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.

Simple Enough for a Storage Building

Posted on May 9, 2018 by - Blog

Do you need additional space for your equipment? How about additional room for your tools? If you’re answer is yes, then you’ve come to the right place!

 

Traditional metal storage units offer the same quality and strength as the rest of our custom buildings. In fact, all you need to get your metal storage room started is a roll-up door. Of course, you can always add walk-in doors or even windows, but a simple roll-up door is more than enough to keep your belongings protected.

 

Check out this 20’W x 31’L x 12’H with an insulated roof, 10×8 roll-up door, 36×80 walk-in door, two (2) windows, and concrete anchors.

Custom Metal Carport

Posted on April 30, 2018 by - Blog

What if you want an open carport but you need the extra spacing on the sides?

 

At American Carports, we want to accommodate all your needs. When it comes to carports, there are many ways to customize your building. Whether it’s an open carport or an enclosed metal building, we can help you personalize it.

 

Take a look at this 18′W × 26′L × 12′H from one of our customers. This custom carport has two 10′ headers, offering generous clearance and enough space for two decent-sized vehicles. Even with only one side in the carport, it provides enough shade for vehicles.

 

• A-Frame Vertical Roof

• Vertical Side

• Horizontal Gable End

• 2 – 10 ft Headers

• Concrete Anchors (90-mph Wind Warranty)

 

*Disclaimer: interior designs may vary by state or region. Above design is good for only for 30 PSF (ground snow load) may require additional trusses to meet local codes. Lateral support might be required based on wind loads. Prices are subject to change at any time without notice. Please contact our sales department for our latest prices.*

 

Remember, you don’t need a concrete slab for most of our units under 30′ wide. However, it is important for your ground to be level in order for us to install your unit.

 

 

What are the wind rating and snow load?

 

American Carports offers a 90-mph wind warranty with the purchase of all the anchors your unit needs. But this doesn’t mean we can’t certify your unit against even stronger winds. Please check with your county before making a purchase.

 

Snow loads also play a significant role, especially in northern states. Most of our units are certified for 30 lbs/ft2. But we can still certify your metal building according to your county’s requirements and specifications.

Practical Protection

Posted on April 25, 2018 by - Blog

If you live out in the country, you must know that farm equipment needs protection at all times, especially if it’s just sitting out in the open. The inclement weather might affect your tools, and what about your livestock? Our buildings can be used to protect both of these, giving them the prefect shade during the summer when temperatures can be suffocating.

 

If you’re thinking of purchasing a metal building for your farm, take a look at this 12’W x 26’L x 6’H structure:

 

 

This metal building can be used to give shade to your livestock or even store your farm equipment. It comes with a horizontal roof (boxed eave), a 36” x 80” walk-in door, and two (2) windows.

 

Remember that all of our metal buildings are custom-made. If you like one of our buildings but need to adjust the length or height, just give us call and let one of sales representatives make those changes for you!

It seems like the main purpose of this metal building is to provide shade to certain vehicles. Instead of a carport, this customer wanted to protect his toys with a 3-sided building and is rocking our evergreen color.

Simple Design, Same Strength

Posted on April 18, 2018 by - Blog

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:

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.
