Amazing Metal Buildings Come from Amazing Ideas.

Posted on May 2, 2017 by - ASI, Blog, Customer Builds, Steel Structures

Most of our designs come from our customers’ most valuable ideas—the ideas that complement the very idea of what a metal building is. Customization helps us implement these ideas.

When it comes to customized metal buildings, our clients’ biggest fear is that our units won’t withstand harsh weather. To verify your specific local wind rates, you’ll have to contact your city’s building department. But the main protection we offer is the addition of anchors. We do offer rebar anchors (temporary anchors) for free, although they don’t come with any guarantee. Much better are our asphalt and concrete mobile home anchors, which have a warranty for winds of up to 90 mph.

What happens if the winds are stronger?

If the winds are stronger, we start by adding more trusses. In some cases, we add bigger peak and corner braces.

American Steel Carports does not do any concrete work, but we do offer our customers recommendations for concrete foundations. This a good example of one of our customers in Portales, New Mexico:

• 22′ x 26′ x 10′

• A-Frame Horizontal Roof

• 14-Gauge Galvanize Tubing

• 3 – 9×7 Roll-Up Doors (2 on left side, 1 on right side)

• 36×80 Walk-In Door (front end)

• 12′ x 26′ x 10’/8′ Lean-To

• Continuous Roof

• 25′ Double Bar Header (for Lean-To)

*DISCLAIMER: Headers may vary upon county regulations or snow loads. Prices are subject to change at any time without notice. Please contact our sales department for our latest prices.*

If you have any specific requirements, don’t hesitate to let our sales representatives know. Together we can develop your ideas and make them come true. We can create sketches to help you fully visualize them and make sure that every little detail has been taken care of.

We also offer financing! Click here to check the requirements and see our applications, or give us a call to get more information. You can keep up with our most recent installs if you click on our blog section.

Simple, Small, but Resistant

Posted on April 25, 2017 by - ASI, Blog, Customer Builds, Questions, Steel Structures

 

At American Steel Carports, we want our buildings to meet all your needs and expectations. We can accommodate your specific requirements, especially when it comes to building permits. We can add as much material as it takes to get the unit fully protected and certified to the requirements of the city.

It is important that you talk to your local building department to verify all the state codes, because not all states or even cities within a state have the same ones.

 

 

What if you need extra spacing on the sides?

 

Our buildings come with specific numbers of legs to withstand the wind and other elements. But that doesn’t mean there’s nothing we can do to customize to your needs. Here is a notable example of a carport for a customer who decided to add two headers to the sides for extra spacing or to park a small vehicle:

 

• 10’W x 21’L x 8’H

• 12-Gauge galvanized tubing

• A-Frame Vertical Roof (Earth Brown)

• 2 – 9′ Header (one on each side)

• Concrete Anchors (90-mph wind warranty)

 

 

The outcome was beautiful, and the colors matched the house and the environment. Please be aware that headers will reduce the side opening height by approximately 6″ – 24″ depending on state codes and length of the header. We will have to reinforce the structure with extra material in order to provide durability.

 

You can come up with your own ideas. If you have a project in mind, don’t hesitate to give us a call! A sales representative will go over the project with you so that we can find just the metal building you’re looking for. We can also draw sketches to ensure that customization and features, such as doors, windows, gables, siding, and headers, are in the right places before you make your final decision.

Metal Workshop in New Mexico

Posted on March 15, 2017 by - ASI, Blog, Customer Builds, Questions, Steel Structures

Workshop time!

It’s been three months since the new year began and so far, workshops top the list of the most bought structures this year. With the great quality materials we offer, it’s no wonder that our customers buy our buildings again and again.

Our metal steel buildings can be used as workshops, man caves, or even garages! Depending on the features and options you add to your structure, you can customize it to create exactly the building you need.

So far the wind has been a concern for many states due to the inclement weather adapting itself to the beginning of the spring. Keep in mind that we can certify your metal building in order to withstand those strong winds and harsh weather conditions.

Take a look at this 30′ x 51′ x 12′ metal building used as a workshop:

  • 12-Gauge (20-year limited warranty on rust through of framing)
  • One-year Workmanship Warranty
  • A-Frame Vertical Roof
  • 2 – 10 x 10 Roll-Up Doors  (on the side)
  • 2 – Windows
  • 90-Mph Wind Warranty (Concrete Anchors)

 

 

With our A-Frame Vertical roof, it gives the workshop a very unique, residential style, so that it will blend perfectly with the surrounding buildings.

Remember, delivery and installation is included as long as your land is level. Our one-year workmanship warranty ensures the durability and strength of our steel buildings, no matter the season or weather conditions.

The Importance of Having Mobile Home/Asphalt/Concrete Anchors

Posted on March 10, 2017 by - ASI, Blog, News/Press, Questions, Videos

“Why do I need a wind warranty? Nothing happens here anyway! The anchors are an unnecessary expense! I’ll just stick with the rebar anchors.”

 

These are some of the comments that we hear all the time. However, strong winds can always catch us by surprise, especially at the start of summer. It’s better to stay safe than be sorry later on.

 

One of the things you must know is that we do offer free rebar anchors (measuring 30”), but those are only temporary—they don’t come with any type of warranty. That’s why is important for you to consider one of our three other anchor choices that will prevent any type of damage to your carport.

 

We offer both asphalt and mobile home anchors (both measuring 30”) for $25.00 each. Both of these types of anchors stick up 2/5 inches off the ground (the same as the base rail). We also offer concrete anchors (measuring 7”) for $10.00 each.

 

Here are two examples of why it is so important for you to consider purchasing anchors instead of getting our free rebar ones:

 

 

 

 

 

 

It might seem as if the anchors would not make a difference, but they do, especially in the southern areas of the country.

 

 

Nobody but you knows the exact wind scenarios of your area. If you’re not sure about your wind concerns, you can always go to your local building department for more detailed information. Remember, we’re here to help! If you want us to certify your metal building for winds above 90 mph, let us know! We will have our engineering department help build your metal carport or metal garage to withstand those winds.

 

Give us a call! A sales representative will assist you with all of your questions and doubts. And don’t forget to look at our other products for more ideas or check our blog posts for examples of recent buildings.

 

 

Utility Carport Installed in Colorado

Posted on October 28, 2016 by - ASI, Blog, Customer Builds, Promotions

Have you heard of our utility buildings? Many of our customers opt to have a utility unit instead of a regular garage. These units don’t only offer protection for your vehicle; they can also work as a storage room. The storage spacing varies depending on our customers’ needs. Some of our customers expand the storage room to use it as an extended garage or even as their own shop. Regardless of how you plan to use the storage room, we want to meet your expectations and needs.

 

 

We know our buildings can be a high investment, but we want to give you the most durable material, and most importantly, a product that is engineer-certified.

 

 

A good example of this storage room is this utility carport installed in Trinidad, Colorado.

 

•18’W x 31’L x 7’H

•A-Frame Vertical Roof

•10-Ft. Storage Room

•8 x 6 Roll-Up Door

•36″ x 72″ Walk-In Door (on the side)

 

 

 

Because the building has an A-frame vertical roof (with panels running from the roof peak toward the eaves), it allows snow, dirt, water, and leaves to run off easily, so you won’t have to worry about maintenance for a long time.

 

The unit has a 20-ft. carport and a 10-ft. storage room. Remember, the spacing and design can adapt to your unique needs.
