Buying a carport can be as easy as counting one, two, three, or like we would say here at American Carports, single, double, or triple. Deciding on the best option that will fit your needs can sometimes be difficult, with American Steel Carports you shouldn’t have to struggle, we have professionals that can assist you through the whole process, from start to finish. Picking the right carport is perhaps the most important decision you will make in the entire buying process.

The first thing you need to decide when buying a metal carport is how the carport will be used. Consider how much space you’ll need to properly protect your belongings from all the different weather conditions the world can throw your way. It’s always better to have extra space rather than not enough. Also, it’s good to be sure to think about the future, maybe you plan to acquire additional vehicles that may need some extra storage.

Single Carports – Single carports range from 12 feet wide and are ideal for most single vehicles. A factor you might want to put in mind is height, our standard height is 6 feet which might be just enough for some cars. However, if you’re planning to use a single carport to store a larger vehicle like an SUV, trailer, RV, or even a motorhome, you may want to go up a size as it may be difficult to maneuver a large vehicle into a tight space.

Double Carports – Double carports range anywhere from 18 to 24 feet wide. Of course, a two-car carport is for storing two cars or a larger recreational vehicle or boat. As many vehicles might differ in size, it’s always best to make sure you measure the vehicle to be sure when getting your carport. After all it’s going to be way cheaper getting it right the first time.

Triple Carports – Triple carports generally range from 26 to 30 feet wide and provide just enough space for storing up to three vehicles. When you work with American Steel Carports, you can certainly opt for structures even bigger than that if you’d like more space!

It might seem complicated or even stressful, but here at American Steel we’ve made it easy for all our customers. You can use our online Build & Price Tool, you will be able to adjust the dimensions of your desired building, select your preferred add-ons, view a 3-D rendering of your creation, and get an instant quote right there and then.

RV Carport Benefits

November 13, 2018/in A-Frame Horizontal, A-Frame Vertical, Buildings, Carports, Custom, RV Carports, Spotlight, Standard, Steel Structures /by clickgiant

Summer has come to an end, and now we have put away our tubes, camping gear, and fishing equipment until next season. There’s just one thing left to cover: the most expensive toy you own, your RV. We at American Steel can provide the most affordable and durable solution for you, and I figured I would tell you a few of the benefits to using an American Steel RV cover.

1. Efficiency. American Steel carports and garages are engineered, certified structures that are delivered and installed on your building site. Steel buildings require about 2/3 the time of conventional construction.

2. Affordability. Because we own our manufacturing facilities, we can offer you fantastic value for your money. The construction costs for a steel building vs. conventional construction can be reduced by 60%.

3. The ability to go up to 18 feet high. Steel is lightweight but also one of the one of the strongest building materials available, with a very high strength-to-weight ratio. Steel garages are even lighter than wood!

4. Ease of maintenance. Steel buildings are a great option for any geographic area, with the ability to resist rain, snow, and high winds. Want to clean your building? Just spray it with soap, then with water from the hose or pressure washer.

5. Reduced fire danger. Because steel is non-combustible, your insurance costs can drop as much as 40% if your belongings are in a steel garage instead of a highly flammable wood structure.

6. Stronger than a hurricane. Steel buildings can withstand high winds and heavy snow and stay upright through earthquakes. Some of the world’s tallest buildings are made of steel because of its ability to meet strict wind and seismic requirements. The difference between steel and concrete is that concrete can shift and crack. Scientists also say that concrete can crumble under very strong wind. Steel, however, will bend slightly and move with the storm. Metal buildings are the only structures that usually survive intact through hurricanes.
