9 Reasons Why You Should Get An Agricultural Metal Barn

Posted on July 12, 2018 by - Blog, News/Press, Questions

Are you a farmer? Perhaps you’re an avid hunter? Or maybe an animal lover?

 

When you decide on purchasing a metal carport you are setting yourself up with many opportunities. Whether you need extra space for your animals and tools, a steel agricultural building is the way to go.

 

   • Live out in the country? Our agricultural barns are composed of 3 sections. Each compartment can be used to separate livestock from tools and feed all within one spacious unit. Choose from our Standard, A-Frame Vertical, A-Frame Horizontal, and Hexagon styles.

 

   • Maybe you live in the suburbs, and need that extra storage. With an agricultural building you can store your recreational vehicle, fishing boat, gator, or four-wheeler.

 

   • Because most steel structures are prefabricated, you save time and money. Orders are manufactured at our factory where they are then delivered and installed on-site within a matter of hours. Most importantly, pre-fabricated units can withstand a high degree of strength regarding animal kicks.

 

   • Steel is also easy to work with, giving you the liberty to choose what size and shape you desire with no limits as with wood. You can add horse stalls, shelves, kitchen counters, or sinks to make your unit more resourceful.

 

   • Quality is another aspect that makes steel the best choice for agricultural buildings. Steel carports are effective as the manufacturer it came from. The average lifespan depends on the quality of the parts a company uses for their units.

 

   • Your livestock, tools, and crops will be protected against nature’s unpredictable weather. A sturdy well-made carport will last an average of 25-30 years.

 

   • There’s more than what meets the eye. Steel carports, in general, are energy efficient. This means you won’t have to worry nor waste money on electric garage openers, excessive lighting, and other utilities. Steel units are well ventilated and provide shade for your equipment and livestock, and hunting gear. Your livestock can rest with the adequate ventilation.

 

   • With an agricultural metal barn, you can have a peace of mind knowing you are using the most recyclable material in the world. You can always sell your steel for scrap when it is no longer useful to you.

 

   • Maybe you want skylights instead of electric lights, or need an extra window – these metal barns can be customized to fit your necessities. We also offer hexagon buildings and loafing sheds apart from our agricultural metal barns.

 

With our Engineer Certified barns, you acquire units strong enough to withstand vicious winds, heavy snow loads, hail, and other elements. We offer high quality products for a great price with many different warranty packages to choose from. Furthermore, you can supplement additional accessories to reinforce your product. Options include  90+ mph wind warranty, solar air vents, and colored screws.

 

Walking down the gravel road that leads straight to your Barn Red and White-trimmed carport, you begin to hear the restlessness of your pets as they await your presence. A fresh passing of air replaces the beating heat as you enter the spacious barn. Scents of freshly-cut hay and feed mixes with the sweet scent of your horse’s apple wafers as you rip open the bag. You look up and see sun beams gleaming through the barn’s skylights down onto the hazy environment.

 

 

We have been in business for over 15 years and we proudly stand behind the fact that our buildings are strong, versatile, and built to last.  Contact us today for a free quote.

Agricultural Barn

Posted on July 2, 2018 by - ACI, Blog, Customer Builds

Metal agricultural buildings offer great protection for farm equipment and even livestock, but these traditional units are not only for farm use. In fact, many of our customers opt to construct a metal agricultural barn for their vehicles. Since these lean-tos can be open or closed, there’s always the advantage of enclosing your lean-to and transforming it into a little storage room.

 

Here is a good example of a metal agricultural building being used alternatively than the traditional farm use:

 

18’W x 31’L x 12’H (Main Unit)

  • A-Frame Horizontal Roof
  • 2 – 10′ x 10′ Roll-Up Doors (one on each end)

 

12’W x 31’L x 10’/8’H (Lean-To’s)

  • A-Frame Horizontal Roof
  • Double Walk-in Door (right lean-to)
  • 9′ x 7′ Roll-Up Door (left lean-to)
  • Concrete Anchors (90-MPH Wind Warranty)

 

 

Please note that American Carports does not offer any type of concrete work and your surface must be level in order to get the unit installed.

 

This metal unit is fully enclosed with our double walk-in doors and our A-frame horizontal roof (boxed eave), which give it a unique look.

 

You can order yours, too! Give us a call and let one of our sales representatives help you customize your metal agricultural barn today. With the variety of options we offer, there’s so much to choose from. Don’t forget to ask about our financing options.

