Add Value to Your Property

Posted on April 10, 2018 by - ACI, Blog, Customer Builds

This year feels like it’s going pretty fast, but you still have enough time to place your order and be ready for the summer and winter!

 

We specialize in metal buildings. Whether you want a mini-storage, metal barn, simple carport, or more complex building or warehouse, American Carports will be there to make sure that your unit gets installed correctly. Our sales representatives will work with you to ensure that you get exactly what you’re looking for. We can even provide a free sketch for visual purposes!

 

Take this 30’W x 51’L x 10’H metal workshop as an example of what we’re capable of:

 

• A-Frame Vertical Roof

• Four (4) – 10’x8′ Roll-Up Doors (on the side)

• Two (2) – 30″x30″ Windows (one on each end)

• 6’x7′ Roll-Up Door (front end)

• 36″x80″ Walk-In Door (back end)

 

 

NOTE: Adding roll-up doors on the side of the building can save you some money, since it’s cheaper to grow in length than in width. When the metal building overpasses 30’ in length, we strongly recommend opting for a vertical roof; this will help you avoid any leaks in the future.

 

You can always share your ideas and thoughts and customize your own building, and we will do our best to make it happen. Remember, the dimensions and additional features (such as garage doors, windows, etc.) can always be changed.

 

Give us a call! And don’t forget to ask about our financing options. Ask for your local dealer if you want to get a closer look at our available metal buildings.

Shed In The Woods

Posted on March 27, 2018 by - Blog

This metal garage gives you all the protection you need, from the sun to the rain. This amazing 30’ wide unit by 41’ long and 12’ high garage has plenty of space for all your needs. With our most popular and recommended A Frame Vertical Roof, horizontal siding but going vertical is always something you could choose. With the option of having your garage doors installed on the side of the building, we simply install headers. On this unit, 2 (two) 10×10 roll up doors are placed on the side. 1 (one) 9×7 roll up door on the end, 1 (one) 36×80 walk-in door, and 1 (one) 30×30 window. Also, concrete anchors are installed giving you our 90 MPH wind warranty with L-brackets!

 

 

What are headers and when are they necessary?

Headers are only used and required when doors are installed on the side of the unit. If you want garage doors placed on the length side of the unit instead of the gable end, we install headers for you. Headers are also used when you want an open building all around without any post getting in your way or when its being installed against something and need space openings, headers are there to save you.

 

 

 

What are L-brackets and why are they used?

The last thing you want is spending a good amount of money pouring your foundation and having the anchors break the edge of the concrete. L-Brackets are attached to the rail of the building giving us space to anchor down your unit without breaking any of the concrete!

 

 

 

Why is the vertical roof most popular and most recommended?

Going vertical on the roof gives you many advantages. From simply giving your building a more original look, vertical roofing will give you a better snow load capacity. The vertical roof allows natural elements like snow, water, dirt, leaves, and dust to slide off easily without the need for constant maintenance.

 

 

 

What are my options for colors and can choose more than one?

With plenty of color options (Black, Evergreen, Quaker Gray, Clay, Barn Red, Slate Blue, Pebble Beige, Earth Brown, Burgundy, Pewter Gray, Rawhide, White), you can go one color on the roof and another on the siding. We also offer a popular option called “Wainscoating”. Wainscoating will give you the last 3’ of your building a different color all around!

 

 

 

With plenty of more options to go with and styles to choose from, feel free to create your own building on this website and getting a better look of your future investment. We are here to build it, versatile, strong, built to last!

Is There a Limit on the Length of a Metal Building?

Posted on March 27, 2018 by - Blog

The answer is NO! At American Carports, we do not put limitations on the length of our metal buildings. If you ever need a building longer than our flyers advertise, don’t let that discourage you from making a purchase. You’d be surprised how many people call us asking if they can go longer than 51’—and our answer is always yes!

 

Although the most common request on our buildings is 60’ long, there have been cases where customers have big projects in mind that can be as long as a 100’! And since we’re talking about long metal buildings, why don’t you take a look at this 24’W x 61’L x 10’H custom metal building:

 

 

This custom metal building has an insulated roof (which is totally optional), two (2) 10’ x 8’ roll-up doors, four (4) windows on the side of the building, and a walk-in door.

 

Remember that we can customize any metal building according to your needs and requirements. We can also add insulation to your unit—but remember that the panels must run vertically in order for us to do so.

 

Need something larger? We’re always here to help create that metal building of your dreams! Our sales experts will stand by you for the entire process until we get exactly what you’re looking for. We can also provide a free sketch to figure out the details and visualize your metal building together! Call us now, and don’t forget to ask about our financing options.

Don’t Forget Your Second Home!

Posted on March 9, 2018 by - Blog

Why pay to store your RV when you can get your own RV cover?

 

RVs requires attention and care if you want to take exciting family vacations in them. They don’t only provide shelter, they also provide comfort. That’s why it’s important to protect your RV from the environment, especially from the burning heat.

 

Many people pay to store their RVs in the summer to keep them in the shade. That’s a pretty good way to protect your RV, but wouldn’t it be simpler to have your own RV cover at your own house? That’s where American Carports can save the day!

 

Our experts can help you customize a metal cover to protect your RV from inclement weather. Although our pricing flyers only 12-foot high covers, that doesn’t mean we can’t go taller. We know that some RVs need more than 12 feet of clearance, and our experts can help you price and design one for your own RV.

 

Take this 20’W × 46’L × 12’H as an example:

 

 

This metal RV cover has 3-foot sides and a standard roof. But if you live in an area where snow is a concern, a vertical roof will be your best choice.

 

If you’re not sure what type or style of roof you need, just give us a call! One of our sales representatives will take care of you by providing a free quote and a sketch if you need one. Make sure to check with your local building department to certify your metal RV cover according to your local codes.
