you ask us. Remember, your metal building will be built to meet your special needs.

This 24′W × 41′L × 10′H metal garage is a great example of customization a metal building and all the options you might want to consider:

  • (2) 10’x8′ Roll-Up Doors
  • Walk-In Door (36″x80″)
  • (8) Windows

The windows, in this case, are an affordable option for illumination; this building comes with eight of them. If you like the design and dimensions of this building but you’re not really feeling the colors, there’s absolutely no need to stick with the same ones. We offer thirteen colors for you to choose from at no extra cost.

Want to see our buildings in person? Call us now and ask for your local dealer. We’re now offering rent-to-own in all our service areas too. Talk to one of our experts and get your order started!

Standard is Not Basic

Our triple-wide units – ranging from 26’ to 30’ in width – have been very popular this year. You can use one of these as a big garage if you have multiple vehicles or even as your own shop where you can work on your vehicles.

One of the biggest confusions we’ve seen throughout the years is that many of our customers assume that, because the width of the unit overpasses the standard size, it isn’t eligible for a Standard roof. Well, this is completely FALSE. Any unit that’s under 30’ in width has the option to go for a Standard roof, keeping in mind that our Standard roof is the most economical choice (since it’s included in the base price). However, once a unit overpasses 30’ in width, then it’s considered a Wide Span, meaning it must have a Vertical roof.

This 30’W x 51’L x 12’H Standard triple-wide unit is a great example of what we’re talking about:

  • 12’x12′ Roll-Up Door
  • Walk-In Door
  • 2 – Windows
  • L-Brackets

Although this roof option is one of the most affordable ones, it might not be the best when it comes to areas that received a large amount of snowfall every year. The reason is that snow and other natural elements will not slide off the Standard roof like on a Vertical roof, so you will have to make sure that there’s no snow building that could make the roof collapse beneath the added weight. Nevertheless, if you live in a dry area where snow is not a concern, then this might be the roof choice for you!

Keep Up with Fall’s Fashion

It looks like the new fashion goes way beyond the limit this year, or at least from what we’ve seen so far in metal buildings we recently installed. If you have read our previous blog post about this season, then you know what we’re talking about (lol!). If you haven’t, click here and feel free to get yourself up to date.

When we talk about customization, we don’t just mean the shape or size of the carport: we’re also talking about color combinations. Remember, the sides, roof, and trim can be in different colors.

Did you know we offer colored roll-up doors?

That’s right! You can add more color to your building with our colored roll-up doors. With more than 30 different colors to choose from, you can give your building a special touch! Please be aware that colored roll-up doors come with an additional price.

Take this 18’W x 21’L x 8’H metal building as an example:

  • 14-Gauge Galvanized Tubing
  • A-Frame Vertical
  • Horizontal Sides & Ends
  • 9’x7′ Roll-Up Door (Continental Brown)
  • Walk-In Door
  • Window

Fall Season

The temperature is dropping, and Halloween and Thanksgiving are right around the corner. Shades of brown and orange are all over and as trendy as always for this time of year! The fall season is making itself felt. Well, at least it is in Texas. Of course, not everything is about being super fashionable and staying on top on what’s trending. The downside of fall is the leaves everywhere.

Watching leaves change color as the weather transitions can be a pleasant experience for some people, especially those who enjoy outdoor photography. That contrasting orange background makes for some amazing pics. However, did you know that leaves can damage vehicles? As crazy as it sounds, leaves left to sit on vehicles for long periods can destroy the paint! Most experts and care-car gurus recommend keeping your vehicles safely parked beneath some kind of structure that will protect against leaves and other tree debris. Have you thought about building a metal carport? Why don’t we show you how a new carport can protect your vehicles during fall? Take a look at this 18’W x 31’L x 10’H example:

This metal carport will definitely help you keep your vehicles protected throughout both fall and winter. Our vertical roof allows natural elements such as leaves, water, debris, and snow to slide off easily. Unlike other types of roof styles, our design eliminates the need for constant maintenance. In addition, this building is rocking the fall colors! If you’re all about fashion, then make a statement by adding a three-color carport to your property (rawhide sides, earth brown roof, and evergreen trim).

Let’s get you what you’re looking for! Give us a call now, and ask to speak with one of our sales representatives. We will help you build the structure of your dreams just in time for fall and winter. Don’t forget to ask about our available financing options.

Tips to Consider Before Purchasing a Metal Building

Metal sheds and garages are perfect for storing belongings and getting rid of clutter. In addition to serving those and many other functions, metal buildings come in a wide array of options and appearances that look great on any property. When acquiring a shed, you want to make sure that you choose the most effective option for your purpose and space. These tips will help you get the most out of your new structure.

Consider Your Purpose – Before jumping into sizes, you should think about exactly how you will use your metal building, both now and in the future. Are you looking for a storage area, a garage, or perhaps a workshop? The use will determine the size and type of structure to fit your needs. We offer many varieties of steel buildings that are excellent for many purposes. For example:

  • Garages are a fast and economical way to house vehicles and toys.
  • Workshops come in a range of sizes and are great for craftsmen and builders.
  • Mini storage units are useful investments for those who live in neighborhoods and need more than garages for storage. Such storage units are small enough to keep in your backyard and, with a permit, can be installed wherever you desire. Additional storage for items such as bikes, fishing gear, and pet food frees up space in your garage. To make for an even more attractive structure, you can add a small porch and even hang plants from the roof.

Think Durability – Very few regions experience little change between the seasons. Indeed, many climates deal with long periods of extreme heat or cold and all manner of weather phenomena. In order to choose the best metal building, you need to consider your environment. Metal buildings can be specifically constructed to withstand snow, heatwaves, wind, and other conditions.

Make It Easy – Metal buildings don’t need to be complicated or difficult to understand. Although we sometimes go over the top regarding customization, manufacturing a standard building is easy. Remember that every single one of our buildings can be customized to serve your exact needs and likes, no matter how simple or complex.

Safety First – If you live in a windy area, then we highly suggest purchasing our 90-mph wind warranty. Depending on the surface of your installation site, we have packages that will help your metal building withstand those strong winds. Whether we use mobile home anchors or concrete anchors, we will make sure that your building stays sturdy for a very long time.

Choose a Good Site or Solid Foundation – Choosing a level area for your metal building will improve its appearance and keep it sold and sturdy for years to come. Also, be sure that your construction site is dry; this will prevent the foundation from shifting and stop mold and mildew from growing. For optimal performance, your building should be placed on a solid concrete foundation; however, that feature is totally optional.

If you really know what you’re looking for and follow the right procedures to get it, then owning a steel building can be a great experience. When you begin your next big investment, keep these important facts and tips in mind to ensure that you’ll spend the following decades enjoying your ideal metal structure.
