Need a metal barn? Want some extra protection for your livestock or farm equipment? Let American Steel Carports help you get started with a metal structure that will meet your needs and, more importantly, stand strong against the unpredictable weather.

 

Ag barns are definitely one of a kind—they look pretty nice as well as offering protection.

Whether it’s used as a barn or a garage, we will certify the unit for you to withstand inclement weather. Please note that it’s important to verify with your local building department that your metal barn complies with your area’s regulations.

 

Take a look at this 36’W x 21’L x 12’H ag barn installed in Edgewood, New Mexico:

 

• 12’W x 21’L x 12’H (center unit)

• A-Frame Vertical Roof

• Gable Ends

Partially Enclosed RV Cover

Posted on September 6, 2017 by - ASI, Blog, Customer Builds

Looking for an RV cover?

 

A camper or a trailer can be a beneficial investment, especially if you use it as a home away from home. However, we need to make sure that we protect our investments so that they last for a really long time. The sun is the number-one element that can damage our RVs. That’s why a metal RV cover is the best option for you!

 

Some of our customers think it’s expensive to purchase a metal RV cover, since they believe that they need to pour a concrete pad on their land to secure the structure to the ground. That can be done, but only if it’s what our customers really want. There’s no need to pour a concrete pad for your metal RV cover if you don’t want to, since we can anchor the unit to the ground as long as it’s leveled.

 

For example, look at this metal RV cover installed on the ground:

 

• 24’W x 31’L x 12’H

• 14-Gauge

• Standard Roof

• 3′ Side & 9′ Side

• Horizontal End

• Mobile Home Anchors

 

With our mobile home anchors, your metal building can be secured directly to the ground. If you want additional protection, furthermore, you can add our 90-mph wind warranty when you purchase all anchors needed.

 

The only way to ensure that your RV is fully protected, however, is to make sure that it’s shielded by a metal structure like a carport or garage. Lucky for you, we sell both! If you don’t have one, then there’s not much you can do to make sure that your RV won’t be damaged.

Metal Garage for 2 Vehicles

Posted on August 21, 2017 by - ASI, Blog, Customer Builds

Purchasing a metal garage may seem boring and complicated, but it doesn’t have to be. The number one reason why it might seem complicated is if you don’t know the dimensions that you’re looking for. It’s important to ask for a large amount of space in order to keep your vehicles protected; this will become handy in the future in case you want to use the extra space to store other belongings.

 

Our top priorities are to make sure that our customers get their metal garages at a lower price and ensure that their metal buildings meet their demands and expectations. As always, we can recommend sizes or features that will suit your needs, such as windows, walk-in doors, or even insulation if possible.

 

Since we’re talking about metal garages, why not look at this 24’W x 31’L x 10’H:

 

• A-Frame Vertical Roof

• Horizontal Sides and Ends

• Two 10’x8′  Roll-Up Doors (on the side)

• 36″x80″ Walk-In Door

• Four Windows (30″x30″)

• Concrete Anchors

 

 

 

This metal garage is very uniform and steady, rocking our pebble beige and barn red colors. Also, placing the roll-up doors on the side makes this a better option because it is cheaper to grow in length than in width.

 

Do you have something in mind? Give us a call! Ask to speak with a sales representative. Our experts will help you customize your unit in whatever way you want. Also, don’t forget to ask about our financing options – or click here for more information.

All Vertical Garage

Posted on May 15, 2017 by - ASI, Blog, Customer Builds, Questions

 

Want to have real garage doors?

 

At American Steel Carports, we don’t only offer roll-up doors. We also have overhead doors to give you a residential look and quality. Our garages doors come in a standard design, meaning they don’t have windows or insulation,  but you can upgrade overhead doors with glass windows, and if the unit will be fully insulated, you can insulate the door too! Our overhead doors are also compatible with garage openers.

 

Look at this fully vertical metal garage rocking our overhead doors:

 

• 26’W x 31’L x 11’H

 

• 12-Gauge Galvanized Tubing

 

• Fully Vertical

 

• 2 – 10′ x 10′ Overhead Doors

 

• 36″ x 80″ Walk-In Door (on the side)

 

• Concrete Anchors (90-mph wind warranty)

 

 

*Disclaimer: interior designs may vary by state or region*

 

What are the advantages of a fully vertical garage?

 

One of the main advantages is low maintenance. Because the panels run vertically, they’re also more strongly recommended for northern areas, especially places with heavy snowfall.

 

How do I have my building certified for the snow loads in my area?

 

Our buildings are already certified for 20 psf. But if your area has heavy snow loads, we can certify our buildings to withstand those too. On top of that, vertical siding WILL NOT let snow accumulate on the roof or cause it to collapse.

 

We’re almost into summer, and the elevated temperatures will make it a good idea to acquire a metal garage to protect your vehicle from the blazing sun. Keep your car in the shade to prevent the paint from fading and cracking.

