Posted on November 19, 2018 by - A-Frame Vertical, ASI, Custom, Customer Builds, Steel Structures

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

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

Posted on November 12, 2018 by - A-Frame Vertical, ASI, Blog, Buildings, Custom, Customer Builds, Informative, Spotlight, Steel Structures

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

Why a Metal Roof?

Posted on September 25, 2018 by - A-Frame Horizontal, A-Frame Vertical, Agricultural, ASI, Barn, Blog, Buildings, Carports, Custom, Customer Builds, Garage, RV Carports, Standard, Steel Structures, Workshop

Metal roof systems have always been known for their long lives, but exactly how long they last has been a subject of debate.

According to a 2014 study conducted by the Metal Construction Association and the Zinc Aluminum Coaters Association, the projected service life for GALVALUME® standing-seam roof systems is a minimum of 60 years. This is the longest service life of any commonly used roof system on the market. Interestingly, this was calculated using a conservative estimate of the expected lifespan of the butyl sealant used in laps, flashings, and penetrations. In a 2015 study, the National Coil Coating Association reviewed data on pre-painted PVDF fluoropolymer metal panels subjected to exposure testing in South Florida. They concluded it was reasonable to project a minimum service life of 40 years for these.

As with any roofing material, proper design, detailing, installation, and maintenance are critical to achieving the best performance and service life. However, all roof systems, including metal ones, eventually need to be replaced or re-covered. What happens then?

As a roofing professional, building owners will turn to you for advice on whether to replace or re-cover their existing metal roof systems. When considering the re-cover option, there are several elements to keep in mind to maximize the longevity of the new roof system.

Replace vs. Re-cover

There are two types of metal roof system: structural and nonstructural. Structural systems’ panel profiles can generally carry significant wind and snow loads over framing members spaced at intervals up to 5 feet. Structural panels are typically characterized by significant rib dimensions to provide the necessary strength, and they are used in metal building system applications. Nonstructural metal roof systems require a structural deck or substrate to support the new roof and loads. This article focuses on structural systems because these are more common.

According to the Metal Building Manufacturers Association’s historical shipment data, there are billions of square feet of structural metal roofing currently on buildings that are more than 40 years old.

The advantage of replacing a roof system is that it allows vinyl-faced insulation, which may have deteriorated over time, to be removed and replaced. However, this can present some challenges, as the process also exposes the building and its contents to the elements, and this exposure can be prolonged if other structural elements must be added.

The advantage of re-covering a roof is that the original materials can remain in place to protect the interior during installation of the new materials, allowing the building’s normal operations to continue. Re-covering takes full advantage of the existing insulation with the option of easily adding more, increasing the building’s energy efficiency. Keeping the original roof system in place also provides a safer work surface than open framing for the workers installing the new system. In addition, re-covering reduces landfill waste and the need for a large laydown area for temporary storage of old roofing materials. All these factors can lead to a lower cost for re-covering than for replacement.

Many conventional roof systems have inherent excess capacity because their structural systems are not amenable to optimization. However, metal roof and metal building systems can be highly optimized for design load requirements so that materials can be used more efficiently. Because of this, the materials used during a re-cover installation must be lightweight (less than 3 pounds per square foot) so structural modifications are not needed or are kept to a minimum to carry the added roofing materials.

Your Custom Workshop

Posted on September 24, 2018 by - ASI, Blog, Garage, Lifestyle, Steel Structures, Workshop

Need a workshop where you can work on your vehicles? Want to add your own personal touch or your own features? If the answer is yes, then you’ve come to the right place! With 20 years in the industry, American Steel Carports knows exactly how to customize and install metal buildings to provide you with a great experience!

All year round, your vehicles are subject to natural elements that wear them down. Throughout the summer, the beating sun bleaches their color. During the winter, they are hit with cold snaps, harsh winds, and heavy snowfall. Our steel buildings are perfect for handling adverse weather conditions, and our goal is to provide you with a strong building that will last for many years.

Customization is key to the ideal metal building. The color, size, and additional features that we offer play an important role for our customers. Remember that all of our metal buildings can be customized according to your needs and preferences. Did you know that we can also do frame-outs (openings)? As we discussed in our previous blog (click here to read it), you can always add on to your metal building, including different types of windows, walk-in doors, roll-up doors, etc. The only drawback of this is that any warranty your metal building has will be voided.

Take a look at this fully vertical 26’W x 43’L x 12’H metal workshop:

This building comes with two (2) 12’ x 10’ roll-up doors (on the side), two (2) walk-in doors (on the side), and eight (8) custom window frame outs.

The Right Protection for the Right Price

Triple-wide units offer the space to store your equipment, create your own workshop, or protect multiple vehicles from harsh weather. And did you know that customization plays a big role in most of the buildings we sell? Unlike other materials, steel can be shaped however you like, offering you protection, durability, and versatility.

Did you know we offer skylights?

Our skylights can provide natural lighting inside of your metal building. Although windows can be used for the same purpose, some of our customers prefer skylights.

Take this 30’W x 51’L x 12’H fully vertical metal building:

  • A-Frame Vertical
  • Vertical Sides & Ends
  • 3 – 10×10 Roll-Up Doors (side)
  • 36×80 Walk-In Door (side)
  • 3 – 3×8 Skylights
  • Concrete Anchors w/ L-Brackets

Please be aware that skylights can be installed on vertical roofs ONLY.

Did you know we offer insulation?

American Steel Carports offers insulation that provides your metal unit with a thermal, radiation, and vapor barrier (R Value 16). This means that you’ll have a cool, dry structure in the summer and a warm, dry structure in the winter. Insulation can also be applied to vertical siding units.

This metal building might be the largest size in our flyers, but don’t let that trick you. If you’re looking for something wider, larger, or even taller, we can help you make it happen! Contact us now and let one of our sales representatives help you find and customize the perfect metal building for you needs!

Plenty of Space for Your Belongings

Posted on July 23, 2018 by - ASI, Blog, Customer Builds, Steel Structures

Have you ever found yourself needing more space for all your valuables? We often collect more things than we need at home without thinking about the space we have available. And this is just one scenario. Maybe you like to work on vehicles and would prefer a metal building to use as a workshop to protect yourself and the car from the elements.

 

 

If your situation resembles either of these typical ones, you’ve come to the right place. American Steel Carports will help you construct the metal building or garage you’re looking for. When it comes to protecting your belongings, we provide nothing but engineer-certified metal structures that are built to last.

 

Take a look at this 30′W × 41′L × 9′H three-bay metal building:

 

 

*Disclaimer: Prices are subject to change at any time without notice. Please contact our sales department for our latest prices.*

 

This metal building comes with a vertical roof, a walk-in door, three 10′ × 8′ roll-up doors, and concrete anchors.

 

Metal buildings with garage doors on the side are pretty functional, and they usually cost less—it’s cheaper to increase the length than the width. But we can always adjust the dimension to your needs and expectations. Want to add features like windows? Or maybe you live in a snowy area and want to make the whole unit vertical. Or perhaps making the building even longer? Give us a call and let one of our experts help you customize the metal building you’re looking for.
