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.

 

Give us a call! Let one of our experts help you customize your unit. Don’t forget to ask about our financing program. Stay in touch with our work by checking our blog for new buildings, designs, ideas, and more.

Summer is slowly getting closer, which means that temperatures will rise and our belongings will need additional protection from the sun’s rays—especially our vehicles. The sun can do serious damage to our vehicles, so why not protect them?

Some of our customers opt to have sides that go halfway down the leg height or even a single full side and a half side like this 18’W x 36’L x 12’H metal carport:

 

 

This metal carport has a horizontal roof (boxed eave), a full side, a 4.5’ side, and mobile home anchors.

Colusa Farm Show

Posted on February 9, 2018 by - ACI, Blog, Customer Builds, Product Reviews

It’s a Friday morning in Colusa, California and the American Carports, Inc. team was off to a great start. We had officially wrapped up a successful Colusa Farm Show exhibition. The week had been nothing short of interesting as people from all over gathered around our booth – we had our hands full to say the least. However, the experience was absolutely worth it. We had the opportunity to network and interact with hardworking agriculturalists who love what they do. These are the type of passionate people we take pride in serving. This is what we are about. By the end of the last day, our giveaway entry box was filled with little white papers ready to be chosen. Everyone, including our team, was anxious to see who the winner of the free metal unit and Yeti cooler would be.

 

By 10:30 a.m. we were ready to go. Onesimo, the shop manager, opened the decorated box, as Daniela, our customer service associate, recited the rules. 10 entries were to be picked, the winner being the tenth one. Daniela swiveled 400 entries before Freddy Sanchez, our sales representative, chose the winner. One by one Daniela read the names until the lucky one was chosen. Onesimo did one last mix (talk about suspense) until finally… Chris Acevedo from Princeton, California was selected!

 

Within two hours our lucky winner stopped by our shop to pick up his free Yeti cooler with beverages included, American Carports gear, and an order form for his free 18x21x7 14 gauge standard carport. We couldn’t be any happier for Chris as he informed us his free metal carport is going to protect his wife’s brand-new car.

 

Chris mentioned, “I didn’t think I was going to win … I just did it … I never win … thank you guys!” This was certainly the perfect timing for him and his family. When asked how he felt about winning for the first time he stated, “I feel good, thank you, I’m happy.”

 

American Carports located in Colusa, California is a dedicated team of individuals who happily serve California, Nevada, and Oregon. Visit our location, give us a call, or stop by at our next event. We’d love to see you soon.

 

 

Thanks to Freddy, Brandon, Chris, Onesimo, Daniela, Zinay and Cruz for recording & taking the pictures.

Get Ready for the Summer!

Workshop time!

 

It’s been a month since the new year began and so far, workshops top the list of the most bought structures this year. With the great quality materials we offer, it’s no wonder that our customers buy our buildings again and again.

 

Our metal steel buildings can be used as workshops, man caves, or even garages! Depending on the features and options you add to your structure, you can customize it to create exactly the building you need.

 

So far wind has been a concern for many states due to the inclement weather adapting itself to the beginning of the spring. Keep in mind that we can certify your metal building in order to withstand those strong winds and harsh weather conditions.

 

Take a look at this 30′W x 51′L x 12′H metal building used as a workshop:

 

• 12-Gauge (20-year limited warranty on rust through of framing)

• One-year Workmanship Warranty

• A-Frame Vertical Roof

• 2 – 10 x 10 Roll-Up Doors  (on the side)

• 2 – Windows

• 90-Mph Wind Warranty (Concrete Anchors)

 

With our A-Frame Vertical roof, it gives the workshop a very unique, residential style, so that it will blend perfectly with the surrounding buildings.

 

Remember, delivery and installation is included as long as your land is level. Our one-year workmanship warranty ensures the durability and strength of our steel buildings, no matter the season or weather conditions.

 

Order your metal building today! Contact one of our representatives. Everything can start with just one phone call.

Metal Utility Building

Posted on January 25, 2018 by - Blog, News/Press

Utility buildings offer the advantages of a carport and a storage area at the same time. If you’re planning to customize your unit, you can even turn the utility building into a garage for additional space, especially if you have more than one vehicle. Remember that we will work with you according to your needs and whatever design you like the most.