2018 Colusa County Fair Parade

Posted on June 12, 2018 by - ACI, Blog, Events, News/Press

Summer break in California is nothing short of amusing. This weekend, we joined the fun at the Colusa County Fair Parade. We serve most of the state but engaging with our local community is an important value we strive for. So, for the last couple of years we’ve participated at the annual parade. Onesimo, the manager, led the team to yet another successful event. The float design this year was inspired by our agricultural building product line. Who would have ever guessed to see a floating ag barn?! What a creative way to protect yourselves from the summer heat! To cool off the crowd, Daniela, our customer service representative and the team decided to amp up the fun. They filled three barrels of water balloons and had water guns on deck to soak up the Colusa community. No one on that float was dry by the end of the parade. The kids weren’t the only ones who loved it! Iriana, our new team member, experienced the parade for the first time and expressed that she really enjoyed handing items out to people and getting them wet because it felt like she was reliving her childhood again. To top it off, the Colusa community scored free water bottles, caps, frisbees, loads of candy, and key chains on behalf of American Carports. If you saw us there, make sure to stop by our shop and say hello once again! Thank you so much to everyone who engaged with us. It’s an honor to be a part of the Colusa family. Looking forward to next year!

 

Custom Metal Building w/ Lean-To

Posted on May 7, 2018 by - Blog

Wouldn’t it be great if metal buildings, such as garages, workshops, or even barns, were built in a more residential style? American Carports has taken its buildings to the next level. We want to make sure that we meet all your expectations and provide you with high-quality products, most importantly with certified buildings that will last for years.

 

Many of our customers add lean-tos to their structures, and the way they use them varies with their specific needs. This 30’W x 61’L x 12’H metal structure built in 12-gauge is a perfect example of how our buildings can be adapted to a residential style. It also uses our new deluxe windows and has the A-frame vertical roof style on both the structure itself and the lean-to.

 

• 2 – 10’x8 Roll-Up Doors (front and back)

• 6 – Windows

• Walk-In Door (on the side)

• 12’W x 61’L x 11’/8’H Lean-To

• A-Frame Vertical Roof

• 2 –  Gable End

 

Disclaimer: Additional material might be required to meet local codes. Therefore, the inside design and pricing may vary by state. Prices are subject to change at any time without notice. Please contact our sales department for our latest prices*

 

A-Frame Vertical Roofs allow for easy maintenance because the panels are all siding, from the peak to the eaves. They let water, snow, and dirt run off easily.

 

Impressive, isn’t it? And we can change the building’s dimensions to suit your needs. This is just a small preview of what we can offer you. Remember, it’s your ideas that make the difference with your metal buildings. And with thirteen (13) colors to choose from, you can add your own personal touch.

Compact Design for Your Needs

Posted on May 2, 2018 by - Blog

Looking to protect your belongings? How about maximizing your space for an affordable price? Not looking for something that big? This 24’ wide by 21’ long by 11’/7’ high unit with an A-frame horizontal roof (boxed eave), a 9’ x 7’ roll-up door, two (2) walk-in doors, six (6) windows, and concrete anchors would fit your needs nicely. Remember, all of our units can be customized to match what you want.

 

The terms “agriculture” and “barn” can be misleading: this agricultural building can be used for many different scenarios. This kind of unit is designed to be used as a barn or to protect your livestock, but that doesn’t mean that it cannot be used as a garage or even as a storage room.

 

Want to order yours today? Give us a call and ask to speak with one of our sales representatives for more information and pricing. We build nothing but engineer-certified structures to ensure the quality that American Carports offers. Don’t forget to ask about our financing options!

Get Something that can do Both!

Posted on February 8, 2018 by - ACI, Blog, Customer Builds, Product Reviews

We’re already in February, and time is definitely going fast. Next thing you know, we’ll be hitting Spring Break and might not even notice the time passing! So why wait for the summer to get your metal barn, when you can place your order now and have your building ready by then?

 

Agricultural barns are becoming the thing this year, but it might be a surprise to learn that this kind of metal barn can be used for either farm purposes or as a garage/storage area. Aside from the traditional barn use, there are customers who really like the design and prefer to use this barn as a garage. The fact that this metal unit comes in three sections gives them the option to choose if they want to enclose the lean-tos (wings) or even the center unit.

 

This is a perfect example of an ag barn used as a garage:

 

• 24’W x 31’L x 12’H (center unit)
• A-Frame Horizontal
• 2 – Horizontal Gable Ends
• Horizontal Sides (both sides on the center unit)

 

• 12’W x 31’L x 11’/9’H (Lean-tos)
• A-Frame Horizontal Roof
• Horizontal Sides (outer sides)
• Horizontal Ends (all ends on lean-tos)
• 2 – 36″x80″ Walk-In Doors (on the sides of the center unit)
• 2 – 10’x8′ Roll-Up Doors (front of each lean-to)

 

This customer decided not to enclose the center unit, instead parking their vehicles and enclosing the lean-tos to store their belongings. The design might be simple, but it’s strong enough to last for many years.

 

Remember that you can come up with your own metal barn designs; these are just live examples of our customers’ creations that might help you envision your own ideas for the metal building of your dreams.

 

Give us a call and ask to speak with one of our sales representatives to help you get started with your metal barn. With 12 different colors to choose from, you can add your own personal touch. Don’t forget to ask about our financing options. Want to see our buildings in person? Ask for your local dealer.
