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!

There’s Still Plenty of Time to Place Your Order

Posted on February 20, 2018 by - ASI, Blog, Steel Structures

Still debating about getting a brand-new metal workshop for your toys? Don’t know exactly what you’re looking for? You still have enough time to place your order or get help finding the right building for you.

 

Our metal workshops offer the protection, versatility, and durability that you need. We’re proud to say that all of our metal units are engineer-certified! This means that you won’t have to worry about your metal building not been able to withstand whatever is thrown at it.

 

It’s extremely recommendable to visit your local building department to get a permit before purchasing your metal unit; the local building department will tell you the exact requirements for your area. Whether your metal building needs to hold over 40 PSF snow loads or withstand winds of over 90 mph, American Steel Carports will certify it.

 

This 30’W x 51’L x 12’H metal workshop is a perfect example of what we can do:

 

• Fully Vertical

• 3 – 10’x10′ Roll-Up Doors (on the side) .

• 36″x80″ Walk-In Door (on the side)

 

 

Because this metal workshop is fully vertical, it allows natural elements such as dirt, water, and snow to slide off without the need for constant maintenance. Also, having your roll-up doors on the side can give you plenty of advantages when it comes to this type of building, since it’s cheaper to grow in length than in width.

 

You can customize your metal building, too! Give us a call and ask to speak with one of our sales representatives. The metal workshop of your dreams could be one call away!

 

Looking for a different style? Call us, and we will help you customize the metal building that suits you best. Financing available!

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)
  • 18 x 9 Roll-Up Door
  • 12 x 30 x 8 Continuous Lean-To
  • A-Frame Horizontal Roof
  • (1) Full Side

American Steel Carports will take care of the delivery and installation of your metal building on your level site or concrete slab. We want to make sure that our buildings meet your expectations and needs. Remember that you can always give us a call for more information. One of our sales representatives will assist you and answer any questions you might have about our buildings. You can also check our other blogs for more important information and images of buildings that we’ve recently installed.

Pre-Fabricated Buildings

Posted on July 29, 2016 by - ASI, Blog, Customer Builds, News/Press, Product Reviews, Promotions

Steel comes with a handful of benefits in comparison with other elements. The time a unit takes to construct may take longer than wished for but we simplified the process with our pre-fabricated buildings.

 

What does this mean?

 

This simply means your unit is drilled and welded at our factory. The components are then carefully loaded onto the trucks and sent off to your chosen construction site.

 

Read below to see the benefits of pre-manufactured buildings:

 

 

• Prices are discussed with you before installation. You will not have sudden price increase for the installation. This is because we provide you with a free estimate and installation.

 

•Installation may take hours or a couple of days. Whatever the time frame, both you and us, save ourselves the long hassle of erection period by a huge percentage.

 

•When the buildings are fabricated in the factory, scraps and other leftover material is kept for recycling. It would create a bigger mess if it were constructed on-site.

 

•Safety is first. Potential hazards are eliminated when the labor is done at our plant. Workers won’t be working in extreme weather for longer periods of time.

 

•Unpredicted weather is always a likely circumstance, we know this. The likelihood, however, is immensely decreased when you order from a company with pre-fabricated buildings like us.

 

But what makes us different from the others?

 

 

 

Our pre-fabricated buildings are Engineer-Certified to meet your state codes. We stand behind our product and provide you with the best customer service.

 

 

We also provide generic plans on most standard buildings at no extra charge. Additionally, our 360° roof bracing and wind warranty packages guarantee you with a long-lasting durable carport.

 

 

We like to keep things simple, and want you to have a smooth process when purchasing from us. That’s why we provide you with as much opportunities as we can.

 

 

Give us a call. We would love to hear from you.

 

9 Reasons Why You Should Get An Agricultural Building

Posted on July 25, 2016 by - ASI, Blog, Customer Builds, News/Press, Product Reviews, Promotions

Are you a farmer? Perhaps you’re an avid hunter? Or maybe an animal lover?

 

 

When you decide on purchasing a metal carport you are setting yourself up with many opportunities. Whether you need extra space for your animals and tools, a steel agricultural building is the way to go.

 

 

    • Live out in the country? Our agricultural barns are composed of 3 sections. Each compartment can be used to separate livestock from tools and feed all within one spacious unit. Choose from our Standard, A-Frame Vertical, A-Frame Horizontal, and Hexagon styles.

 

    • Maybe you live in the suburbs, and need that extra storage. With an agricultural building you can store your recreational vehicle, fishing boat, gator, or four-wheeler.

 

    • Because most steel structures are prefabricated, you save time and money. Orders are manufactured at our factory where they are then delivered and installed on-site within a matter of hours. Most importantly, pre-fabricated units can withstand a high degree of strength regarding animal kicks.

 

    • Steel is also easy to work with, giving you the liberty to choose what size and shape you desire with no limits as with wood. You can add horse stalls, shelves, kitchen counters, or sinks to make your unit more resourceful.

 

    • Quality is another aspect that makes steel the best choice for agricultural buildings. Steel carports are effective as the manufacturer it came from. The average lifespan depends on the quality of the parts a company uses for their units.

 

    • Your livestock, tools, and crops will be protected against nature’s unpredicted weather. A sturdy well-made carport will last an average of 25-30 years.

 

    • There’s more than what meets the eye. Steel carports, in general, are energy efficient. This means you won’t have to worry nor waste money on electric garage openers, excessive lighting, and other utilities. Steel units are well ventilated and provide shade for your equipment and livestock, and hunting gear. Your livestock can rest with the adequate ventilation.

 

    • With an agricultural metal barn, you can have a peace of mind knowing you are using the most recyclable material in the world. You can always sell your steel for scrap when it is no longer useful to you.

 

    • Maybe you want skylights instead of electric lights, or need an extra window – these metal barns can be customized to fit your necessities. We also offer hexagon buildings and loafing sheds apart from our agricultural metal barns.

 

 

 

 

With our Engineer Certified barns, you acquire units strong enough to withstand vicious winds, heavy snow loads, hail, and other elements. We offer high quality products for a great price with many different warranty packages to choose from. Furthermore, you can supplement additional accessories to reinforce your product. Options include  90+ mph wind warranty, solar air vents, and colored screws.

 

 

 

Walking down the gravel road that leads straight to your Barn Red and White-trimmed carport, you begin to hear the restlessness of your pets as they await your presence. A fresh passing of air replaces the beating heat as you enter the spacious barn. Scents of freshly-cut hay and feed mixes with the sweet scent of your horse’s apple wafers as you rip open the bag. You look up and see sun beams gleaming through the barn’s skylights down onto the hazy environment.