 

Take this 18’(W) x 36’(L) x 10’(H) unit, for example:

 

• 14-gauge
• A-frame Vertical Roof
• Front Gable
• 2 – 15′ Headers
• 15′ Carport
• 20′ Enclosure (Sides & Ends)
• 2 – 8′ x 8′ Roll-Up Doors (front end)
• 6′ x 6′ Roll-Up Door (on the side)
• 36″ x 72″ Walk-In Door (on the side)
• Installed on Concrete

 

 

This metal building has a 20’ enclosure (20’ of garage), and the rest of the space (15’) is just the carport. Clearly, the enclosure will be used as a garage because of those roll-up doors. It can even be used to store machinery or equipment, if the owner wants a workshop.

 

We offer 12 different colors to choose from at no additional cost. Remember, we can install on any ground, as long as it is leveled. If you prefer to have your building installed on concrete, however, we can do that as well. Don’t forget to ask about our 90-mph wind warranty.

 

Give us a call! If you ask to speak with a sales representative, our experts will help you customize your building according to your needs. We can also provide you with a free sketch so that you can visualize your metal building better.

Partially Enclosed Carport

Posted on January 16, 2018 by - Carports, Standard

Exposing our belongings to harsh weather decreases their durability—and even if we live in areas where the weather is calm, the sun can be damaging as well. When it comes to vehicles, it’s important to remember that they need to remain in the shade; the sun itself can dry and crack your dash, not to mention the fact that direct exposure can double the temperatures inside and crack leather seats. That’s when Carport Kingdom comes to the rescue. With our affordable metal buildings, we can provide you with a strong and effective metal shed for parking your vehicles or storing your belongings.

We offer a variety of buildings to choose from, but if all you need is a metal carport for your vehicle, then we can definitely help you. Our metal buildings come in various sizes, and knowing exactly what you want is key when purchasing a structure.

ALL of our metal buildings start with a standard or regular roof. The standard roof is a common choice, as its simple design is familiar and looks good with most properties. It’s also our most affordable option; take a look at this 30’W x 36’L x 12’H structure as an example:

[layerslider id=”17″]
This metal building is wide enough to be used in numerous ways. Also, remember that the colors can always be changed. This customer decided to go all green.

Give us a call! The metal building of your dreams might be just one call away! And don’t forget to visit our carports section for different designs and ideas—or click here.

Customized Steel Storage Buildings

Posted on January 9, 2018 by - Blog, Questions

Looking for an agricultural building? Why not start the year with a brand new one?

 

It’s a new year and it’s a good idea to be prepared for the next storm while we still have time. We never know for sure what kind of winter or summer we’ll be getting, so it’s best not to take any chances before the severe weather comes.

 

Everyone deserves a roof over their head, and your vehicles, farm equipment, livestock, and valuables need one too. So why would you keep them unprotected and exposed? Or why would you pay to store your own belongings when you can purchase your own metal building to secure them?

 

Take a look at this metal ag building:

 

 

Center Unit: 12’W x 41’L x 12’H

• A-Frame Vertical Roof

• 12-Gauge Galvanized Tubing

• 10’ x 10’ Roll-Up Door (front end)

 

Lean-Tos: 24’W x 41’L x 10’/8’L
• A-Frame Vertical Roof
• Three 9’ x 7’ Roll-Up Doors (two on the front end and one on the back end)
• 2 Windows (one on each side)
• 36” x 80” Walk-In Door (on the side)
• 12-Gauge Galvanized Tubing

 

 

The barn-red color makes it stand out from its surroundings. With twelve colors to choose from at no extra cost, you can add a personal touch to your metal building. This customer decided to have the whole ag building in the same color. But remember, we can customize any building according to your needs.

 

Do you have an idea for your next ag building? Give us a call! Let one of our sales representatives help with the process. Don’t forget to ask about our financing options. Want to see your buildings in person? If you live close to Colusa, you’re more than welcome to visit our buildings in person and talk to our sales representatives! Otherwise, you can always ask for a local dealer!
