Carport Usage

Posted on April 3, 2019 by - ACI, Carports

We all want assurance when investing in something big. With American carports, you won’t have to worry about that. When you invest in American steel carports with your buildings, we provide you with durability and protection, all at a great price.

Making a decision

Durability is dependably a worry when buying another structure, particularly when you’re investing in it. Our buildings are reliant, dependent, and durable. Here at American Carports, we provide you with a engineer-proven galvanized steel tubing. When your buying another structure, we have two alternatives of material. We have the 12-gauge and 14-gauge tubing. The 14-gauge is the more reasonable material for areas that don’t have substantial snow or exceptionally high breezes. It is our standard material that includes a 1-year workmanship warranty. The 12-gauge tubing is our more sturdy and thicker material for more severe weather conditions. The 12-gauge material may be increasingly costly, yet we need to ensure that the structure you’re buying can stand for a more extended time. It also comes with a 20-year rust warranty. The 12 gauge gives you the highest quality coverage at a great price!

This is a 30’W x 41’L x 12’H 14-gauge unit with a standard roof, two horizontal sides and one horizontal end. It’s a standard building purchased for the essential necessities. All of our carports are provided with the needed material to cover protection from the sun, rain, and hail. You can easily upgrade the building by maybe enclosing the other end, adding roll-up doors, windows, doors, changing the roof style, colors and many more options.

Standard vs. Triple Wide vs. Wide Span

Posted on December 18, 2018 by - ACI, Blog, Informative, Steel Structures

A metal building will always be a metal building, no matter what – aside from all of the customization we offer, such as enclosing your carport.

A metal carport is the main foundation of your metal garage. If you really think about it, the base and the roof are what make it a metal carport, so all we are doing is enclosing your carport and adding the openings or frame outs for the roll-up door that you want. The same goes for our agricultural buildings. The center unit is a metal carport, which is just adjacent to the lean-tos (also called wings); from then on, we just enclose the sides or ends according to your special needs. Interesting, isn’t it? However, the size of the structure is what will categorize your metal building or metal carport as a standard, triple wide, or wide span unit.

Standard Units

The confusion starts when the word “standard” comes in to play. On one of our metal buildings, this mostly refers to a particular roof style. It’s called standard because this roof option is included in the base price, unlike our other roof styles, which come with an additional price. However, in the carport industry vocabulary, “standard” is also a categorization of all metal units ranging from 12’ to 24’ in width. You might be thinking, aren’t your units categorized as carports or garages? Yes, technically – but that’s after the product is completed, and those subcategories are mainly just options. Another point to add is that there is no such thing as a limitation when it comes to length for standard units. Even a 12’ wide building can be 100’ long! But when it comes to height, there are a few restrictions that will apply. For example, the leg height of your metal building cannot exceed the width (e.g., 12’W x 31’L x 14’H). Why? Because your building will NOT be stable.

Triple Wide Units

This type of metal building ranges from 26’ to 30’ in width. These are big buildings that are typically used casually for workshops. Because of the size, is recommended to opt for our 12-gauge galvanized tubing (a.k.a. heavy duty). Aside from their size, these metal units still follow the same procedure and customization options regarding roof style, vertical sides or ends, roll-up doors, openings, and being installed on the ground or a concrete slab. As mention earlier, triple wide units don’t have a limit when it comes to length, and since the width starts at 26’, there are no restrictions when it comes to leg height taller than 12’. This type of building might be the one for you if you’re looking for something big, but also affordable without limitations. However, when it comes to even bigger units, things do change – which brings us to our last topic.

Wide Span Units

Now we’re talking about some big, big units. This type of huge metal unit ranges from 32’ to 80’ in width! Yes, we’re talking warehouse size! Let’s leave the size comparison to the side for a moment, shall we? The first thing you will notice about these big metal units is the siding. ALL of our wide span units run fully vertical, which means that they don’t allow a standard roof or horizontal siding. Another big change that you will notice is that our wide span units MUST be installed on concrete pads, concrete footings, or concrete piers. This is due to the size and weight of the unit. If this kind of metal unit is installed on the ground, due to the weight on all of its components, it will sink and won’t be sturdy. If you want to read a complete description of wide span units for more information, click here.

 

Now you know the difference between our categories of metal buildings. We hope this has enlightened you. If this definitely changed your mind and helped you figure out exactly what you want for your property, feel free to contact us today and let one of our sales representatives assist you with any questions or concerns!

