30’ x 41’ x 10’ Triple Wide Steel Building

Posted on January 9, 2019 by - A-Frame Vertical, ACI, Blog, Buildings, Custom, Customer Builds, Steel Structures

Now is the perfect time to start looking for that steel building you’ve been wanting! Start the year off with a clean look on your land for an affordable price. A metal building is the best solution if you’re planning on keeping your belongings indoors. We always recommend opting for a vertical roof, which allows snow, water, leaves, and other debris to slide off easily instead of piling on. However, if you’re located in an area where you don’t have to worry about this kind of debris, then you can opt for a standard or horizontal roof.

American Carports provides you with the best quality in materials, offering you a one-year workmanship warranty. If you decide to upgrade to a 12-gauge, we will also include a 20-year warranty on rust through of the framing.

Below you’ll find this 30’W x 41’L x 10’H triple wide metal building:

  • 12-Guage Galvanized Tubing
  • A-Frame Vertical Roof
  • 20′ x 8′ Frame Out (no door)

The first thing you’ll notice is the huge opening measuring 20’ x 8’ (no door). Customers can place their own garage doors as desired.

Please note that placing a different garage door, not provided from American Carports, will void any warranties that the structure may have.

You can customize the size and style of any of our metal buildings on our website. Give us a call today to speak with one of our experts to help you envision and build the metal building of your dreams. We also offer Rent-to-Own in ALL our service areas!

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.

Now you know the difference between our categories of metal buildings. We hope this has enlightened you.

18’ x 41’ x 15’ Fully Enclosed RV Cover

Posted on November 26, 2018 by - A-Frame Vertical, ACI, Blog, Buildings, Custom, Customer Builds, Our Specialty, RV Carports, Steel Structures

Let’s talk about RV covers. There are three basic kinds of covers that you can choose from. The first method is just a simple roof. This method is one of the most economical, though you’ll have to consider that you’re only protecting your RV from the sunlight, rain, and other natural elements. The second method is to have partial sides. The most common option is 3 feet of enclosure on the sides, but it’s also possible to have full sides. The last method is a full enclosure with a convenient roll-up door to get your RV in and out with no problem.

This option is appealing because it offers the most protection, but it can be tricky because getting the dimensions correct is crucial. The first thing we would recommend is to measure your RV. If you’re fully enclosing it, you also have to make sure that you have enough space on the sides in order for you to be able to get in and out without hitting the door on the building, so be sure to add additional clearances. The height of your RV is extremely important! If you’ll have a roll-up door on your enclosure, you have to make sure that there is enough room above your RV for the door when it’s open. Also, keep in mind that the leg height of the enclosure needs to be 1’ taller than door height.

Here is an example of an 18’W x 41’L x 15’H Enclosed RV Cover:

  • 12-Gauge Galvanized Tubing
  • A-Frame Vertical Roof
  • Horizontal Sides & Ends
  • 12′ x 14′ Roll-Up Door
  • 36″ x 80″ Walk-In Door (on the side)

Maybe the size of this cover will be enough for your RV. Keep in mind that we can make adjustments according to your needs and preferences. Whether you need your RV enclosure to be longer, shorter, wider or taller, our experts will be here to assist you with anything that you need.
