4 Things to Consider When Buying a Carport

Posted on March 22, 2018 by - ASI, Blog, Customer Builds, News/Press, Questions

Since their initial appearance back in the early 1900’s, carports have had a substantial high demand in the market. Because the industry has grown more complex, consumers have to put more thought into what unit to choose and who they are buying from. From car coverage and protection to workshop areas, the uses of these metal buildings are limitless. However, there are a few things  you should consider before buying a carport, from quality to the work ethic of the business. The process of purchasing a product should run smoothly and be an excellent experience from the sale representatives and the manufacturer to the customer service and installation process. We want you to be satisfied with your decision. That’s why we’ve created a list of important things to consider when buying a carport. Read below for some food for thought.

 

 

Top Factors to Reflect Upon

 

• You must decide if you want to purchase your building from a local or online dealer. Many of our  clients buy our carports from local dealerships where they’re surrounded by one or more of our demo displays, thus giving them a personal glimpse. You can also contact us directly by calling our shops in Texas, Pennsylvania, Illinois, New Mexico, and Indiana, which service more than half the states of the nation.

 

• Take note on what you are looking for. Perhaps you simply need space to park your car or need a larger building to store large capacity vehicles. We offer different roof styles such as an A-Frame Vertical Roof, A-Frame Horizontal Roof, and a standard roof that will better suit your needs and satisfactions. Our knowledged staff can give you suggestions if you have any doubts regarding your choices.

 

• Prior to choosing a carport location, check your local code specifications. It is important to consider your area’s building permit laws: you may need one to have a building on your property. You should also make sure, before installation, that the flooring is prepared ‒ whether it’d be concrete, asphalt, or plain ground. The geographic of your structure location should be leveled.

 

• Consider investing in any additional add-ons. We offer skylights that allow the sun to shine through your structure, dismissing the hassle of electric costs and light installation. Depending on the flooring we also provide concrete, asphalt, or mobile home anchors for extra reinforcement that will maintain your carport secure.

 

 

We aim to keep our clients satisfied before, during, and after installation day. If you order a product from our company, you will receive engineered certified steel structures with free shipping and installation. With these services we include you won’t have to worry about transportation or construction issues. Our buildings will last for years, so we know you need a company who will be there for you and support the product you purchased, and who will stand behind it. This is what sets us different from the rest. Choose your carport manufacturer wisely, choose American Steel Carports, Inc.

3-Bay Metal Building

Posted on January 15, 2018 by - ASI, Blog, Customer Builds, Questions, Steel Structures

If you have multiple vehicles at your house, it may be a little challenging to get every single one protected from the weather, especially if the only garage you have is the one attached to your house. Moving the other cars just to get one out can be quite annoying, too, especially if you’re in a hurry or the weather isn’t cooperating.

 

This scenario happens pretty often. That’s why American Steel Carports encourages you to acquire a 3-bay metal garage for your vehicles. The big advantage of having your garage doors on the side of the building, instead of the end, is that expanding in length is not as expensive as expanding in width. End walls are pricier due to the material needed. With your garage doors on the side, your cars will be just as secure, and at a lower cost.

 

Take a look at this 26’W x 36’L x 12’H 3-bay metal building as an example:

 

• A-Frame Vertical Roof

• Horizontal Sides & Ends

• 2 – Windows

• 36×80 Walk-In Door

• 3 – 10×10 Roll-Up Doors (on the side)

*Disclaimer: interior designs may vary by state or region. Buildings may require additional trusses to meet local codes. Prices are subject to change at any time without notice. Please contact our sales department for our latest prices.

 

Remember that we can always adjust the length, width, and height according to your needs. Door sizes can always be changed. The pictures are just examples of designs and styles that our customers opt for according to their specifications and tastes.

 

You can always come up with your own design as well. If you have a project in mind, or if you’re looking for a more customized building, give us a call! Let one of our sales representatives assist you. Keep in mind that we can always provide a free sketch for visual purposes until we get to your desired design. Don’t forget to ask for our financing options!

Remember that the buildings we post are just live examples of our customers’ creations and ideas. The dimensions and features such as doors, windows, colors, etc. can always be changed according to your needs and specifications. Another important fact to keep in mind is that concrete pads are always optional according to the type of building. If a building exceeds 30 feet in width, then it’s necessary to have a concrete pad, but anything below that can be installed on the ground or asphalt.

 

Take this 20’W x 21’L x 8’H storage building as an example:

 

 

This metal storage building is rocking our pewter gray color. It also has a 10’ x 8’ roll-up door and a 36” x 72” walk-in door on the side, and it comes with our 90-mph wind warranty when all of the required concrete anchors are purchased.

Metal Garage in New Mexico

Posted on November 6, 2017 by - ASI, Blog, Customer Builds, Product Reviews, Steel Structures

Allow your metal building to withstand all seasons with no problem at all!

 

When it comes to protection for your vehicle, there are many factors to consider before purchasing a metal garage. Depending on where you live, some factors will include snow loads, heavy rain, strong winds, etc. Lucky for you, American Steel Carports builds nothing but engineer-certified metal buildings.

 

Our A-frame vertical roof is the strongest of all. This option is engineered to allow snow, dirt, and rain to slide off without any difficulty. The ribs on the panels run from the peak of the roof toward the eaves. Hat channels are also added to further support the vertically running metal sheets. Remember that this roof style comes with a 6” overhang around the carport/garage, blocking a high percentage of precipitation from entering the unit.

 

Take a look at this 18’W x 26’L x 9’H in 14-Gauge metal building installed in Gallup, NM:

 

 

This metal building has our vertical roof with horizontal sides and ends and is rocking our pebble beige and earth brown colors. This building also has our 90-mph wind warranty, which becomes available when our customers purchase all of the required anchors.

 

Remember that American Steel Carports DOES NOT offer any concrete work, so the ground surface must be level before we can install your metal building.

 

Does it snow frequently in your area? Give us a call and let one of our sales representatives help you customize your metal building by adding extra reinforcement. Not sure what your building will look like? We can provide you with a sketch for visual purposes so that we’re on the same page according to your expectations. Remember, this is your building, your creation—and we want to deliver the best experience possible with our company.

Add Value to Your Property

Posted on October 9, 2017 by - ASI, Blog, Customer Builds

Aside from the options for customizing your metal building, there are many reasons to add one of our structures to your property. These are not only the obvious reasons, but also certain benefits that you might not know about yet. The carport industry has recently gone through many changes, and so have we. As such, we have made a large amount of improvements to our products with the help of our highly skilled engineers.

 

One of the biggest benefits of owning a metal carport is protecting your belongings from the weather. Even when you park your vehicle under a shady tree, the normal heat and light from the sun can increase the temperatures inside, causing extensive damage over time. The best alternative is to park it under a metal carport or garage. This will decrease the amount of damage caused by weather factors.

 

Do you know that you can also reduce criminal activity with a metal carport? As crazy as it sounds, if you keep the area well-lit, it can be repellent to criminal activity against your vehicle because of the increased visibility.

 

Since we’re talking about metal carports, why not taking a look at this 22’ x 36’ x 12’ standard carport?

 

• 3′ Sides

• Gable End (back end)

•12-Gauge Galvanized Tubing

 

It’s spacious enough to cover an RV or any other type of big vehicle. Remember that we can always change the dimensions according to your needs. If you need us to go taller than 12’, we can do it!

 

Give us a call! Let our experts help you customize your metal carport/garage. Don’t forget to ask about our financing options. Remember, you can place your order with only a 10% down payment!
