Steel Garages Make Life Easier

Metal garages are something we’ve long strived to perfect, because with the perfect metal garage, you’ll have plenty of storage space. You can put your lawnmower, weed eater, farm tools, and other equipment in a safe, dry space and still have enough room to park your car. And that, folks, is what makes metal garages and steel sheds among the most valuable additions to your home or workplace. They make life easier. Here’s how.

The right metal garage gives you easy access to just the right kind of storage space. This is especially true if you have a load of household possessions in need of storage and no place to put them. The perfect metal garage lets you store everything with confidence, where you know it will be dry and you know it won’t be subjected to weather damage or theft.

But how do you find the right metal garages? For a high-quality solution to your storage needs, metal garages from American Steel Carports provide lasting peace of mind. Take a look at this 30′W × 25′L × 9′H:

  • Vertical Roof
  • 12-Gauge Galvanize Tubing
  • 9’x7 Roll-Up Door
  • 16’x7′ Overhead Door
  • 36″x80″ Walk-In Door
  • 2 – Windows
  • L-Brackets

The steel construction is designed and engineered for long-lasting protection against rain, snow, sleet, and hail—not to mention damaging wind and rain. With the right steel garage, even pollen and debris are things of the past. You’ll save countless hours when you don’t have to wash your car of all the natural elements that might harm your perfect paint job. Metal garages provide shelter for your valuable vehicles and storage space for anything you can’t bear to see damaged by the hazards of nature.

You can customize the size and color of any metal building to your needs. Give us a call at 866-730-9865, and let our experts assist you in customizing the BEST structure within your BUDGET. Remember, delivery and installation are INCLUDED on your level land or concrete pad!

 Sustainable Building

Sustainable building has become an important factor in construction today.

Metal buildings are proving to be a good choice in this important aspect of building and have long incorporated a number of sustainable building practices. Steel is the primary building material, and it is the most recycled and recyclable building material available. Metal buildings often use recycled steel in all parts of their primary and secondary framing, metal roofing and wall panels. At the end of its current use, this steel is 100 percent recyclable. According to the Steel Recycling Institute (SRI), structural steel has a recycling rate of 98 percent. The steel that is used today will, whenever it has completed its job, be used again, lessening the environmental impact in the future. More information is available at the SRI website, www.recycle-steel.org.

The MBMA Life Cycle Analysis quantifies the importance of recycling, as it indicates that the upstream production of steel—extraction of raw materials and delivering the materials to the production facility—has the single most significant input driving the environmental impacts of steel used in metal buildings. Waste – or the lack of it – is another attractive aspect of metal buildings. The building materials used for the primary framing, secondary framing, and metal roof or wall cladding are custom engineered and produced for each building project to exacting specifications. During the fabrication phase, the amount of steel and other materials used in a metal building is optimized. Any excess materials used in the fabrication plant is reused or recycled. On the job site there is minimal waste to recycle, which may just include the shipping dunnage.

Many metal building providers have multiple production facilities around the country, so regionally-sourced materials are often available. And because the building materials are produced specifically, for each job, job site preparation can be focused, and disruption minimized. Once the materials are at the site, construction times are often faster than with traditional techniques and materials, keeping costs and environmental exposure to a minimum. Compared to other roofing materials, metal roofs have extended life spans, typically 40 years or more, and are completely recyclable when they do need to be replaced. These are a few, but certainly not all, of the benefits of metal building systems that also help to make them sustainable.

Your Custom 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.

Ready for the fall?

We’re transitioning from green, blossoming, and sunny weather, to colder weather with leaves everywhere. Fall might be many people’s favorite season, but for those who don’t like leaves on their vehicles, it might be pretty annoying. Why not keep your vehicle protected from the dust, leaves, and other natural elements with a steel carport that will stand strong against the beauty of nature?

Our company has been dedicated to building long-lasting steel structures for over 20 years. These light and portable metal buildings can be used to protect your vehicles, RVs, or any other belongings that are exposed to nature. Don’t think that the fact that these structures are light and portable means they are flimsy and cheap. In fact, we provide the exact opposite! Our metal structures are engineered with strength and durability in mind.

Take a look at the unique design of this 18’W x 26’L x 10’H partially enclosed standard carport:

Aside from rocking our Earth Brown color, the unique design of the sides of the carport going only 9’ long is very interesting, don’t you think?

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.

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

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!

Get Started on Your Future Project

Owning a metal building can be a simple matter if you follow the right procedures. Permits can be hard to obtain, depending on the county you’re located in, but it’s not impossible. The important thing is to know the dimensions you want for your building. Whether you’re considering getting a standard carport, a garage, a workshop, or even a barn, you have to decide how big it will to be. Of course, we can suggest sizes that might work, depending on what you will be storing inside, but remember, this is will be your property, and you know your own property better than anyone else.

After you decide on the size of the metal structure, you can consider whether you want any extra features, such as roll-up doors, walk-in doors, windows, or different styles of roof. You name it! Whatever idea you have for your metal structure, our specialists will know exactly how to work with it.

 

What about the positions of the doors and windows?

All our buildings are custom-made to satisfy your needs, so we will follow your plans and specifications.

This metal garage, measuring 24′W × 41′L × 9′H, is a good example of general ideas and the placement of doors and windows:

  • 12-Gauge Galvanized Tubing
  • A-Frame Vertical Roof
  • Horizontal Sides & Ends
  • 2 – 10’x8′ Roll-up Doors
  • 36″x80″ Walk-In Door
  • 2 – Windows

Metal garages like the ones we preview have become an inspiration for most of our customers. If they really like a building, they’ll stick with its size, features, and even colors. But you shouldn’t feel bound to a previous customer’s design; you can always change the dimensions, the placement of the doors and windows, and of course the color.

Interested in getting one yourself? Give us a call and speak with one of our experts! We’ll help you create the metal building of your dreams for an unbeatable price! Don’t forget to ask about our financing options.
