Endless Ways to Customize Your Metal Building

Posted on January 22, 2019 by - ACI, Blog, Informative, Lifestyle, Steel Structures

Whether you’re looking for a simple carport/garage, a warehouse, or a completely custom metal building, American Carports will make the metal structure of your dreams come true! With more than 20 years of service in the carport industry, we know exactly how to give our customers a pleasant experience.

Any side of your carport can be customized. Whether you want some extra space between the legs, to make it taller than 12’, or an additional lean-to, we cover it all!

Headers:

One of the most common customizations is our headers. Headers can increase the spacing in between the legs and function as actual openings. Some of our customers who opt to enclose their metal buildings prefer to have openings instead of actual garage doors.

13’ or taller:

Our standard, triple wide, and widespan flyers normally only go up to 12’ tall, but that doesn’t mean we’ll limit ourselves. In fact, the tallest we can go is 20’. We might not build skyscrapers, but we can make your structure tall enough to hold your trailers or any toys you want to protect.

Lean-Tos or Connections:

When people hear the word “lean-to,” they automatically picture an agricultural barn with lean-tos on each side, which are also called wings. Lean-tos can be added to most of our buildings as additional storage space or as carports for parking your vehicles.

What about if you have two buildings and you just want to connect them? American  Carports can connect your buildings as well!

Different Pitches:

Yes, we offer different angles or pitches for our metal buildings! All of our buildings come with a 3/12 roof pitch, but we can go as low as 2/12 or as high as 8/12 (depending on the unit).

 

If you are considering making any of these customizations, don’t be afraid to let us know. We will work with you until we can make the building you’re looking for. Aside from that, don’t forget that American Carports makes sure that your building is certified by the best engineers. And don’t forget to ask for our financing options!

FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE

 

COLUSA, CA.- American Carports, purveyors of engineered certified carports and metal buildings, is pleased to announce that we are donating a portion of proceeds to the Shasta Regional Community Foundation. This means a lot to us, so the disaster the wildfires have caused is truly heartbreaking. The Shasta Regional Community Foundation will use this money to help where people need it the most, we are pleased to work with an organization such as this one and look forward to working together in the future.

In closing, we would like to send our heartfelt wishes to everyone affected by the wildfires.

The Carr Fire was a large wildfire that burned in Shasta and Trinity Counties in California, United States. The fire burned 229,651 acres before it was 100% contained late on August 30, 2018. The Carr Fire destroyed at least 1,077 homes while damaging 277 others and becoming seventh-largest wildfire recorded in modern California history. The Carr Fire cost over $1.659 billion in damages, including $1.5 billion in insured losses and more than $158.7 million in suppression costs. At its height, the fire engaged as many as 4,766 personnel from multiple agencies. The fire was reported on the afternoon of July 23, 2018, at the intersection of Highway 299 and Carr Powerhouse Road, in the Whiskeytown district of the Whiskeytown–Shasta–Trinity National Recreation Area. The fire was started when a flat tire on a vehicle caused the wheel’s rim to scrape against the asphalt, creating sparks that set off the fire. Eight people died in the fire, including three firefighters.

30’ x 41’ x 10’ Triple Wide Steel Building

Posted on January 9, 2019 by - A-Frame Vertical, ACI, Blog, Buildings, Custom, Customer Builds, Steel Structures

Now is the perfect time to start looking for that steel building you’ve been wanting! Start the year off with a clean look on your land for an affordable price. A metal building is the best solution if you’re planning on keeping your belongings indoors. We always recommend opting for a vertical roof, which allows snow, water, leaves, and other debris to slide off easily instead of piling on. However, if you’re located in an area where you don’t have to worry about this kind of debris, then you can opt for a standard or horizontal roof.

American Carports provides you with the best quality in materials, offering you a one-year workmanship warranty. If you decide to upgrade to a 12-gauge, we will also include a 20-year warranty on rust through of the framing.

Below you’ll find this 30’W x 41’L x 10’H triple wide metal building:

  • 12-Guage Galvanized Tubing
  • A-Frame Vertical Roof
  • 20′ x 8′ Frame Out (no door)

The first thing you’ll notice is the huge opening measuring 20’ x 8’ (no door). Customers can place their own garage doors as desired.

Please note that placing a different garage door, not provided from American Carports, will void any warranties that the structure may have.

You can customize the size and style of any of our metal buildings on our website. Give us a call today to speak with one of our experts to help you envision and build the metal building of your dreams. We also offer Rent-to-Own in ALL our service areas! Call us now for more information, and don’t forget to ask for your local dealer.
