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.

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:

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.

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!

Simple, but Strong

Posted on December 2, 2016 by - Blog, Questions

American Steel offers simple, strong, and resistant designs to house your RV or vehicles.

 

At American Steel Carports, we certify our buildings to ensure that they are built with the most durable material. Of the many designs that we offer to meet your needs and expectations, we always try to provide the simplest designs at an affordable price. Many of our prices may vary in different states because we need to meet the state codes for our buildings to be certified.

 

Take a look at this design from one of our customers in Lakeside, Arizona. The design is very simple, since the structure only came with sides and an A-frame vertical roof.

 

• 30’W x 40’L x 12’H

• A-Frame Vertical Roof

• 12-Gauge

• Horizontal Sides

• Mobile Home Anchors

 

 

 

*interior design may vary by state or region.

 

The structure is constructed with 12-gauge galvanized tubing, which comes with a 20-year warranty on framing rust-through assuming normal care and maintenance. The unit also comes with a 90 MPH wind warranty when you purchase all anchors needed.

 

Keep in mind that we can install your unit anywhere you want as long as your land is leveled. It is the customer’s responsibility to let us know where the unit is going to be installed and which direction it will face.

 

All of our buildings are engineer-certified. With the many designs and options available for you to choose from, there are no limits.

What Are My Steel Roof Options?

Posted on August 26, 2016 by - Blog, Questions

Are you considering a steel garage or steel carport? If so, the first thing you will need to think about is how you will be using your unit. The next step, figure out what roof option you need.

 

The roof of your steel unit is very important as it will be what protects your belongings. Your steel roof choice can also depict the look of your steel unit, too.

 

At American Steel, we have two roofing options available to choose from.  

 

A-Frame Vertical Steel Roof

The A-frame vertical roof design is quite popular amongst customers because it is not only sturdy but also cost effective. With this type of roof, the roof sheeting runs vertically in length helping snow and other elements slide off easily.

 

A-Frame Horizontal Steel Roof

Although the A-Frame horizontal roof design looks very similar to the vertical design, the sheets are instead placed horizontally. The A-frame shape still helps the horizontal roof disperse snow fairly well. However, A-frame horizontal roofs are more commonly seen in places that don’t get very much snow.

 

Other Additional Steel Carport Features Available

Along with your roof style, you have other features that will help make your steel unit truly yours.

 

Extra Trusses

If you are someone that lives in a place that sees heavy snowfall, it is wise to think about adding extra trusses. The trusses help create an even sturdier support for your metal roof.

 

Larger Braces

Just as trusses help make your roof stronger, larger braces help increase the strength of the actual steel structure.

 

45 degree Angles

To give your steel unit a unique look, 45-degree angles sheeting can be installed on the front corners of any A-frame unit design.

 

Solar Vents

If you plan on using your unit as a workplace, you may choose to have solar air vents installed. Made with high-quality roofing material, the solar vents will allow air to flow inside of your steel unit making it a great place to work. It is important to know that these 5-watt high-efficiency panels can only be installed on A-frame vertical design.

 

Skylights

Skylights look amazing when added to a steel unit. They are available in different sizes and colors but are also only installed on vertical roofs.