It’s Never Too Late to Get the Protection You Need

Posted on November 19, 2018 by - A-Frame Vertical, ACI, Agricultural, Barn, Blog, Buildings, Customer Builds, Steel Structures

The year is practically over – just one more month, and we’ll be transitioning into 2019. How crazy does that sound? Overall, we felt like this year went by really fast. And because it’s almost the end of the year, there might be some cut-off dates, depending on where you live. But don’t worry, this can also mean more time for you to get your site ready for installation.

Although most of the units we install go on concrete, that doesn’t mean that your unit cannot go on the regular ground. But we also want to be clear that all units overpassing 30’ in width (wide spans) must go on a concrete slab.

Please review our cut-off dates by clicking here.

If you have to wait until spring, this gives you plenty of time to get started on your plans for your future metal building. This could also mean that you can save even more money and get everything prepared by the time we come to install your unit. If you think about it, once you have your metal unit installed, you won’t have to worry about it anymore. Let us tease you by showing an agricultural building (an ag barn) that’s 48’W x 31’L x 12/7’H:

  • 24’W x 31’L x 12’H (Main Unit)
  • A-Frame Vertical Roof
  • 14-Guage Galvanized Tubing
  • 2 – Extended Gables
  • 2 – 12’W x 31’L x 9’/7’H Lean-Tos
  • Vertical Roof
  • 10’x7′ Frame Out (Opening)
  • Gable End

What would you use this ag barn for? Let us know and give us call at (866) 471-8761 to speak with one of our sales representatives and ask for pricing! Remember that all of our metal units are custom made to meet your needs and expectations. Don’t like the color choice? You can always pick and choose to make your metal building stand out from the rest with 13 different colors to choose from at no additional price.

How Would This Barn Look in your Property?

Posted on October 29, 2018 by - A-Frame Vertical, ACI, Agricultural, Blog, Steel Structures

Our metal ag barns offer the protection you need for your livestock, farm equipment, and/or any other belongings that you want to store inside. Aside from the protection we offer, we give you the freedom to customize your metal barn as much as you want it. Here is a perfect example of what our metal barns look, and with the right features added, you can customize it the way you want it to satisfy your needs:

This Ag Barn has 3 sections connected together with any custom size you desire. On this one, a 24’W x 31’L x 12’H A-Frame Vertical (middle unit) comes with 2 (two) horizontal ends, 1 (one) 12’x12′ Roll-Up Door, 1 (one) 36×80 service door, and 2 (two) skylights. Along with two lean-to’s connected on both sides are 12’W x 31’L x 10’/8’H A-frame Vertical units. With 10’ high on the inside coming down to 8’ on the outside, gives you plenty of space to use these two storage sections for your car or even a garden shed to store all your landscaping equipment. With both outside walls closed giving you a fully enclosed secured building. 2 (two) 9×7 Roll-Up Garage Doors, a total of 5 (five) 30×30 windows, and 2 (two) vents.

Am I limited on where I want windows, openings or service doors placed?

Absolutely not! Get creative and place them wherever you feel most comfortable. We are here to let you choose how you want your building and making sure you are fully satisfied. You will not be limited to however many things you want to add to your building. Please be aware that American Carports does not offer vents, customer provided the vents for installers to place them.

Can I get insulated garage doors or insulated building?

With many garage door sizes to choose from, get our Overhead Garage Door (roll-up doors are not insulated). As well as getting your building either fully insulated or just the roof insulated! Trying to keep the inside at a controlled temperature or condensation off the roof? Ask to get just the roof insulated and we will do the work!

I’m interested, what’s my next step?

With many options to choose from, create the metal building you been dreaming for! If it’s to store your investments on the farm like this Ag Barn building or to having a man’s cave on one side and protecting your toys on the other while having some space in the middle to be used for your shop.

Cut off Times

Posted on October 23, 2018 by - ACI, Blog, Informative, Lifestyle, News, Steel Structures

We are entering that time of the year again when the weather starts dropping, the snow starts coming and we make our cut off dates.

What are cut off dates?

They are the time frame where we will be halting delivery on units in certain regions.

Why cut off dates?

Because although we would love to take care of customers 365 days a year, it’s highly unlikely due to the weather variables that are far beyond our control.

When do we start delivering again?

We will start up in full steam in the spring delivering and installing new units.

What states have been cut off for 2018?

October 31 – Oregon, Nevada, Upper Northeast California.

 

We can’t wait to get started installing your buildings in the spring. Take care, everyone!
