Garages! Garages! And More Garages!

Posted on March 2, 2018 by - Blog, Product Reviews

Customization is the key to success when it comes to metal buildings. With many ideas and designs to choose from, we let our customer decide and create their own.

 

Whether your surface is gravel, regular ground, or concrete, we advise a level site for a firm, steady building. Our installers may not install your building if it can’t be anchored to the ground—they won’t leave you with an insecure installation.

 

We urge you to consider purchasing our anchors. When you purchase all the anchors needed to secure your building, you get a warranty covering dislocation from wind of up to 90-mph! You don’t have to purchase our anchors and get this warranty, but consider the risks.

 

Whether you choose a metal garage or a simple carport, you should strongly consider our anchors to avoid disastrous situations. With our anchors, your garage will stand strong against extreme weather.

 

Speaking of garages, take a look at this 24’W x 41’L x 9’H:

 

 • A-Frame Horizontal Roof

 • 2 – 10 x 8 Roll-Up Door

 • 36″ x 80″ Walk-In Door

•  Window

 

 

Our A-Frame Horizontal roof gives our metal garages a unique residential style. The roof might look simple, but it’s strong enough to last for many years. Our buildings are designed to exceed your needs and comply with state codes. If you’re not sure what kind of building is ideal for you, don’t hesitate to call us. Our sales reps are happy to assist you with any questions or concerns.

 

Keep up with our blogs to see new buildings we’ve installed every week!

Fully Vertical Metal Garage

Posted on February 16, 2018 by - ACI, Blog, Customer Builds, Questions

Want to have real garage doors?

 

At American Carports, we don’t only offer roll-up doors. We also have overhead doors to give you a residential look and quality. Our garages doors come in a standard design, meaning they don’t have windows or insulation,  but you can upgrade overhead doors with glass windows, and if the unit will be fully insulated, you can insulate the door too! Our overhead doors are also compatible with garage openers.

 

Look at this fully vertical metal garage rocking our overhead doors:

 

• 26’W x 31’L x 11’H

• 12-Gauge Galvanized Tubing

• Fully Vertical

• 2 – 10′ x 10′ Overhead Doors

• 36″ x 80″ Walk-In Door (on the side)

• Concrete Anchors (90-mph wind warranty)

 

*Disclaimer: interior designs may vary by state or region*

 

 

What are the advantages of a fully vertical garage?

 

One of the main advantages is low maintenance. Because the panels run vertically, they’re also more strongly recommended for northern areas, especially places with heavy snowfall.

 

How do I have my building certified for the snow loads in my area?

 

Our buildings are already certified for 30 psf. But if your area has heavy snow loads, we can certify our buildings to withstand those too. On top of that, vertical siding WILL NOT let snow accumulate on the roof or cause it to collapse.

 

We’re almost into summer, and the elevated temperatures will make it a good idea to acquire a metal garage to protect your vehicle from the blazing sun. Keep your car in the shade to prevent the paint from fading and cracking.

 

Give us a call! We can help you picture the metal garage of your dreams! Remember, delivery and installation are FREE on your level land or concrete pad. Want to see more buildings? Go to our blogs for more recently installed metal buildings and valuable information.

Colusa Farm Show

Posted on February 9, 2018 by - ACI, Blog, Customer Builds, Product Reviews

It’s a Friday morning in Colusa, California and the American Carports, Inc. team was off to a great start. We had officially wrapped up a successful Colusa Farm Show exhibition. The week had been nothing short of interesting as people from all over gathered around our booth – we had our hands full to say the least. However, the experience was absolutely worth it. We had the opportunity to network and interact with hardworking agriculturalists who love what they do. These are the type of passionate people we take pride in serving. This is what we are about. By the end of the last day, our giveaway entry box was filled with little white papers ready to be chosen. Everyone, including our team, was anxious to see who the winner of the free metal unit and Yeti cooler would be.

 

By 10:30 a.m. we were ready to go. Onesimo, the shop manager, opened the decorated box, as Daniela, our customer service associate, recited the rules. 10 entries were to be picked, the winner being the tenth one. Daniela swiveled 400 entries before Freddy Sanchez, our sales representative, chose the winner. One by one Daniela read the names until the lucky one was chosen. Onesimo did one last mix (talk about suspense) until finally… Chris Acevedo from Princeton, California was selected!

 

Within two hours our lucky winner stopped by our shop to pick up his free Yeti cooler with beverages included, American Carports gear, and an order form for his free 18x21x7 14 gauge standard carport. We couldn’t be any happier for Chris as he informed us his free metal carport is going to protect his wife’s brand-new car.

 

Chris mentioned, “I didn’t think I was going to win … I just did it … I never win … thank you guys!” This was certainly the perfect timing for him and his family. When asked how he felt about winning for the first time he stated, “I feel good, thank you, I’m happy.”

