Why Braces on Your Metal Carport?

Posted on July 17, 2018 by - ASI, Blog, Customer Builds, Questions

You give the anatomy of your carport a thorough inspection after installation. You notice the trim outlining the sides of your building and the anchors that are strongly holding it down, you go inside and start to wonder what makes a carport so resistant. The handful of wall and roof braces inside your building makes you question why they are important.

 

Carport stability should be the main concern for manufacturers. That’s why braces must be strong enough to stand against:

 

• Heavy rainstorms

• Harsh winds

• Earthquakes

• Time

 

Why are braces important? An earthquake can happen suddenly without warning and if you’re in an area where winds are constantly pushing and pulling, buildings need to have a strong foundation. They keep bolts attached to the carport to prevent forces from tearing the building apart.

 

Our products are reinforced with braces on every corner and in the center of every truss. They are put in place to ensure your shelter remains squared and stable for extra strength while preventing the roof from caving. American Steel Carports cares about quality over quantity. While other companies don’t provide this fortification, we ensure that our metal units come equipped to withstand strong elements. Further, after 15 years in this industry we have noted that customers reach out to us after failing their local inspection test with other companies that do not provide this feature.

 

At American Steel Carports we proudly stand behind our products. After your installation, rest assured that your valuable assets will be protected with nothing but the best quality for you. Our engineer certified structures also come with a 4 season workmanship warranty to further attend your needs. If you care about protecting your investments why not choose the best? Versatile. Strong. Built to Last. Go ahead and give us a call, we’ll be more than happy to hear from you.

Not Your Typical Garage

Posted on July 2, 2018 by - ASI, Blog, Customer Builds, Steel Structures

Heavy machinery tends to need more storage space, especially if we’re talking about the height of the building. Some machines can easily overpass 12’ in height. As with RVs, you need plenty of clearance and space for moving your unit in and out of your garage or RV cover.

 

So, what should you do? Well, at American Steel Carports, we design our buildings according to your needs and preferences. Some of our customers have gotten discouraged when they saw our flyers saying we create buildings up 12’. Actually, we can go taller than that—in fact, the tallest we can go is 20’. We don’t include taller sizes because of local codes and regulations. Not all states and cities have the same codes when it comes to metal buildings taller than 12’.

 

Take a closer look at this 30’ W x 51’ L x 16’ H in 12-gauge:

 

 

*NOTE: Interior designs may vary by state or region.

 

With a building of this size, you can create your own workshop for working on your vehicles while you’re keeping your equipment protected from inclement weather.

 

If you’re looking for something similar, give us a call and ask to speak with one of our sales representatives. Remember that all of our metal buildings can be customized to meet all your needs and expectations. Whatever color or size you want, we’re here to help you out. Call us now, and don’t forget to ask about our financing options.
