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

Shed In The Woods

Posted on March 27, 2018 by - Blog

This metal garage gives you all the protection you need, from the sun to the rain. This amazing 30’ wide unit by 41’ long and 12’ high garage has plenty of space for all your needs. With our most popular and recommended A Frame Vertical Roof, horizontal siding but going vertical is always something you could choose. With the option of having your garage doors installed on the side of the building, we simply install headers. On this unit, 2 (two) 10×10 roll up doors are placed on the side. 1 (one) 9×7 roll up door on the end, 1 (one) 36×80 walk-in door, and 1 (one) 30×30 window. Also, concrete anchors are installed giving you our 90 MPH wind warranty with L-brackets!

 

 

What are headers and when are they necessary?

Headers are only used and required when doors are installed on the side of the unit. If you want garage doors placed on the length side of the unit instead of the gable end, we install headers for you. Headers are also used when you want an open building all around without any post getting in your way or when its being installed against something and need space openings, headers are there to save you.

 

 

 

What are L-brackets and why are they used?

The last thing you want is spending a good amount of money pouring your foundation and having the anchors break the edge of the concrete. L-Brackets are attached to the rail of the building giving us space to anchor down your unit without breaking any of the concrete!

 

 

 

Why is the vertical roof most popular and most recommended?

Going vertical on the roof gives you many advantages. From simply giving your building a more original look, vertical roofing will give you a better snow load capacity. The vertical roof allows natural elements like snow, water, dirt, leaves, and dust to slide off easily without the need for constant maintenance.

 

 

 

What are my options for colors and can choose more than one?

With plenty of color options (Black, Evergreen, Quaker Gray, Clay, Barn Red, Slate Blue, Pebble Beige, Earth Brown, Burgundy, Pewter Gray, Rawhide, White), you can go one color on the roof and another on the siding. We also offer a popular option called “Wainscoating”. Wainscoating will give you the last 3’ of your building a different color all around!

 

 

 

With plenty of more options to go with and styles to choose from, feel free to create your own building on this website and getting a better look of your future investment. We are here to build it, versatile, strong, built to last!

Garages! Garages! And More Garages!

Posted on March 2, 2018 by - Blog, Product Reviews

Customization is the key to success when it comes to metal buildings. With many ideas and designs to choose from, we let our customer decide and create their own.

 

Whether your surface is gravel, regular ground, or concrete, we advise a level site for a firm, steady building. Our installers may not install your building if it can’t be anchored to the ground—they won’t leave you with an insecure installation.

 

We urge you to consider purchasing our anchors. When you purchase all the anchors needed to secure your building, you get a warranty covering dislocation from wind of up to 90-mph! You don’t have to purchase our anchors and get this warranty, but consider the risks.

 

Whether you choose a metal garage or a simple carport, you should strongly consider our anchors to avoid disastrous situations. With our anchors, your garage will stand strong against extreme weather.

 

Speaking of garages, take a look at this 24’W x 41’L x 9’H:

 

 • A-Frame Horizontal Roof

 • 2 – 10 x 8 Roll-Up Door

 • 36″ x 80″ Walk-In Door

•  Window

 

 

Our A-Frame Horizontal roof gives our metal garages a unique residential style. The roof might look simple, but it’s strong enough to last for many years. Our buildings are designed to exceed your needs and comply with state codes. If you’re not sure what kind of building is ideal for you, don’t hesitate to call us. Our sales reps are happy to assist you with any questions or concerns.

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.

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 give us a call and ask to speak with a sales representative, our experts will help you build the metal barn of your dreams.
