Add Value to Your Property

Posted on April 10, 2018 by - ACI, Blog, Customer Builds

This year feels like it’s going pretty fast, but you still have enough time to place your order and be ready for the summer and winter!

 

We specialize in metal buildings. Whether you want a mini-storage, metal barn, simple carport, or more complex building or warehouse, American Carports will be there to make sure that your unit gets installed correctly. Our sales representatives will work with you to ensure that you get exactly what you’re looking for. We can even provide a free sketch for visual purposes!

 

Take this 30’W x 51’L x 10’H metal workshop as an example of what we’re capable of:

 

• A-Frame Vertical Roof

• Four (4) – 10’x8′ Roll-Up Doors (on the side)

• Two (2) – 30″x30″ Windows (one on each end)

• 6’x7′ Roll-Up Door (front end)

• 36″x80″ Walk-In Door (back end)

 

 

NOTE: Adding roll-up doors on the side of the building can save you some money, since it’s cheaper to grow in length than in width. When the metal building overpasses 30’ in length, we strongly recommend opting for a vertical roof; this will help you avoid any leaks in the future.

 

You can always share your ideas and thoughts and customize your own building, and we will do our best to make it happen. Remember, the dimensions and additional features (such as garage doors, windows, etc.) can always be changed.

 

Give us a call! And don’t forget to ask about our financing options. Ask for your local dealer if you want to get a closer look at our available metal buildings.

Would you like to design your own metal garage, but don’t know what kind of style might work for you?

 

Don’t worry American Carports, Inc. has the most reliable metal buildings around the area to give you the best quality at the most affordable price.

 

 

Many of our customers, come up with their own ideas by referring to our products page. Apart from showing you the picture of the carport, we have also described the specs for you in order to give you an idea of what we offer. Remember that you can always add any extra features, as long as it doesn’t exceed the height, length or width.

 

 

A great example is this garage with two roll-up doors:

 

• 30’W x 46’L x 12’H

• A-Frame Vertical Roof

• 2 – 10’x10′ Roll-Up Doors

• 36″ x 72″ Walk-In Door

Is There a Limit on the Length of a Metal Building?

Posted on March 27, 2018 by - Blog

The answer is NO! At American Carports, we do not put limitations on the length of our metal buildings. If you ever need a building longer than our flyers advertise, don’t let that discourage you from making a purchase. You’d be surprised how many people call us asking if they can go longer than 51’—and our answer is always yes!

 

Although the most common request on our buildings is 60’ long, there have been cases where customers have big projects in mind that can be as long as a 100’! And since we’re talking about long metal buildings, why don’t you take a look at this 24’W x 61’L x 10’H custom metal building:

 

 

This custom metal building has an insulated roof (which is totally optional), two (2) 10’ x 8’ roll-up doors, four (4) windows on the side of the building, and a walk-in door.

 

Remember that we can customize any metal building according to your needs and requirements. We can also add insulation to your unit—but remember that the panels must run vertically in order for us to do so.

 

Need something larger? We’re always here to help create that metal building of your dreams! Our sales experts will stand by you for the entire process until we get exactly what you’re looking for. We can also provide a free sketch to figure out the details and visualize your metal building together! Call us now, and don’t forget to ask about our financing options.

Fully Vertical Metal Garage

Posted on February 16, 2018 by - ACI, Blog, Customer Builds, Questions

Want to have real garage doors?

 

At American Carports, we don’t only offer roll-up doors. We also have overhead doors to give you a residential look and quality. Our garages doors come in a standard design, meaning they don’t have windows or insulation,  but you can upgrade overhead doors with glass windows, and if the unit will be fully insulated, you can insulate the door too! Our overhead doors are also compatible with garage openers.

 

Look at this fully vertical metal garage rocking our overhead doors:

 

• 26’W x 31’L x 11’H

• 12-Gauge Galvanized Tubing

• Fully Vertical

• 2 – 10′ x 10′ Overhead Doors

• 36″ x 80″ Walk-In Door (on the side)

• Concrete Anchors (90-mph wind warranty)

 

*Disclaimer: interior designs may vary by state or region*

 

 

What are the advantages of a fully vertical garage?

