Why you Should Contact your City Prior to Ordering

During the process of obtaining your desired metal building you should check with your local city or county first. They will provide for you all the local codes and requirements needed. The main benefit of doing so before purchase is to ensure that you do not face penalties or even the possibility of being forced to remove your building. Contacting the city will help you make sure that you purchase the correct building for snow and wind loads in your area. If a permit is required, American Steel Carports can provide either a Generic or Specific set of plans at an additional cost. The order must be placed with the 10% down payment and the price for plans before we make a request to have them sent out. Plans take between 10-14 business days from the day we receive the order in the office and it is approved to move forward.

 

The reason the order must be placed before we release plans is to ensure that the drawings are being made up to your specific order. Specific plans are nonrefundable and if you must make modifications to pass for a permit after they are drawn up, there will be an additional fee. If you fail to pass for a permit yet again, and if you wish to cancel the order, you can receive a portion of your down payment back.

 

American Steel Carports has trained sales reps and engineers to help answer your questions and to make any accommodations that you may need.

Simple Design, Same Strength

Metal buildings with simple designs might be mistaken for weak structures. However, that’s not true when it comes to American Carports. All of our buildings, including the simple designs, are engineer-certified—which means that they’re built to last!

 

When it comes to protecting our belongings, we don’t all want something custom. As long as the metal structures provide shelter for them, we can be more than satisfied. Your traditional metal building with a roll-up door, a window, and a walk-in door can do this for you! Take a look at this 18’W x 21’L x 8’H example:

 

 

This metal building comes with a horizontal roof, a 10’ x 8’ roll-up door, a walk-in door, and a window.

Additional Extensions to Your Metal Storage Building

 

Lean-tos are very handy when it comes to additions. They don’t just offer protection—they can also serve as extra space or a small carport for your vehicle! Most of our customers prefer a 3-foot or larger drop on their lean-tos, but remember that it’s your choice how to enhance your metal building!

 

 

Types of Lean-Tos:

 

We offer two different styles when it comes to lean-tos. The first one is the regular drop lean-to. As explained earlier, this lean-to has a gap from the original height, coming down to whichever height you prefer.

 

The second style is a continuous lean-to, which means that there’s no gap in between the first height from the second one. You can see the sample of a continuous lean-to below:

 

 

What Makes American Carports Different?

 

Unlike other companies, we provide the right number of trusses in order to protect our metal buildings from the environment. However, we also recommend that you acquire our concrete, mobile home, or asphalt anchors in order to avoid disastrous situations. Another of our features is that we count with a variety of sizes when it comes to roll-up and overhead doors.

 

Here is a great example of a metal building with a continuous lean-to.

 

• 26’W x 31’L x 11’H

• 14-Gauge Galvanized Tubing

• A-Frame Horizontal Roof

• 36×72 Walk-In Door (on the side)

• 18 x 9 Roll-Up Door

• 12’W x 31’L x 8’H Continuous Lean-To

• Concrete Anchors (90-mph wind warranty)

 

 

American Carports will take care of the delivery and installation of your metal building on your level site or concrete slab. We want to make sure that our buildings meet your expectations and needs. Remember that you can always give us a call for more information. One of our sales representatives will assist you and answer any questions you might have about our buildings.
