Single, Double, or Triple

Buying a carport can be as easy as counting one, two, three, or like we would say here at American Carports, single, double, or triple. Deciding on the best option that will fit your needs can sometimes be difficult, with American Steel Carports you shouldn’t have to struggle, we have professionals that can assist you through the whole process, from start to finish. Picking the right carport is perhaps the most important decision you will make in the entire buying process.

The first thing you need to decide when buying a metal carport is how the carport will be used. Consider how much space you’ll need to properly protect your belongings from all the different weather conditions the world can throw your way. It’s always better to have extra space rather than not enough. Also, it’s good to be sure to think about the future, maybe you plan to acquire additional vehicles that may need some extra storage.

Single Carports – Single carports range from 12 feet wide and are ideal for most single vehicles. A factor you might want to put in mind is height, our standard height is 6 feet which might be just enough for some cars. However, if you’re planning to use a single carport to store a larger vehicle like an SUV, trailer, RV, or even a motorhome, you may want to go up a size as it may be difficult to maneuver a large vehicle into a tight space.

Double Carports – Double carports range anywhere from 18 to 24 feet wide. Of course, a two-car carport is for storing two cars or a larger recreational vehicle or boat. As many vehicles might differ in size, it’s always best to make sure you measure the vehicle to be sure when getting your carport. After all it’s going to be way cheaper getting it right the first time.

Triple Carports – Triple carports generally range from 26 to 30 feet wide and provide just enough space for storing up to three vehicles. When you work with American Steel Carports, you can certainly opt for structures even bigger than that if you’d like more space!

 

It might seem complicated or even stressful, but here at American Steel we’ve made it easy for all our customers. You can use our online Build & Price Tool, you will be able to adjust the dimensions of your desired building, select your preferred add-ons, view a 3-D rendering of your creation, and get an instant quote right there and then.

Metal Garage + Lean To

What is a Lean-to?

Were you looking for a building that can not only meet your carport needs but also can be used as a garage. This sort of structure has it’s own genuine name because of the fact that it is one of our clients top choices. The name of this type of building is a Lean-to building. A Lean-to can be described as a structure that slopes off to one direction. It has a fully enclosed part from the building and an open area. It provides you with the best of both worlds between a carport and a garage. Another more affordable choice is a utility, but their is a difference between these two. The difference between a Lean-to and a utility is how they are priced. The utility carport is priced as one building while a Lean-to building is charged as two separate units. They are very identical but the preference is yours!

As much as these buildings  seem to be customized, you can always add walls to enclose some of the other sides, change the color, make it taller, and change many more features to make it the building YOU want. Not only are they built your way but they are also built to fit your needs. These buildings can serve numerous of your purposes, starting from just protecting your car as to making it a party room or even a local for your business.

The size of this building can definitely accommodate to almost anything you can think of, and the open space is open for any possibility. To top it off ! Keep in mind that all our buildings are engineer-certified and guaranteed to stand strong against according to your specified weather.

Making a decision

Durability is dependably a worry when buying another structure, particularly when you’re investing in it. Our buildings are reliant, dependent, and durable. Here at American Carports, we provide you with a engineer-proven galvanized steel tubing. When your buying another structure, we have two alternatives of material. We have the 12-gauge and 14-gauge tubing. The 14-gauge is the more reasonable material for areas that don’t have substantial snow or exceptionally high breezes. It is our standard material that includes a 1-year workmanship warranty. The 12-gauge tubing is our more sturdy and thicker material for more severe weather conditions. The 12-gauge material may be increasingly costly, yet we need to ensure that the structure you’re buying can stand for a more extended time. It also comes with a 20-year rust warranty. The 12 gauge gives you the highest quality coverage at a great price!

This is a 30’W x 41’L x 12’H 14-gauge unit with a standard roof, two horizontal sides and one horizontal end. It’s a standard building purchased for the essential necessities. All of our carports are provided with the needed material to cover protection from the sun, rain, and hail.

Partially Enclosed Standard Carport

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 American Carports 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.
