The order is placed. What now?

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.

 

Looking for a fully insulated workshop?

Posted on May 16, 2018 by - ASI, Blog, Customer Builds, Promotions, Steel Structures

American Steel Carports offers a great variety of metal buildings. Aside from your traditional metal building with a walk-in door and a window, we can go over the top with custom units that will suit all of your needs and specifications. You’ve got the idea; we’ll just follow your lead.

 

Custom units don’t necessarily need a ton of features and accessories if you don’t really want them, though. Insulation tends to be one of our most commonly considered options, but it is hardly ever bought. One of the main prerequisites for insulation to be added is that the panels (siding) of your unit must be fully vertical, keeping in mind that changing to vertical siding will increase the price of the metal building. Therefore, many customers prefer to add their own insulation. It’s important to let our customers know that adding any third-party insulation will void all of the warranties that the building might have, though.

 

Still have your doubts about insulation? Take a look at this 30’W x 51’L x 10’H custom metal workshop:

 

 

This metal workshop is fully vertical and fully insulated, with three (3) 10’ x 8’ openings (frame outs), seven (7) windows, a 36” x 72” walk-in door, an 8’ x 7’ roll-up door, and concrete anchors.

NOTE: American Steel Carports does not provide concrete work, and the surface area where the unit will be installed must be leveled.

It’s Time for a New Upgrade!

Posted on May 14, 2018 by - ASI, Blog, Customer Builds

Metal barns have been in the industry for many years, and steel barns come in many shapes and sizes.

 

Customization is a big part of our company. It attracts most of our customers because of all the designs that we’re capable of building. And with American Steel Carports, you get a metal structure that’s not only well-built, but also engineer-certified to last for many years.

 

Have you heard of our colonial or wainscoat style? How about our “Texas cuts”?

 

Our colonial or wainscoat style is a design that provides side panels of one color ascending the wall to about the half-way point, where they meet with a contrasting upper wall color. This two-tone effect makes your metal building more visually appealing. This option is free in buildings with horizontal siding. However, if your building is fully vertical, then this option would come with an additional price.

 

Texas cuts, or 45° angles, give your metal building a unique look. This type of cut can be applied to frame outs or openings. Be aware that this option does come with an additional price per opening.

 

Take a look at this 20’W x 26’L x 9’H metal garage that’s rocking our two features described above:

 

• A-Frame Vertical Roof

• 2 – 9’ x 7’ Roll-Up Doors

• 2 – 45° Frame Out

• Colonial Style

• Concrete Anchors

 

 

This metal building turned out great, the excellent combination of colors making it stand out from its surroundings.

 

You can create your own design, too! Give us a call to speak with one our team members. We will help you design and build the perfect structure for you! Don’t forget to ask about our financing options. Want to see our buildings in person? Ask for your local dealer!

Protect Your Second Home Too!

Posted on May 7, 2018 by - ASI, Blog, News/Press, Product Reviews, Questions, Steel Structures

Don’t leave you RV unprotected from the environment! Just as we need our RVs to give us roofs over our heads, our RVs deserve roofs of their own to keep them safe and protected.

 

Finding the perfect cover for RVs can be quite challenging, as they can vary considerably in height. One solution is paying to park your RV at a local RV parking spot. This might sound like a good plan, as your RV will be parked and protected and you save some space – but in the long run, that price you’re paying regularly could’ve been the total price you paid for an RV cover to be delivered and installed at home.

 

Remember that we can go taller than 12’ (what our flyers says). In fact, we can go as high as 20’ tall on our buildings, so covering an RV will not be a challenge for us! Take a look at this 24’W x 36’L x 14’H unit:

 

• A-Frame Vertical Roof

• 12-Gauge Galvanize Tubing

• 6′ Vertical Sides

• 2 – Vertical Gable Ends

• Concrete Anchors

 

 

*Disclaimer: Additional material might be required to meet local codes. Therefore, the inside design and pricing may vary by state.*

 

This RV cover is made in 12-gauge, which includes our 20-year limited warranty on rust-through of the framing. It also comes with a vertical roof, 6’ vertical sides (partially enclosed), two vertical gables, and concrete anchors.

 

There are endless ways to design that perfect metal building of your dreams! Give us a call now to speak with one of experts, and don’t forget to ask about our financing options. Want to see our buildings in person? Call now and ask for your local dealer!
