Storage Building in AZ

November 29, 2017/in Questions /by clickgiant

Are you looking for simple storage room, but still want quality?

We offer great quality on even the simplest buildings when it comes to all four seasons. We’re so sure about the strength of our metal buildings that we offer a one-year workmanship warranty on each one. We want to give you quality for what you pay, and we want to make sure that you’re happy with your purchase.

With over 15 years of experience in the carport industry, we know exactly how to build that building of your dreams. Whether it’s a custom design or a simple garage, our highly skilled installers will work non-stop until your metal building is fully erected and ready to be used.

Many of our customers opt for a traditional storage room for their belongings. As you know, it’s not necessary to build a custom unit to keep your belongings safe. However, if you live in an area where snow or wind is an important factor to consider, then additional material will be needed to meet your local codes.

Is it necessary to have a concrete pad for my building?

No. Concrete pads are optional for metal buildings under 30’ in width. Take this 20’W x 21’L x 9’H metal garage as an example:

• Horizontal Sides & Ends

• 10’x8′ Roll-Up Door (front end)

• 36″x80″ Walk-In Door (on the side)

• 2 – Windows (back end, right side)

This metal storage room has a vertical roof and is built in 12-gauge, so it comes with an additional 20-year limited warranty on rust-through of the framing, assuming normal user care and maintenance.

Remember, the buildings that we post on our blogs are live examples of what we are capable of. The dimensions can always be altered to whatever you desire, and any features you want can be added, such as walk-in doors, windows, garage doors, etc. Give us a call! Let one of our sales representatives assist you, and don’t forget to ask for financing options!

Trunk or Treat 2017

October 23, 2017/in Blog, Promotions /by clickgiant

On October 21^st, 2017 from 4 – 6 p.m. we hosted a Trunk or Treat event at our headquarters location in Joshua, Texas and we could not have been any more pleased with the outcome. With Halloween just around the corner, we felt like this free celebration was the right thing to do for our local community. Alongside 92.1 Hank FM and the Party Patrol, we were all immersed in the holiday spirit.

The energy and enthusiasm everyone brought was an incredible sight to see. American Steel Carports, Inc. would like to deeply thank all our fellow friends who were a part of this wonderful experience. You all were amazing, lively, and clever with Halloween costumes. We truly cannot wait to have another successful event next year!

Around 4 p.m. our location was beginning to come alive with families and their creative costumes. From little plague doctors and Stormtroopers to magical butterflies and Cinderella’s, American Steel Carports, Inc. converted into a diverse enchanted ground with a common goal: trunk or treating and Party Patrol fun. As you would walk by each metal building, you’d find a vehicle’s trunk uniquely accessorized with Halloween décor and spooky designs (shout out to our wonderful ASCI team!). There, these jubilant characters filled their Halloween buckets with a variety of candy. Not to mention, our fellow attendees also received free items including t-shirts, frisbees, water bottles, keychains, and footballs on our behalf.

By 5 p.m. American Steel Carports, Inc. had a full-fledged celebration. 92.1 Hank FM played our favorite country hits and brought spectacular entertainment. Family and friends were gathered around their booth ready to win amazing prices such as state fair passes, concert tickets, and so much more – congratulations to all the winners! From hula hooping and water balloon tossing to naming country tunes and line dancing, we all had nothing short of fun. Everyone was super engaged with the Party Patrol and trunk or treating, but when we found time to settle down a bit, our food station was prepared with free hot dogs and drinks for our creative guests. I personally enjoyed walking by and seeing parents take pictures of their children by our little hay bale/pumpkin set up. In addition, we had a Fall photo booth where attendees could take free pictures by one of our staff members. Throughout the event, our enchanted guests would stop by to strike a pose (if you were one of them, please feel free to download them from our gallery!).

Again, thank you so much to everyone who joined American Steel Carports, Inc. for our annual Trunk or Treat event; we were thrilled to have you here! In case you missed it, no worries – there is always next year! Our following event is at the Texas Motor Speedway on Nov. 3-5 so be sure to catch us there or feel free to stop by our Joshua office again to say hello.

The Metal Barn for You

September 11, 2017/in Blog /by clickgiant

Agricultural buildings are an amazing addition to your property, especially when it comes to the farm life. They not only offer protection for your livestock, but can also be used to store farm equipment.

Our metal barns are divided into three sections: the center unit (main unit) and our left and right wings (lean-tos). The center unit tends to be wider and obviously taller than the lean-tos, especially when the structure is used for livestock; it usually offers a type of entrance. The lean-tos can offer extended shelter for your livestock or can be enclosed to create separate sections to store farm equipment, animal feed, etc.

