*Note: We also offer colonial/wainscot on vertical buildings. However, there will be additional fees depending on the size of the end and the sides.*

Lean-Tos

Posted on May 30, 2018 by - ACI, Blog, Customer Builds, Questions

Have you considered covering a small part of your driveway for your vehicle? Perhaps providing shade to certain belongings that need to be protected from the harsh weather? Whichever case best describes your situation, know that American Carports is here to meet your needs and specifications.

 

Lean-to units are great for providing protection alongside existing buildings. These structures can be customized to fit your needs. A lean-to is a structure that slopes off in a single direction. Most lean-tos are attached to another structure. Unfortunately, American Carports cannot attach lean-tos to your existing structure—but we can install very close against the existing structure. These units are excellent options for installing a covered sidewalk along your building to protect your customers or guests from rain or snow.

 

If you would like to put a lean-to up against your house to provide parking for your vehicle, we can also do that. The spacing will have to be altered if you have doors or windows that you want to remain accessible and open. Just let us know the layout and specifications of your property so that we can customize the unit for you.

 

Since we’re talking about lean-tos, take a closer look at this 11’W x 17’L x 11’/9’H freestanding lean-to:

 

 

Need one like this? Perhaps something a little different? Give us call and ask to speak with one of our sales representatives! We’d be more than happy to assist you with any questions or concerns you may have.

 

 

*Note: Once a lean-to exceeds 12’ in width, additional material for reinforcement will be added.

30 x 41 x 12 – 3-Bay Metal Garage

Posted on May 23, 2018 by - A-Frame Vertical, ACI, Blog, Buildings, Custom, Garage, Informative, News/Press, Our Specialty, Product Reviews, Steel Structures

If you have multiple vehicles at your house, it may be a little challenging to get every single one protected from the weather, especially if the only garage you have is the one attached to your house. Moving the other cars just to get one out can be quite annoying, too, especially if you’re in a hurry or the weather isn’t cooperating.

This scenario happens pretty often. That’s why American Carports encourages you to acquire a 3-bay metal garage for your vehicles. The big advantage of having your garage doors on the side of the building, instead of the end, is that expanding in length is not as expensive as expanding in width. End walls are pricier due to the material needed. With your garage doors on the side, your cars will be just as secure, and at a lower cost.

Check out this 30’W x 41’L x 12’H 3-bay metal garage:

  • A-Frame Vertical Roof
  • Horizontal Sides & Ends
  • 3 – 10’x10′ Roll-Up Doors
  • 36″x80″ Walk-In Door

You can always come up with your own designs as well. Also, remember that we can always adjust the length, width, and height of any metal building according to your needs. Doors sizes can always be changed as well. All the pictures we’ve shown, are just live examples of designs and styles that our customers opt for according to their specifications and tastes.

If you have a project in mind, or you’re looking to get a quote, give us a call! Let one of your experts assist you with any questions you may have. Don’t forget to ask about our financing options.

 

Protect Your Second Home

Posted on May 16, 2018 by - Blog

Our RVs are like a second home: they protect us from the weather, they give us comfort, and they take us anywhere we want to go. Next time you’re planning a family vacation out in the woods, guess how you’ll get there and start the adventure?

 

RVs are a big investment, and we need to take care of them. One of the biggest concerns is where you will park your RV. Some RVs are giants compared to others, and you might be discouraged because our flyers say that our metal structures aren’t higher than 12 feet tall. However, that doesn’t mean that we cannot go over 12 feet tall. In fact, the tallest we can go is 20 feet! Take a look at this 16’W x 36’L x 14’H unit:

 

 

You can let your imagination run wild when it comes to customizing your metal RV cover. This particular RV cover comes with a horizontal roof, a 12’ x 12’ overhead door, a 36” x 80” walk-in door, and concrete anchors.

 

Looking for something taller? How about something wider? Perhaps longer? Don’t worry, all of our units are custom-built per your needs! Give us a call to speak with one of our experts! Don’t forget to ask about our financing options. Want to see our buildings in person? Ask for your local dealer!

Fully Vertical Building

Posted on May 15, 2018 by - ACI, Blog, Customer Builds

Summer is already here, but there’s still time to get your metal building before it gets hotter!

 

Steel garages offer a great protection for your vehicles and other valuables, especially from the blazing sun. But our metal buildings not only keep your belongings in the shade, they protect them from the winter! We can provide the right materials in the right amounts to follow your local codes and requirements and certify your building for snow loads and winds!

 

An all-vertical metal garage is highly recommended for northern and snowy areas. Because the panels run vertically, snow can run off the roof and walls easily. A great example of a fully vertical metal garage is this 30′W × 31′L × 11′H below:

 

• 2 – 10’x10′ Overhead Doors

• Walk-In Door

• Concrete Anchors (90-Mph Wind Warranty) *Optional*

 

 

*Disclaimer: interior designs may vary by state or region. Buildings may require additional trusses to meet local codes. Prices are subject to change at any time without notice. Please contact our sales department for our latest prices.*

 

Overhead doors offer a unique residential style, but we also offer regular overhead doors. And remember that we offer colored roll-up doors! Ask our representatives for more information.

 

 

Give us a call and let a sales representative help you customize your metal building. If you don’t want overhead doors, we also offer roll-up doors. Just ask our experts! Don’t forget to check out our products for more pictures and ideas!

Custom Metal Building w/ Lean-To

Posted on May 7, 2018 by - Blog

Wouldn’t it be great if metal buildings, such as garages, workshops, or even barns, were built in a more residential style? American Carports has taken its buildings to the next level. We want to make sure that we meet all your expectations and provide you with high-quality products, most importantly with certified buildings that will last for years.

 

Many of our customers add lean-tos to their structures, and the way they use them varies with their specific needs. This 30’W x 61’L x 12’H metal structure built in 12-gauge is a perfect example of how our buildings can be adapted to a residential style. It also uses our new deluxe windows and has the A-frame vertical roof style on both the structure itself and the lean-to.

 

• 2 – 10’x8 Roll-Up Doors (front and back)

• 6 – Windows

• Walk-In Door (on the side)

• 12’W x 61’L x 11’/8’H Lean-To

• A-Frame Vertical Roof

• 2 –  Gable End

 

Disclaimer: Additional material might be required to meet local codes. Therefore, the inside design and pricing may vary by state. Prices are subject to change at any time without notice. Please contact our sales department for our latest prices*

 

A-Frame Vertical Roofs allow for easy maintenance because the panels are all siding, from the peak to the eaves. They let water, snow, and dirt run off easily.

 

Impressive, isn’t it? And we can change the building’s dimensions to suit your needs. This is just a small preview of what we can offer you. Remember, it’s your ideas that make the difference with your metal buildings. And with thirteen (13) colors to choose from, you can add your own personal touch.
