Your Perfect Garage

Posted on August 6, 2018 by - ASI, Blog, Customer Builds, Steel Structures

Metal buildings have unlimited uses. Whether you’re looking a storage unit to protect your belongings, a metal carport for parking your vehicle in the shade, a metal garage to secure your vehicles from the inclement weather, a barn for your livestock and farm equipment, etc., the options are unlimited. It is up to you to decide what you want and transform your idea into an actual metal structure that will meet all of your needs and expectations.

 

According to our sales team, one of the best-selling buildings this year has been our metal garages. Protecting your vehicle(s) from the natural elements is definitely recommendable; it might seem like a big expense at the moment, but it will help in the long run. With American Steel Carports, you will keep your vehicle(s) inside a metal structure capable of withstanding 90-mph winds and 30 lbs. PSF ground snow load. This 20’W x 31’L x 10’H metal garage is a perfect example of what we’re talking about:

 

 

This metal garage comes with a vertical roof, a 16’ x 8’ overhead door, a walk-in door, two (2) windows, and concrete anchors with L-brackets.

 

*Although American Steel Carports does not install garage openers, our overhead doors are made for garage openers. The customer is responsible for that additional feature. *

Is It Too Soon to Be Ready for the Winter?

Posted on July 30, 2018 by - ASI, Blog, Customer Builds, Questions, Steel Structures

July is pretty much gone, and fall and winter will be here sooner that you think, so no, it’s not too soon to be thinking about winter. Your farm equipment, bicycles, tools, tractors, even your vehicles—you might want to think of a place to secure all these things when the weather starts to change.

 

The main concern in the summer is having a carport to keep your vehicle in the shade. And that’s smart—a carport can protect your vehicle from direct sunlight—but have you considered an enclosed metal unit instead?

 

The price might increase because of the sides and garage doors, and more if you add features like windows, walk-in doors, or insulation. But there are advantages to consider too. Carports provide shade and partial protection, but an enclosed building can keep your small valuables and even your big toys well-protected. And if you’re considering making your metal building a workshop, you can opt for a vertical-siding unit that can be insulated. American Steel Carports offers insulation (R value 16) only for buildings with vertical siding.

 

This 24′W × 41′L × 12′H fully vertical metal building is an example of what we’re talking about:

 

• Fully Vertical

• 14-Gauge

• 2 – 10’x10′ Roll-Up Doors

• Walk-In Door (side)

• Fully Insulated

• L-Brackets

 

This building is fully insulated. R value 16 comes with a vapor and radiant barrier protection, meaning you’ll have a cool, dry structure in the summer and a warm, dry structure in the winter. If you’d like to learn more about our insulation, click here.

 

All our belongings need to be secure and protected, so consider the advantages of acquiring a fully enclosed metal building. Remember, all our units can be modified according to your needs. If insulation wouldn’t benefit you, we can always remove it. Contact us now to talk to one of our building specialists, and they will help you customize the best structure within your budget. Don’t forget to ask about our financing options.

 

Your Toys Need Protection!

Posted on July 18, 2018 by - ASI, Blog, Customer Builds, Questions, Steel Structures

Finding the right size building can be challenging—especially for a customer who possesses more than one big toy. Heavy machinery, large equipment, motorcycles, tractors, and even trucks require adequate storage space not only to keep them safe from the environment but also to allow you easy access. Customers storing such toys typically prefer or even need space to open doors, load, unload, and generally maneuver around their vehicles. American Steel Carport is here to help you build that perfect garage or workshop to keep your toys safe.

 

Take a look at this 30’W x 31’L x 12’H metal building:

 

• Fully Vertical

• 12-Gauage

• 2 – 10’x10′ Roll-Up Doors

• 6’x7′ Roll-Up Door

• Fully Insulated

 

This building has three roll-up doors positioned on the front end. Additionally, the structure comes fully vertical and fully insulated.

 

You can create your own design as well! Our experts are standing by to help you customize your metal garage! If you really like the design of this example but don’t want any insulation or vertical siding, we can always adjust such features for you. In fact, all of our buildings can be customized according to your needs. Call us now, and place your order today! Don’t forget to ask about available financing options!

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.

Metal Building with a Lean-To

Posted on April 17, 2017 by - A-Frame Horizontal, ASI, Blog, Customer Builds, Questions, Steel Structures

Additional Extensions to Your Metal Storage Building

Lean-tos are very handy when it comes to additions. They don’t just offer protection—they can also serve as extra space or a small carport for your vehicle! Most of our customers prefer a 3-foot or larger drop on their lean-tos, but remember that it’s your choice how to enhance your metal building!

Types of Lean-Tos:

We offer two different styles when it comes to lean-tos. The first one is the regular drop lean-to. As explained earlier, this lean-to has a gap from the original height, coming down to whichever height you prefer.

The second style is a continuous lean-to, which means that there’s no gap in between the first height from the second one. You can see the sample of a continuous lean-to below:

What Makes American Steel Carports Different?

Unlike other companies, we provide the right number of trusses in order to protect our metal buildings from the environment. However, we also recommend that you acquire our concrete, mobile home, or asphalt anchors in order to avoid disastrous situations. Another of our features is that we count with a variety of sizes when it comes to roll-up and overhead doors.

Here is a great example of a metal building with a continuous lean-to.

  • 26’W x 31’L x 11’H
  • 14-Gauge Galvanized Tubing
  • A-Frame Horizontal Roof
  • 36″ x 72″ Walk-In Door (on the side)
