Simple carports can transform into something customized!

Metal steel carports have been in the industry for many years, offering great protection for your belongings. That’s why American Steel Carports is here to back you up! With over 15 years of experience, we know exactly how to install a strong and steady carport.

Customizing your metal carport is another key service that our company offers. Our experts can give you recommendations on certain sizes or dimensions. If you have an idea or a rough sketch of your dream building, let us help you bring it to life! It is important for us to build your unit according to your needs, whether you want a lean-to for storing extra equipment or additional shade, like in the building below:

  • 26’W x 41’L x 12’H (main unit)
  • 12-Gauge galvanize Tubing
  • Standard Roof
  • Horizontal Gable End (back end)
  • 12’W x 41’L x 11’/10’H Lean-To

 

The outcome of this customization was very beautiful! Our customer’s idea turned out to look incredible, especially since the metal carport is near the shore.

 

You can customize your unit, too! Give us a call and ask to speak with one of our sales representatives. They will go over your ideas until we can build you the perfect building. Whether your carport is custom or non-custom, we will explain the process to you in easy steps. Remember that we can provide a free sketch on how your unit will look if you need visual representation. Also, don’t forget to ask about our financing options, or click here for more information.

Custom Metal Carport

Posted on June 19, 2017 by - ASI, Blog, Customer Builds, Product Reviews

What if you want an open carport but you need the extra spacing on the sides?

 

At American Steel Carports, we want to accommodate all your needs. When it comes to carports, there are many ways to customize your building. Whether it’s an open carport or an enclosed metal building, we can help you personalize it.

 

Take a look at this 18′W × 26′L × 12′H from one of our customers in New Mexico. This custom carport has two 10′ headers, offering generous clearance and enough space for two decent-sized vehicles. Even with only one side in the carport, it provides enough shade for vehicles.

 

• A-Frame Vertical Roof

 

• Vertical Side

 

• Horizontal Gable End

 

• 2 – 10 ft Headers

 

• Concrete Anchors (90-mph Wind Warranty)

 

*Disclaimer: interior designs may vary by state or region. Above design is good for only for 30 PSF (ground snow load) may require additional trusses to meet local codes. Lateral support might be required based on wind loads*

 

Remember, you don’t need a concrete slab for most of our units under 30′ wide. However, it is important for your ground to be level in order for us to install your unit.

 

 

What are the wind rating and snow load?

 

American Steel Carports offers a 90-mph wind warranty with the purchase of all the anchors your unit needs. But this doesn’t mean we can’t certify your unit against even stronger winds. Please check with your county before making a purchase.

 

Snow loads also play a significant role, especially in northern states. Most of our units are certified for 30 lbs/ft2. But we can still certify your metal building according to your county’s requirements and specifications.