 

American Carports located in Colusa, California is a dedicated team of individuals who happily serve California, Nevada, and Oregon. Visit our location, give us a call, or stop by at our next event. We’d love to see you soon.

 

 

Thanks to Freddy, Brandon, Chris, Onesimo, Daniela, Zinay and Cruz for recording & taking the pictures.

 

Get Something that can do Both!

Posted on February 8, 2018 by - ACI, Blog, Customer Builds, Product Reviews

We’re already in February, and time is definitely going fast. Next thing you know, we’ll be hitting Spring Break and might not even notice the time passing! So why wait for the summer to get your metal barn, when you can place your order now and have your building ready by then?

 

Agricultural barns are becoming the thing this year, but it might be a surprise to learn that this kind of metal barn can be used for either farm purposes or as a garage/storage area. Aside from the traditional barn use, there are customers who really like the design and prefer to use this barn as a garage. The fact that this metal unit comes in three sections gives them the option to choose if they want to enclose the lean-tos (wings) or even the center unit.

 

This is a perfect example of an ag barn used as a garage:

 

• 24’W x 31’L x 12’H (center unit)
• A-Frame Horizontal
• 2 – Horizontal Gable Ends
• Horizontal Sides (both sides on the center unit)

 

• 12’W x 31’L x 11’/9’H (Lean-tos)
• A-Frame Horizontal Roof
• Horizontal Sides (outer sides)
• Horizontal Ends (all ends on lean-tos)
• 2 – 36″x80″ Walk-In Doors (on the sides of the center unit)
• 2 – 10’x8′ Roll-Up Doors (front of each lean-to)

 

This customer decided not to enclose the center unit, instead parking their vehicles and enclosing the lean-tos to store their belongings. The design might be simple, but it’s strong enough to last for many years.

 

Remember that you can come up with your own metal barn designs; these are just live examples of our customers’ creations that might help you envision your own ideas for the metal building of your dreams.

 

Give us a call and ask to speak with one of our sales representatives to help you get started with your metal barn. With 12 different colors to choose from, you can add your own personal touch. Don’t forget to ask about our financing options. Want to see our buildings in person? Ask for your local dealer.

Get Ready for the Summer!

Workshop time!

 

It’s been a month since the new year began and so far, workshops top the list of the most bought structures this year. With the great quality materials we offer, it’s no wonder that our customers buy our buildings again and again.

 

Our metal steel buildings can be used as workshops, man caves, or even garages! Depending on the features and options you add to your structure, you can customize it to create exactly the building you need.

 

So far wind has been a concern for many states due to the inclement weather adapting itself to the beginning of the spring. Keep in mind that we can certify your metal building in order to withstand those strong winds and harsh weather conditions.

 

Take a look at this 30′W x 51′L x 12′H metal building used as a workshop:

 

• 12-Gauge (20-year limited warranty on rust through of framing)

• One-year Workmanship Warranty

• A-Frame Vertical Roof

• 2 – 10 x 10 Roll-Up Doors  (on the side)

• 2 – Windows

• 90-Mph Wind Warranty (Concrete Anchors)

 

With our A-Frame Vertical roof, it gives the workshop a very unique, residential style, so that it will blend perfectly with the surrounding buildings.

 

Remember, delivery and installation is included as long as your land is level. Our one-year workmanship warranty ensures the durability and strength of our steel buildings, no matter the season or weather conditions.

 

Order your metal building today! Contact one of our representatives. Everything can start with just one phone call.

Metal Utility Building

Posted on January 25, 2018 by - Blog, News/Press

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.

Partially Enclosed Carport

Posted on January 16, 2018 by - Carports, Standard

Exposing our belongings to harsh weather decreases their durability—and even if we live in areas where the weather is calm, the sun can be damaging as well. When it comes to vehicles, it’s important to remember that they need to remain in the shade; the sun itself can dry and crack your dash, not to mention the fact that direct exposure can double the temperatures inside and crack leather seats. That’s when Carport Kingdom comes to the rescue. With our affordable metal buildings, we can provide you with a strong and effective metal shed for parking your vehicles or storing your belongings.

We offer a variety of buildings to choose from, but if all you need is a metal carport for your vehicle, then we can definitely help you. Our metal buildings come in various sizes, and knowing exactly what you want is key when purchasing a structure.

ALL of our metal buildings start with a standard or regular roof. The standard roof is a common choice, as its simple design is familiar and looks good with most properties. It’s also our most affordable option; take a look at this 30’W x 36’L x 12’H structure as an example:

[layerslider id=”17″]
This metal building is wide enough to be used in numerous ways. Also, remember that the colors can always be changed. This customer decided to go all green.
