What is a Lean-to?

Were you looking for a building that can not only meet your carport needs but also can be used as a garage. This sort of structure has it’s own genuine name because of the fact that it is one of our clients top choices. The name of this type of building is a Lean-to building. A Lean-to can be described as a structure that slopes off to one direction. It has a fully enclosed part from the building and an open area. It provides you with the best of both worlds between a carport and a garage. Another more affordable choice is a utility, but their is a difference between these two.

They are very identical but the preference is yours!

Carport vs Garage

Posted on April 15, 2019 by - ACI, Blog, Buildings, Carports, Custom, Garage, Informative, News, Our Specialty, Product Reviews, Promotions, Questions, Standard, Steel Structures, Uncategorized

If you’re only worried about sun, hail, or snow ruining your car’s paint job, a simple carport can do the job perfectly, but a garage can do a lot more. The full coverage is great for keeping your tools and other things safe as well. Both carports and garages come with benefits as well as disadvantages, and in the end the decision is all yours!

    Carports

A carport is a fully-open or semi-covered steel structure that attaches to your home or stands freely anywhere on your property. The number one reason to choose a carport instead of a garage is that it’s the more affordable way to protect your vehicles. But just because a carport is less expensive than a garage doesn’t mean it can’t look amazing, especially here with American Carports. We have a variety of details you can customize for your building, so you can make sure that your carport suits you perfectly. Other advantages that a carport has that a garage wouldn’t would be that they are much quicker and easier to build.

Parking your car in a carport will keep weather conditions from destroying its paint so quickly, and can also save it from blowing tree branches and hail during bad storms. The roof of a carport will also intercept falling tree sap.

A carport also has some disadvantages. An open structure like a carport isn’t very secure. A carport can’t protect your vehicles from animals or people, so all your belongings might be at risk for damage. Also, you can’t be completely protected from wind, rain and sun rays.

     Garages

Unlike a carport, a garage is a completely enclosed structure with walls, roofing, and an entrance that can be closed. A garage offers you more coverage, concealment, and protection for your vehicles, boats, or materials. Because a garage has four walls, it provides complete protection from sun, hail, rain and wind. Plus, it keeps animals out. With good door locks, your garage will be a secure place to store not only your cars but household overflow, tools and lawn equipment.

If your family grows and you need the space for an extra room, you might be able to convert your garage into “livable” space in the future. You can buy all kinds of shelves, cabinets, drawers and hooks designed specifically for garages, which typically are large enough for your parked cars plus some work and storage space.

The main disadvantage with a garage is the price, but with all the protection provided, it really might be worth it. Another disadvantage can be getting the permit for your unit. Since the building is fully enclosed, it requires more safety necessities. For that reason you would have to check with your city’s permits office for all of the rules and regulations.

 

Considering these differences, it’s really up to you to decide what you’re looking for. Hopefully we’ve helped you decide. You can definitely get started by calling today to speak with one of our sales representatives for a FREE quote! We will work with you until we find the perfect metal building for your needs.

There’s no doubt that when something catches your attention, and it’s pleasing to the eye, you’ll begin to think about it a lot and want to get it for yourself. Some easy examples are a brand-new car or truck, brand-new clothes or even a brand-new toy. Well, the same thing can happen with a metal structure. If you’re looking to protect your brand-new vehicle or toys, you’ll want to find a structure that is well-built and reliable, so that your belongings will be well-protected, but you’ll also want something that looks great on your property.

With a metal structure, the looks are more aesthetic than practical, but aesthetics are important too, and we understand that. At American Carports, we like to let our customers be creative with their color choices by giving them the freedom to choose from our 13 different color options at no additional price. Of course, we will certify that your metal structure is strong enough to last for many years.

With that being said, let us tease you with this 30’W x 36’Lx 12’H Side Entry Garage:

30’ x 51’x 10’ Fully Vertical Workshop

Posted on December 3, 2018 by - A-Frame Vertical, ACI, Blog, Buildings, Custom, Customer Builds, Steel Structures, Workshop

When people hear the word custom, their first thought is often more money or having to pay the custom price due to extra material needed. That might be true, depending on the number of extra features you might need, or this may not apply to you at all. When we say the word custom, we’re talking about your chance to come up with your own design, or simply base your design on another one that you’ve seen before. That’s the first definition of custom. The second definition is when you go over the top by ordering something like 40’ wide x 150’ long x 16’ tall: now that’s is definitely a custom building that might need additional material for reinforcement and will be needed to be placed on a concrete slab for stability reasons. If you’re up for a challenge like that, we are too! But this would fit the scenario where you will have to pay a custom price.

Let us show you what we consider a custom unit, without needing additional features to be all that custom. This 30’W x 51’L x 10’H fully vertical workshop is the go-to option for many customers who are looking to protect their belongings:

  • 12-Gauge Galvanized Tubing
  • 3 – 10′ x 8′ Openings
  • 7 – Windows (5 on the side, 2 on the ends)
  • 36″ x 80″ Walk-In Door (on the side)
  • 8′ x 7′ Roll-Up Door (back end)
  • Fully Insulated

As you can see, the dimensions on this workshop are still under our triple-wide units. One of the reasons that this metal workshop might come off as expensive is the vertical siding. This vertical siding is highly recommended to areas where it snows frequently. However, if you reside in an area that rarely gets snow, then the horizontal siding will be more than enough for you. One thing to note is that due to the length of this unit, we highly suggest sticking with the vertical roof to avoid leaks in the future.

Feel inspired? Give us a call now for pricing on this metal building and let one of our experts help you customize this workshop according to your needs and preferences. Don’t forget to ask about our available financing options!
