Metal Garage with Skylights

Posted on January 23, 2018 by - ASI, Blog, Customer Builds, Product Reviews

Need additional illumination for your metal garage/workshop? Have you considered adding skylights to your metal building?

 

As we all know, illumination is very important when it comes to metal buildings, especially fully enclosed ones. Even with roll-up doors and windows, sometimes there’s not enough sunlight coming through. To rectify this, American Steel Carports offers 2 different skylight sizes: 3×8 and 3×4. Whether you have a small mini-storage building or a big metal barn, you would always have the option to add skylights. Also, please note that skylights can only be installed in vertical siding roofs.

 

Besides of the features we offer to customize your metal building, you can always customize its size. Remember, all of the blogs and pictures we post are live examples of our customers’ creations. You can base your own ideas on those, or, if you really like a building, you can always build yours to match it. And with 12 different colors to choose from at no additional cost, you can add your own personal touch.

 

Take this 30’W x 51’L x 12’H metal garage as an example:

 

• A-Frame Vertical Roof

• Horizontal Sides & Ends

• 3 – 10×10 Roll-Up Doors (2 on the front end, one on the back end)

• 2 – Walk-In Doors (36×72)

•  8 – 3×8 Skylights

 

 

Our customer decided to add 8 skylights for illumination in addition to the light from the 3 roll-up doors. This garage is also rocking our clay and pewter gray colors!

 

You can place your order NOW! Give us a call and let one of our sales representatives assist you with any questions or concerns you might have. And don’t forget to ask about our financing options!

61′ Long!

Posted on January 8, 2018 by - ASI, Blog, Customer Builds

And we’re back with the new year!

 

We hope everyone had a wonderful time during the holidays. Now it’s time for a fresh start and more new buildings!

 

What if we start this year with a long building? It’s a good idea to have your building ready for the hot summer and the winter beyond. You never know what will happen in the inclement weather. Remember, our buildings are made according to your needs: if 61 feet is too long for you or isn’t allowed by your city, we can always change the length. It’s the same with the other options and features, such as doors, windows, and insulation.

 

Take a look at this building, with dimensions of 24′W × 61′L × 10′H:

 

• A-Frame Vertical Roof

• Horizontal Sides & Ends

• 2 – 10×8 Roll-Up Doors (front end)

• 4 – Windows (on the side)

• 36×80 Walk-In Door (on the side)

• Insulated Roof

• Concrete Anchors

 

 

It has an insulated roof because it’s vertical, four windows for more illumination, and of course two 10 × 8 roll-up doors, so you park your vehicles or store your belongings inside.

 

There are plenty of ways to get your building started. Let one of our sales representatives help you find the right building. And remember, we offer 12 colors you can choose from at no extra cost. Need visual representation? Our team can provide you with a sketch to give you a clear view of your metal building. Want to see our buildings in person? Ask for your local dealer!

Add Value to Your Property with this Workshop!

Posted on November 20, 2017 by - ASI, Blog, Customer Builds

Need a new addition on your property? Want a better and bigger workshop?

 

Have you ever thought about having your own “man cave”? Or perhaps a workshop to work on your vehicles? If your answer to both questions is yes, it’s likely that your main concern about getting a workshop is the price. Metal buildings can range in price depending on the size and number of features added to the unit. Remember that we’re working to meet your expectations. If you’re on a budget, our experts will work with you until we design your perfect building.

 

So, what if you don’t have a concrete slab? Is your building going to be gone with the wind?

 

Our buildings don’t necessarily have to be installed on concrete slabs. Leveled surfaces like asphalt and regular ground are typically flat enough to install metal buildings. Additionally, our company offers mobile home and asphalt anchors to secure your metal building, so if you want to get our 90-mph wind warranty, we can still give it to you as long as your purchase all of the necessary anchors. However, keep in mind that any building that exceeds 30’ in width will be required to have a concrete slab.

 

Take a look at this beautiful metal workshop:

 

• 30’W x 51’L x 12’H

• A-Frame Vertical Roof

• Horizontal Sides & Ends

• 12×12 Roll-Up Door (front end)

• 8×7 Roll-Up Door (front end)

• 2 – Windows (one on each side)

• 36×72 Walk-In Door (on the side)

• Additional Trussing

• Additional Hat Channels

• Mobile Home Anchors

 

 

Disclaimer: Interior designs may vary by state or region. This metal workshop was installed in Colorado. Therefore, it was necessary to add extra trusses in order to meet local codes.

 

We’re here to help if you’re interested in the same style as the building described above, but if you want to change its dimensions, please give us a call. Let one of our experts help you customize the building of your dreams.

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.

14′ Tall Metal Carport

Posted on February 25, 2017 by - ASI, Blog, Carports, Custom, Customer Builds, News/Press, Product Reviews, Steel Structures

Looking for a simple carport for your RV? Does your RV overpass the 12-foot standard height from the flyers?

At American Steel Carports, we ensure that our metal buildings meet all of your expectations and needs. We can accommodate your requirements, especially when it comes to building permits. Keep in mind that we can add as much material as your unit needs in order to make sure it’s fully protected and certified for the requirements of the city. However, it’s important for you to go to your local building department and talk to them in order to verify all of the state codes. Since all of the states have different requirements when it comes to installations, they might need to see plans or specifics.

When our customers look for metal RV covers, they can be concerned when the leg height that they’re looking for isn’t listed on the pricing flyers. But that doesn’t mean that we cannot go taller than 12 feet; in fact, the tallest we can go on a building is 20 feet in height. However, keep in mind that the leg height cannot exceed the width of the unit.

Take this metal carport as an example. It’s 14 feet tall:

  • 30’W x 41’L x 14’H
  • 12-Gauge Galvanized Tubing
  • A-Frame Vertical Roof

All of our metal units are engineer-certified, and with their one-year workmanship warranty, we allow our buildings to go through all four seasons to make sure that they don’t have any leaks or issues.

Give us a call! If wind and/or snow loads are your main concerns, don’t forget to ask our representatives about our wind warranties and how we can certify your unit when it comes to large amounts of snow.
