Metal Garage + Lean To

/in , , , , , , , /by

What is a Lean-to?

Were you looking for a building that can not only meet your carport needs but also can be used as a garage. This sort of structure has it’s own genuine name because of the fact that it is one of our clients top choices. The name of this type of building is a Lean-to building. A Lean-to can be described as a structure that slopes off to one direction. It has a fully enclosed part from the building and an open area. It provides you with the best of both worlds between a carport and a garage. Another more affordable choice is a utility, but their is a difference between these two. The difference between a Lean-to and a utility is how they are priced. The utility carport is priced as one building while a Lean-to building is charged as two separate units. They are very identical but the preference is yours!

As much as these buildings  seem to be customized, you can always add walls to enclose some of the other sides, change the color, make it taller, and change many more features to make it the building YOU want. Not only are they built your way but they are also built to fit your needs. These buildings can serve numerous of your purposes, starting from just protecting your car as to making it a party room or even a local for your business.

The size of this building can definitely accommodate to almost anything you can think of, and the open space is open for any possibility. To top it off ! Keep in mind that all our buildings are engineer-certified and guaranteed to stand strong against according to your specified weather.

 

This example of a Lean-to building has the following specs:

20’W x 31’L x 10’H

12 gauge

A frame vertical roof.

2 ends.

2 sides.

Connection fee.

Don’t Wait to Get That Building You Admire!

/in , , , , , , , , /by

There’s no doubt that when something catches your attention, and it’s pleasing to the eye, you’ll begin to think about it a lot and want to get it for yourself. Some easy examples are a brand-new car or truck, brand-new clothes or even a brand-new toy. Well, the same thing can happen with a metal structure. If you’re looking to protect your brand-new vehicle or toys, you’ll want to find a structure that is well-built and reliable, so that your belongings will be well-protected, but you’ll also want something that looks great on your property.

With a metal structure, the looks are more aesthetic than practical, but aesthetics are important too, and we understand that. At American Carports, we like to let our customers be creative with their color choices by giving them the freedom to choose from our 13 different color options at no additional price. Of course, we will certify that your metal structure is strong enough to last for many years.

With that being said, let us tease you with this 30’W x 36’Lx 12’H Side Entry Garage:

  • 12-Gauge Galvanized Tubing
  • A-Frame Vertical Roof
  • (3) 10’x10′ Roll-Up Doors
  • 36″x80″ Walk-In Door

What is it that people love about side entries? The main advantage of garage doors being installed on the side is that you can save yourself some money since it’s cheaper to grow in length instead of width.

Is snow or wind a concern for your area? Don’t worry! Our experts are here to make sure your unit is certified for your area. Call us now, and don’t forget to ask about our financing options available. Want to see our buildings in person? Ask for your local dealer!

Short Blog: Some Easy Maintenance Ideas

/in , , , , , , /by

We are all aware of the superiority of steel over wood structures, and this includes ease of maintenance. However, there are still some easy and quick things you can do to keep your steel structure in the best shape.

  • The first thing we recommend is to keep a maintenance log to stay on top of all the maintenance you’ve done and when.
  • The easiest place to start is with a basic wash, especially when the weather conditions change. Whether its leaves being blown around or dirt from nearby country roads, a quick power wash will return your American Carports’ structure to like-new.
  • Overhead doors also need attention, so remember to wash them too. Using a light degreaser can help cut through any dirt that has accumulated.
  • Dusting the roof with a soft bristle broom to remove debris is recommended. Please be sure to take every safety precaution to not put anyone in danger while doing so.
  • Periodically check that all screws are tightened and have not come loose. Using a lubricant product on all moving parts, doors and windows are highly recommended to maintain the like-new look and function.

We hope these tips are helpful and will assist you in enjoying your American Carports metal building for years to come.
