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.

Wide Enough for Your Toys

Posted on April 12, 2018 by - ACI, Blog, Customer Builds

We all know that custom metal buildings look great and get tons of attention due to the design and how well put together they are. However, don’t believe that your building has to be expensive in order for you to get engineer-certified customization. One of our simple storage buildings is still engineer-certified. In fact, all of our buildings are!

 

Take this 30’W x 31’L x 9’H as an example:

 

 

The design may be simple, but you can always add features to make it look like the building you always wanted. This metal building has a vertical roof, two (2) 10’ x 8’ roll-up doors, a 36” x 80” walk-in door, two (2) windows, and concrete anchors.

 

You can protect all of your toys with a triple-wide metal building. Remember that we can always install your unit on plain ground as long as it’s leveled. Want to place your order? Call us now! We can help you find the perfect metal building – and don’t forget to ask about our financing options!

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.

Customize Your Garage!

Posted on April 3, 2018 by - Blog, Product Reviews

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

 

 

This particular customer decided to go with an A-Frame Vertical Roof in order to have an easy experience when it comes to maintenance. Vertical roofs offer the advantage of less maintenance. It lets water, snow, etc. run off quickly and does not let it pond up on the roof.

 

 

We want our customers to get exactly what they want, and what better way than to let them design their own metal buildings?

 

Our friendly staff will be happy to help you with a quote or any questions you may have. Keep in mind that we offer financing. We want to give you the best experience when purchasing your first carport. Just give us a call for more information.
