Installation Process:

 

You have placed your order and are anxiously anticipating the scheduling of your steel carport or garage. Here are a few things that you should know to ensure that your scheduled delivery goes quickly and smoothly.

 

American Steel Carports receives orders daily; all new orders go through an intake process, which can take between 24-72 hours. Once accepted, you will be contacted for scheduling. The scheduling process can take between 2-4 weeks. Older orders receive priority; however, the estimation of the time associated with your scheduling will depend on the carport size, the local weather, and the amount of orders surrounding you. There are a few things that we recommend that our customers do while they wait for the scheduling of their new metal building.

 

Every county is different; we recommend that all customers check with their local code enforcement to ensure that their building order meets their area’s requirements and obtain permits if necessary. Remember, alterations to your order should be made prior to scheduling. American Steel Carports has trained sales reps and engineers to help answer your questions and to make any accommodations that you may need.

 

Whether you plan to have your metal garage or carport installed on ground, cement, gravel, or asphalt, a few things should be done prior to scheduling. It is of extreme importance that your area be level and clear of any debris. It is also important that you notify American Steel Carports should you plan to have your steel building installed over an item such as an RV, boat, or any other object. Additionally, any steel carport or garage that is installed on anything other than a surface at ground level needs to be mentioned upon ordering or prior to scheduling.

 

American Steel Carports asks our customers to help ensure our installers’ safety. Nobody knows your property as well as you do. However, by contacting “call before you dig 811” at least a few days prior to delivery and installation, you can schedule an appointment to have your underground pipes and electrical wires marked. This ensures the safety of our workers as well as of your property.

 

You have your area ready, and you just received the call from American Steel Carports notifying you that your order is ready and on the way! Your building material will arrive on site with the contractors who will be installing it. Our scheduling is given in windows based on the weather and the distance between each customer. American Steel Carports values you time and makes it a top priority to arrive within the original time frame given. Be that as it may, there are times when scheduling can be delayed or, in some cases, ahead of schedule. Due to the nature of this profession, flat tires, installation issues, and weather can contribute to delays in scheduling. Our friendly staff will contact you if changes to your scheduling should arise, and you are welcome to contact us as needed during your scheduled delivery.

 

Delivery and installation should be a hassle-free process. Allow American Steel Carports to treat you like royalty and offer you peace of mind in knowing that we will be there for you every step of the way.

Live in the North? You’d better watch out for the Snow!

Posted on March 7, 2018 by - ASI, Blog, Customer Builds, Promotions

Vertical siding buildings are the most recommended when it comes to states that get a lot of snow. The vertical roof allows natural elements like snow, water, dirt, leaves, and dust to slide off easily without the need for constant maintenance, unlike other roof styles. And if the vertical roof can give you all that, imagine having vertical sides! It would definitely make your metal garage maintenance-free!

 

Another cool feature that we offer is our overhead doors. These doors create more of a residential look, and they can actually be connected to a garage opener. Please keep in mind that American Steel Carports does not offer that type of service: we would only provide the installation of your metal building and the overhead door.

 

This 18’W x 26’L x 10’H metal garage is a perfect example of a fully vertical (a.k.a., maintenance-free) building:

 

• 16’x7′ Overhead door

• 4 – 30″x30″ Windows (2 on the side)

• 36″x80″ Walk-In Door (on the side)

 

 

There are many ways to customize your metal garage! Before making a purchase, though, it’s recommended that all of our customers talk with their local building departments to get the necessary permits. Remember that not all states and counties are the same: some might require additional plans or calculations, while others would take the generic plans. Also, know that our generic plans come free when you place your order with us.

 

Give us a call and let one of our experts help you build that garage of your dreams! Does your area have a higher snow load? Let our experts know, and we’ll work with your requirements until we meet them. Want to see our buildings in person? Call us and ask for your local dealer! And don’t forget to ask about our financing options.

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!

Mini Storage Installed in New Mexico

Posted on December 12, 2017 by - ASI, Blog, Customer Builds

It’s mini storage time!

 

In need of a metal storage building? Are you worried about the size? American Steel Carports is here for you to build that storage building according to your needs.

 

If the size of a storage building is one of your concerns, then it’s more likely that a mini-storage will work for you. Our mini storages tend to be more affordable than a regular enclosed building, with the same freedom of adding certain features; not to mention that all our mini storages come with a ¾” pressure treated wood floor.

 

Take this 12’W x 16’L x 7’H mini storage in 12-G installed in Tijeras, New Mexico as an example:

 

 

Most of our mini storages come with a 6’x6′ roll-up door or a walk-in door depending on the size of the mini-storage. This particular one does have a 6’x6′ roll-up door, it also has a vertical roof, and mobile home anchors.

 

Whether you’re wanting something a little shorter or less wide, our experts will help you build the perfect mini-storage for you.

 

Want to see more of our designs? Click here for more information or give us a call to speak with one of our representatives. Remember, we DO NOT provide any concrete work and the surface must be level in order to install your metal building.

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.

Custom Utility Building

Posted on September 18, 2017 by - ASI, Blog, Customer Builds

 

Utility buildings offer the advantages of a carport and a storage area at the same time. If you’re planning to customize your unit, you can even turn the utility building into a garage for additional space, especially if you have more than one vehicle. Remember that we will work with you according to your needs and whatever design you like the most.

 

Take this 18’(W) x 36’(L) x 10’(H) unit, for example:

 

• 14-gauge
• A-frame Vertical Roof
• Front Gable
• 2 – 15′ Headers
• 15′ Carport
• 20′ Enclosure (Sides & Ends)
• 2 – 8′ x 8′ Roll-Up Doors (front end)
• 6′ x 6′ Roll-Up Door (on the side)
• 36″ x 72″ Walk-In Door (on the side)
• Installed on Concrete

 

 

This metal building has a 20’ enclosure (20’ of garage), and the rest of the space (15’) is just the carport. Clearly, the enclosure will be used as a garage because of those roll-up doors. It can even be used to store machinery or equipment, if the owner wants a workshop.

 

We offer 12 different colors to choose from at no additional cost. Remember, we can install on any ground, as long as it is leveled. If you prefer to have your building installed on concrete, however, we can do that as well. Don’t forget to ask about our 90-mph wind warranty.

 

Give us a call! If you ask to speak with a sales representative, our experts will help you customize your building according to your needs. We can also provide you with a free sketch so that you can visualize your metal building better.