 

One of the main advantages is low maintenance. Because the panels run vertically, they’re also more strongly recommended for northern areas, especially places with heavy snowfall.

 

How do I have my building certified for the snow loads in my area?

 

Our buildings are already certified for 30 psf. But if your area has heavy snow loads, we can certify our buildings to withstand those too. On top of that, vertical siding WILL NOT let snow accumulate on the roof or cause it to collapse.

 

We’re almost into summer, and the elevated temperatures will make it a good idea to acquire a metal garage to protect your vehicle from the blazing sun. Keep your car in the shade to prevent the paint from fading and cracking.

 

Give us a call! We can help you picture the metal garage of your dreams! Remember, delivery and installation are FREE on your level land or concrete pad. Want to see more buildings? Go to our blogs for more recently installed metal buildings and valuable information.

Storage Building in AZ

Posted on November 29, 2017 by - Questions

Are you looking for simple storage room, but still want quality?

 

We offer great quality on even the simplest buildings when it comes to all four seasons. We’re so sure about the strength of our metal buildings that we offer a one-year workmanship warranty on each one. We want to give you quality for what you pay, and we want to make sure that you’re happy with your purchase.

 

With over 15 years of experience in the carport industry, we know exactly how to build that building of your dreams. Whether it’s a custom design or a simple garage, our highly skilled installers will work non-stop until your metal building is fully erected and ready to be used.

 

Many of our customers opt for a traditional storage room for their belongings. As you know, it’s not necessary to build a custom unit to keep your belongings safe. However, if you live in an area where snow or wind is an important factor to consider, then additional material will be needed to meet your local codes.

 

 

Is it necessary to have a concrete pad for my building?

 

No. Concrete pads are optional for metal buildings under 30’ in width. Take this 20’W x 21’L x 9’H metal garage as an example:

 

• Horizontal Sides & Ends

• 10’x8′ Roll-Up Door (front end)

• 36″x80″ Walk-In Door (on the side)

• 2 – Windows (back end, right side)

 

This metal storage room has a vertical roof and is built in 12-gauge, so it comes with an additional 20-year limited warranty on rust-through of the framing, assuming normal user care and maintenance.

 

Remember, the buildings that we post on our blogs are live examples of what we are capable of. The dimensions can always be altered to whatever you desire, and any features you want can be added, such as walk-in doors, windows, garage doors, etc. Give us a call! Let one of our sales representatives assist you, and don’t forget to ask for financing options!

The Metal Barn for You

Posted on September 11, 2017 by - Blog

Agricultural buildings are an amazing addition to your property, especially when it comes to the farm life. They not only offer protection for your livestock, but can also be used to store farm equipment.

 

Our metal barns are divided into three sections: the center unit (main unit) and our left and right wings (lean-tos). The center unit tends to be wider and obviously taller than the lean-tos, especially when the structure is used for livestock; it usually offers a type of entrance. The lean-tos can offer extended shelter for your livestock or can be enclosed to create separate sections to store farm equipment, animal feed, etc.

 

Take a look at this metal barn:

 

• 18’W x 56’L x 12’H (main unit)

• A-Frame Horizontal

• Horizontal Ends

• Two 10’x10′ Roll-Up Doors

• Two 36″x80″ Walk-In Doors

• Six Windows

•12’W x 56’L x 10’/8’H (Lean-Tos)

• Concrete Anchors

 

 

This particular metal barn has two 10’ x 10’ roll-up doors on each end, making it more likely to be used for storage purposes. However, keep in mind that we’re here to make this building according to your needs. If you like the design but not the dimensions or even the placement of the doors, we can always alter it until we meet your expectations.

 

If you would like to see more designs or ideas for your metal barn, please click here—or feel free to look at our previous blogs for more pictures and information. If you give us a call and ask to speak with a sales representative, our experts will help you build the metal barn of your dreams. Remember that we can also provide you with a rough sketch to help you visualize your creation.
