Live in the North? You’d better watch out for the Snow!

Posted on October 24, 2018 by - A-Frame Vertical, ACI, Blog, Custom, Informative, Lifestyle, Steel Structures

Vertical siding buildings are the most recommended when it comes to states that get a considerable amount of snow. The vertical roof allows natural elements like snow, water, dirt, leaves, and dust to slide off easily without the need for constant maintenance, unlike other roof styles. And if the vertical roof can give you all that, imagine having vertical sides! It would definitely make your metal garage maintenance-free!

Another cool feature that we offer is our overhead doors. These doors create more of a residential look, and they can actually be connected to a garage opener. Please be aware that American Carports does not offer that type of service: we would only provide the installation of your metal building and the overhead door.

This 18’W x 26’L x 10’H metal garage is a perfect example of a fully vertical (a.k.a., maintenance-free) building:

  • 16’x7′ Overhead door
  • 4 – 30″x30″ Windows (2 on the back end, 2 on the side)
  • 36″x80″ Walk-In Door (on the side)

There are many ways to customize your metal garage! Before making a purchase, though, it’s recommended that all of our customers talk with their local building departments to get the necessary permits. Remember that not all states and counties are the same: some might require additional plans or calculations, while others would take the generic plans. Also, know that our generic plans come free when you place your order with us.

Give us a call and let one of our experts help you build that garage of your dreams! Does your area have a higher snow load? Let our experts know, and we’ll work with your requirements until we meet them. Want to see our buildings in person? Call us and ask for your local dealer! And don’t forget to ask about our financing options.

You Can Get Yours Too!

It’s time to get that metal building you’ve been wanting! With the lowest price in the market, American Carports is your best choice.

We specialize in garages, workshops, mini storages, carports, and custom metal buildings – and with over 20 years of experience, we know exactly how to deliver a pleasant experience when it comes to installation. Remember that delivery and installation are included in the price; also, please be aware that we do not offer concrete services and that the surface where the unit will be installed needs to be level.

Take a look at this 24’W x 31’L x 9’H metal building:

This metal building has a horizontal roof (or also called “boxed eave”), which combines style and protection for your belongings. When your building overpasses 31’ in length, it’s highly recommended that you opt for a vertical roof instead in order to avoid future leaks. Since this building is only 31’ long, however, the horizontal roof isn’t a problem. This building also comes with a 10’ x 8’ roll-up door on the side and a 36” x 80” walk-in door.

In addition to our residential style roof, you can choose between 13 colors to add your personal touch. Whether your metal building will be installed next to your house or on a different property, we always let you choose the perfect combination.

 

Did you know that you can upgrade to 12-gauge?

Most of our customers get our 12-gauge tubing, since it’s the strongest one we offer (a.k.a., heavy duty). Aside from being the strongest, our 12-gauge also includes a 20-year limited warranty on rust-through of the framing.

Looking for a similar design? Give us a call and speak with one of our experts! We’ll help you customize your metal building according to your needs. And don’t forget to ask about our financing options!

Plenty of Space for Your Toys!

Posted on September 26, 2018 by - ACI, Blog, Garage, Steel Structures

There’s still plenty of time to get your metal garage before winter gets in the way! As you know, it’s very important to keep our valuables and vehicles under a roof. If you want them to last a long time, they need to be protected from any natural elements and harsh weather conditions.

The key to our metal buildings is that we will customize and transform them according to your needs and preferences; not to mention that ALL our buildings are engineer-certified!

Although American Carports does not offer any concrete work, furthermore, we will provide concrete anchors to secure your structure—not to mention that you can get our 90-mph wind warranty when you purchase all the anchors needed. Take this 24’W x 51’L x 9’H metal garage as an example:

  • A-Frame Vertical Roof
  • Horizontal Sides & Ends
  • 2 – Walk-in Doors (diamond window)
  • 4 – 30″x30″ Windows (2 on each end)
  • 4 – 10’x8′ Roll-Up Doors (on the side)

This metal garage has a vertical roof, one of the best roof styles we offer. Besides its pleasant-looking residential style, it allows natural elements such as snow, dirt, water, and leaves to slide off very easily. Also, once a metal building exceeds 30’ in length, we recommend choosing a vertical roof to eliminate the possibility of leaks in the future. Another important fact, is having your roll-up doors on the side can give you plenty of advantages when it comes to this type of building, since it’s cheaper to grow in length than in width.

Your metal garage is just one call away! Ask to speak with one of our sales representatives who will help customize your metal building according to your needs. Also, don’t forget to ask about our financing options. Want to see our buildings in person? Ask for your local dealer!

Need a Metal Garage?

Posted on September 24, 2018 by - ACI, Blog, Garage, Steel Structures

There is still time for you to place your order before the busy season starts! As you know, there are places where summer can have the perfect weather, a nice breeze, and clear skies without being humid or terribly hot. However, there are certain areas where summer can feel suffocating because of the intense heat. If we suffer from the blazing sun, imagine what our vehicles go through when they’re parked outside our homes, receiving all that heat with no protection whatsoever every day.

Parking your vehicle where it is exposed to direct sunlight can be very damaging, as you may know. The intense temperatures in the summer can damage your dashboard and seats as well as your vehicle’s finish and engine. That’s why it’s better to prepare for this summer while there’s still time to order your metal garage. Take this 24’W x 26’L x 9’H metal garage as an example:

  • Vertical Roof
  • Horizontal Sides & Ends
  • 30″x30″ Window
  • 2 – 36″x80″ Walk-In Doors
  • 2 – 9’x7′ Roll-Up Doors

 

Parking your vehicle inside a garage to avoid direct sunlight is the easiest way to protect it. If it’s safe to do so, open the windows a crack in order to equalize and lower the air temperature and pressure inside. Remember that we can customize any metal unit per your needs and specifications.

We’re here to help you, so give us a call at 866-471-8761 to speak with one of our sales representatives! Want to see our buildings in person? Ask for your local dealer! And don’t forget to ask about our available financing options.

Need additional illumination for your metal garage/workshop? Have you considered adding skylights to your metal building?

As we all know, illumination is very important when it comes to metal buildings, especially fully enclosed ones.

Whether you have a small mini-storage building or a big metal barn, you would always have the option to add skylights. Also, please note that skylights can only be installed in vertical siding roofs.

Besides of the features we offer to customize your metal building, you can always customize its size. Remember, all of the blogs and pictures we post are live examples of our customers’ creations. You can base your own ideas on those, or, if you really like a building, you can always build yours to match it. And with 13 different colors to choose from at no additional cost, you can add your own personal touch.

Take this 30’W x 51’L x 12’H metal garage as an example:

  • A-Frame Vertical Roof
  • Horizontal Sides & Ends
  • 3 – 10×10 Roll-Up Doors (2 on the front end, one on the back end)
  • 2 – Walk-In Doors
  • 8 – 3×8 Skylights

Our customer decided to add 8 skylights for illumination in addition to the light from the 3 roll-up doors. This garage is also rocking our clay and pewter gray colors!
