So Many Different Options for you to Customize your Metal Building

Posted on May 31, 2018 by - Blog, News/Press, Promotions, Questions

Whether you’re looking for a simple carport/garage, a warehouse, or a completely custom metal building, American Carports will make the metal structure of your dreams come true! With more than 20 years of service in the carport industry, we know exactly how to give our customers a pleasant experience.

 

Any side of your carport can be customized. Whether you want some extra space between the legs, or to make it taller than 12’, or an additional lean-to, we cover it all!

 

 

Headers:

 

One of the most common customizations is our headers. Headers can increase the spacing in between the legs and function as actual openings. Some of our customers who opt to enclose their metal buildings prefer to have openings instead of actual garage doors.

 

 

 

13’ or taller:

 

Our standard, triple wide, and widespan flyers normally only go up to 12’ tall, but that doesn’t mean we’ll limit ourselves. In fact, the tallest we can go is 20’. We might not build skyscrapers, but we can make your structure tall enough for all your machinery equipment that you want to protect.

 

 

 

Lean-Tos or Connections:

 

When people hear the word “lean-to,” they automatically picture an agricultural barn with lean-tos on each side, which are also called wings. Lean-tos can be added to most of our buildings as additional storage space or as carports for parking your vehicles.

 

 

 

What about if you have two buildings and you just want to connect them? American Carports can connect your buildings as well! Here are a few examples of connected buildings:

 

 

 

Different Pitches:

 

Yes, we offer different angles or pitches for our metal buildings! All of our buildings come with a 3/12 roof pitch, but we can go as low as 2/12 or as high as 8/12 (depending on the unit).

 

If you are considering making any of these customizations, don’t be afraid to let us know. We will work with you until we can make the building you’re looking for. Aside from that, don’t forget that American Carports makes sure that your building is certified by the best engineers. And don’t forget to ask for 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.

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.

 

Utility Carport

Posted on August 21, 2017 by - ACI, Blog

Have you heard of our utility buildings? Many of our customers opt to have a utility unit instead of a regular garage. These units don’t only offer protection for your vehicle; they can also work as a storage room. The storage spacing varies depending on our customers’ needs. Some of our customers expand the storage room to use it as an extended garage or even as their own shop. Regardless of how you plan to use the storage room, we want to meet your expectations and needs.

 

We know our buildings can be a high investment, but we want to give you the most durable material, and most importantly, a product that is engineer-certified.

 

Take this 18x31x7 Utility Carport as an example:

 

• 18’W x 31’L x 7’H

• A-Frame Vertical Roof

• 10′ Storage Room

• 8 x 6 Roll-Up Door

• 36″ x 72″ Walk-In Door (on the side)

 

 

Because the building has an A-frame vertical roof (with panels running from the roof peak toward the eaves), it allows snow, dirt, water, and leaves to run off easily, so you won’t have to worry about maintenance for a long time.

 

The unit has a 20-ft. carport and a 10-ft. storage room. Remember, the spacing and design can adapt to your unique needs.

Versatile. Strong, Built to Last.