 

Give us a call! We can help you picture the metal garage of your dreams! Remember, delivery and installation are FREE on your level land or concrete pad. Want to see more buildings? Click here or go to our blog for more recently installed metal buildings and valuable information.

Ready For the Summer with Your Future Metal AG Barn?

Posted on March 3, 2017 by - ASI, Blog, Customer Builds, Product Reviews, Questions, Steel Structures

Let the summer season begin!

 

Today can be the appropriate time to start looking for a metal building that will protect your livestock from the burning sun. Most southern regions tend to be affected by high seasonal temperatures, so it’s very important to keep your livestock safe and protected from that heat.

 

What about strong winds?

 

We can certify your metal building to stand against inclement weather. The pricing will vary depending on your area, since some regions might receive stronger winds than others. However, we believe that it’s better to add protection and be safe at all times.

 

How can a unit get certified for winds?

 

As mentioned above, it all depends on which region you’re located in. To ensure the specific wind rates, it is necessary to contact your city or visit your local city building department. Moving forward, the main protection is the addition of extra anchors. Remember, we do offer rebar anchors (temporary anchors) for free, but they do not offer any type of guarantee. For security against up to 90-mph winds, it’s far better to get our mobile home, asphalt, or concrete anchors. If you expect winds that are even stronger than 90 mph, we can add more supports and anchors to engineer certify your building up to 120 mph.

 

With all of this valuable information, you don’t have to worry! You can choose the type of carport and design that you like the most without having to think about the weather. This customer in Loving, New Mexico decided to get a 48’W x 31’L x 12/7’H  agricultural metal building:

 

 

 

 

 

We want to hear your questions or concerns! One of our customer service representatives will be happy to listen to you. Not sure what kind of building you want for your property? Check out our other buildings and blogs for more information. You can start the whole process with a simple call!

14′ Tall Metal Carport

Posted on February 25, 2017 by - ASI, Blog, Carports, Custom, Customer Builds, News/Press, Product Reviews, Steel Structures

Looking for a simple carport for your RV? Does your RV overpass the 12-foot standard height from the flyers?

At American Steel Carports, we ensure that our metal buildings meet all of your expectations and needs. We can accommodate your requirements, especially when it comes to building permits. Keep in mind that we can add as much material as your unit needs in order to make sure it’s fully protected and certified for the requirements of the city. However, it’s important for you to go to your local building department and talk to them in order to verify all of the state codes. Since all of the states have different requirements when it comes to installations, they might need to see plans or specifics.

When our customers look for metal RV covers, they can be concerned when the leg height that they’re looking for isn’t listed on the pricing flyers. But that doesn’t mean that we cannot go taller than 12 feet; in fact, the tallest we can go on a building is 20 feet in height. However, keep in mind that the leg height cannot exceed the width of the unit.

Take this metal carport as an example. It’s 14 feet tall:

  • 30’W x 41’L x 14’H
  • 12-Gauge Galvanized Tubing
  • A-Frame Vertical Roof

All of our metal units are engineer-certified, and with their one-year workmanship warranty, we allow our buildings to go through all four seasons to make sure that they don’t have any leaks or issues.

Give us a call! If wind and/or snow loads are your main concerns, don’t forget to ask our representatives about our wind warranties and how we can certify your unit when it comes to large amounts of snow.

Pre-Fabricated Buildings

Posted on July 29, 2016 by - ASI, Blog, Customer Builds, News/Press, Product Reviews, Promotions

Steel comes with a handful of benefits in comparison with other elements. The time a unit takes to construct may take longer than wished for but we simplified the process with our pre-fabricated buildings.

 

What does this mean?

 

This simply means your unit is drilled and welded at our factory. The components are then carefully loaded onto the trucks and sent off to your chosen construction site.

 

Read below to see the benefits of pre-manufactured buildings:

 

 

• Prices are discussed with you before installation. You will not have sudden price increase for the installation. This is because we provide you with a free estimate and installation.

 

•Installation may take hours or a couple of days. Whatever the time frame, both you and us, save ourselves the long hassle of erection period by a huge percentage.

 

•When the buildings are fabricated in the factory, scraps and other leftover material is kept for recycling. It would create a bigger mess if it were constructed on-site.

 

•Safety is first. Potential hazards are eliminated when the labor is done at our plant. Workers won’t be working in extreme weather for longer periods of time.

 

•Unpredicted weather is always a likely circumstance, we know this. The likelihood, however, is immensely decreased when you order from a company with pre-fabricated buildings like us.

 

But what makes us different from the others?

 

 

 

Our pre-fabricated buildings are Engineer-Certified to meet your state codes. We stand behind our product and provide you with the best customer service.

 

 

We also provide generic plans on most standard buildings at no extra charge. Additionally, our 360° roof bracing and wind warranty packages guarantee you with a long-lasting durable carport.

 

 

We like to keep things simple, and want you to have a smooth process when purchasing from us. That’s why we provide you with as much opportunities as we can.

 

 

Give us a call. We would love to hear from you.