Take a look at this metal barn:

• 18’W x 56’L x 12’H (main unit)

• A-Frame Horizontal

• Horizontal Ends

• Two 10’x10′ Roll-Up Doors

• Two 36″x80″ Walk-In Doors

• Six Windows

•12’W x 56’L x 10’/8’H (Lean-Tos)

• Concrete Anchors

This particular metal barn has two 10’ x 10’ roll-up doors on each end, making it more likely to be used for storage purposes. However, keep in mind that we’re here to make this building according to your needs. If you like the design but not the dimensions or even the placement of the doors, we can always alter it until we meet your expectations.

If you would like to see more designs or ideas for your metal barn, please click here—or feel free to look at our previous blogs for more pictures and information. If you give us a call and ask to speak with a sales representative, our experts will help you build the metal barn of your dreams. Remember that we can also provide you with a rough sketch to help you visualize your creation.

Tropical Storm Harvey

September 1, 2017/in Blog /by clickgiant

We would like to thank everyone who took time out of their busy schedules to bring their donations to our offices. We greatly appreciate it!

The situation in Southeast Texas is totally heartbreaking. Houston and all the cities that we used to know are unrecognizable. As we arrived at the shelter and started to unpack all of the gathered supplements, the joy on the faces of the people who greeted us was nothing like we could expect. Despite the situation, these people were more than happy to know that there were others out there contributing with what they could.

It’s great to know that the victims of Tropical Storm Harvey are in good hands now, with food, water, clothing, toiletries, etc. This is all thanks to the kind individuals who took time to contribute to this cause.

Here are some pictures from our journey:

Simple, but Strong

December 2, 2016/in Blog, Questions /by clickgiant

American Steel offers simple, strong, and resistant designs to house your RV or vehicles.

At American Steel Carports, we certify our buildings to ensure that they are built with the most durable material. Of the many designs that we offer to meet your needs and expectations, we always try to provide the simplest designs at an affordable price. Many of our prices may vary in different states because we need to meet the state codes for our buildings to be certified.

Take a look at this design from one of our customers in Lakeside, Arizona. The design is very simple, since the structure only came with sides and an A-frame vertical roof.

• 30’W x 40’L x 12’H

• A-Frame Vertical Roof

• 12-Gauge

• Horizontal Sides

• Mobile Home Anchors

*interior design may vary by state or region.

The structure is constructed with 12-gauge galvanized tubing, which comes with a 20-year warranty on framing rust-through assuming normal care and maintenance. The unit also comes with a 90 MPH wind warranty when you purchase all anchors needed.

Keep in mind that we can install your unit anywhere you want as long as your land is leveled. It is the customer’s responsibility to let us know where the unit is going to be installed and which direction it will face.

All of our buildings are engineer-certified. With the many designs and options available for you to choose from, there are no limits.

What Are My Steel Roof Options?

August 26, 2016/in Blog, Questions /by clickgiant

Are you considering a steel garage or steel carport? If so, the first thing you will need to think about is how you will be using your unit. The next step, figure out what roof option you need.

The roof of your steel unit is very important as it will be what protects your belongings. Your steel roof choice can also depict the look of your steel unit, too.

At American Steel, we have two roofing options available to choose from.

A-Frame Vertical Steel Roof

The A-frame vertical roof design is quite popular amongst customers because it is not only sturdy but also cost effective. With this type of roof, the roof sheeting runs vertically in length helping snow and other elements slide off easily.

A-Frame Horizontal Steel Roof

Although the A-Frame horizontal roof design looks very similar to the vertical design, the sheets are instead placed horizontally. The A-frame shape still helps the horizontal roof disperse snow fairly well. However, A-frame horizontal roofs are more commonly seen in places that don’t get very much snow.

Other Additional Steel Carport Features Available

Along with your roof style, you have other features that will help make your steel unit truly yours.

Extra Trusses

If you are someone that lives in a place that sees heavy snowfall, it is wise to think about adding extra trusses. The trusses help create an even sturdier support for your metal roof.

Larger Braces

Just as trusses help make your roof stronger, larger braces help increase the strength of the actual steel structure.

45 degree Angles

To give your steel unit a unique look, 45-degree angles sheeting can be installed on the front corners of any A-frame unit design.

Solar Vents

If you plan on using your unit as a workplace, you may choose to have solar air vents installed. Made with high-quality roofing material, the solar vents will allow air to flow inside of your steel unit making it a great place to work. It is important to know that these 5-watt high-efficiency panels can only be installed on A-frame vertical design.

Skylights

Skylights look amazing when added to a steel unit. They are available in different sizes and colors but are also only installed on vertical roofs.
