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

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!

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

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.

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

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:

  • 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?

24′ x 41′ x 15′ Metal Workshop

Do you know that the tallest you can go in any of our metal buildings is 20’? There are certain restrictions that can apply when getting a building over 12’ in height, however, such as that the leg height cannot overpass the width of the building (for stability). Many of our customers often assume that we cannot go taller than 12’ due to the standard dimensions on our flyers. But don’t let the numbers fool you—we can certainly go tall. We do want to let our customers know that once a building overpasses 12’ in height, extra labor/equipment will be required.

Aside from that important information, take a look at his 24’W x 41’L x 15’H metal workshop:

  • A-Frame Vertical Roof
  • Horizontal Sides & Ends
  • 12′ x 13.5′ Roll-Up Door (front end)
  • 8′ x 8′ Roll-Up Door (front end)
  • 36″ x 80″ Walk-In Door (left side)
  • 4 – 3′ x 8′ Skylights

Outstanding, isn’t it? Now, you might be thinking, what am I going to store in something this tall? Well, metal buildings of this height can be used for many purposes. For example, if you’re looking to protect your RV, but you don’t want the typical cover, this enclosed building can definitely provide the shade and protection you need. You can also use this building as your workshop to work on your big toys; these are just a few options to give you an idea of the endless ways that you can use this metal building.

You can always customize the size, color, and features of any of our metal buildings displayed in our blogs and social media. All you need to do is give us a call and let one of our experts help you find and price the right metal building for your specific needs! Don’t forget that we now offer Rent-To-Own in all of our service areas. Give us a call at (866) 471-8761 for more information.

The Four Types of Doors We Offer

American Carports, Inc. has come a long way since the beginning; we now know that details are very important. From color options to reinforcement and ventilation features, we strive to always satisfy your needs. Thanks to this, you now have the opportunity to decide what kind of door you want. Not only does this give your unit more flexibility, but it will also enhance the overall look of your carport.

Since our customers have a multitude of door options to choose from, you will need to give us more information, from the color to the type and size. If you find yourself with a handful of questions, continue reading ‒ and remember that we’re here to help.

The four types of doors we offer are:

  • Walk-In
  • Heavy Duty Walk-In
  • Overhead
  • Roll-Up

 


Standard
Walk-In & Heavy-Duty Walk-In

Convenient and lightweight, these economical 20-gauge doors are essential for those who are looking for an “easy come, easy go” option. Choose from a 36” x 72”, 36” x 80”, or double 72” x 72” door. Though these doors are basic, they deliver more than you bargained for, especially if you upgrade to our heavy duty walk-in. There is no threshold located at the bottom of these doors, making it easy for those who use wheelchairs to enter and exit the building. We offer two sizes: 36” wide by 84” tall and 48” wide by 84” tall. Apart from the different frames, they are reversible and insulated. If extra security and additional strength are what you’re looking for, consider investing in our Heavy Duty Walk-In door.

Remember:

  • There is a $75 fee for installing doors on vertical sides.
  • There is no extra cost for doors installed on horizontal sides.
  • Heavy Duty Walk-In doors must be installed on concrete foundations.

Overhead

Our Overhead doors, also known as Sectional doors, are ideal for those who want to add a residential look to their building. Choose from our standard option, which doesn’t come insulated or with windows, or upgrade to glass windows and insulation. We also offer embossed panel designs: colonial and ranch. Select from white, almond, taupe, and brown color options. Our Overhead doors are larger than our mobile doors but are easy to open. What makes them different from a Roll-Up door? A Roll-Up door uses a chain to roll up, whereas an Overhead wraps up in sections, like a garage door.

Roll-Up

Not looking to spend much on a large door? Although they serve the same purpose as Overhead doors, these are great for those who want something economical and simple.

We offer 3 types of Roll-Ups:

  • Model 650 Mini
  • Model 2000 Commercial
  • Model 2500 Commercial

Keep in mind that our 6’ x 7’ to 10’ x 10’ sizes are considered mini. Anything above 10’ x 10’ comes with a chain hoist. There is also no outside latch on Roll-Up doors, meaning a Walk-In door is required to open the Roll-Up from the inside.

On top of this information, do you know that you can change the color of your roll-up doors for an additional price? Click here to look at all of the colors we have available to give your building that special touch.

Now that you know about the four different types of doors we offer, you can see that there are many different ways for you to customize your metal building.

Add Value to Your Property with this Workshop!

Need a new addition on your property? Want a better and bigger workshop?

Have you ever thought about having your own “man cave”? Or perhaps a workshop to work on your vehicles? If your answer to both questions is yes, it’s likely that your main concern about getting a workshop is the price. Metal buildings can range in price depending on the size and number of features added to the unit. Remember that we’re working to meet your expectations. If you’re on a budget, our experts will work with you until we design your perfect building.

So, what if you don’t have a concrete slab? Is your building going to be gone with the wind?

Our buildings don’t necessarily have to be installed on concrete slabs. Leveled surfaces like asphalt and regular ground are typically flat enough to install metal buildings. Additionally, our company offers mobile home and asphalt anchors to secure your metal building, so if you want to get our 90-mph wind warranty, we can still give it to you as long as your purchase all of the necessary anchors. However, keep in mind that any building that exceeds 30’ in width will be required to have a concrete slab.

Take a look at this beautiful metal workshop:

  • 2 – Windows (one on each side)
  • 36″x72″ Walk-In Door (on the side)
  • Additional Trussing
  • Additional Hat Channels
  • Mobile Home Anchors

Disclaimer: Interior designs may vary by state or region. This metal workshop was installed in Colorado. Therefore, it was necessary to add extra trusses in order to meet local codes.

 

We’re here to help if you’re interested in the same style as the building described above, but if you want to change its dimensions, please give us a call. Let one of our experts help you customize the building of your dreams.

Warranties That Make The Grade

Have you ever heard those scary stories from a neighbor or friend about a carport structure collapsing or even completely blowing away? This sure can be intimidating. There are many ways, however, for you to protect your structure and ensure that it is “built to last.”

From basic carports to our triple-wide steel warehouses, be assured that we can offer you the best warranties available and assist you with any information that you need.

 

Did you know that, when you upgrade your building’s frame from our standard 2.5”, 14-gauge galvanized steel to our 2¼”, 12-gauge steel material, your one-year standard warranty will be combined with a 20-year limited warranty** on frame rusting? That sounds expensive, you say. American Carports, however, offers its customers the best of the best at a price that still meets most budgets. Our 12-gauge price options vary depending on the unit’s size and, in most cases, are very similar in cost. Be sure to compare the differences when placing your order.

 

Do you get a lot of snow? No worries—American Carports has you covered. For heavier snow-load capacities, customers can purchase additional truss and bracing. You also have the ability to choose from a variety of roof options, such as the A-frame vertical or the A-frame horizontal.

They don’t call Chicago the windy city for nothing. For those customers who live in high-wind areas, American Carports offers several anchoring options, including (but not limited to) mobile home, asphalt, and cement anchors. No matter where you are located, be sure to ask about our 90 mph wind warranty.*** Our sales team will help you to determine which type of anchoring system you need.
