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.

 

Give us a call! Let one of our experts help you customize your unit. Don’t forget to ask about our financing program. Stay in touch with our work by checking our blog for new buildings, designs, ideas, and more.

Don’t Forget Your Second Home!

Why pay to store your RV when you can get your own RV cover?

 

RVs requires attention and care if you want to take exciting family vacations in them. They don’t only provide shelter, they also provide comfort. That’s why it’s important to protect your RV from the environment, especially from the burning heat.

 

Many people pay to store their RVs in the summer to keep them in the shade. That’s a pretty good way to protect your RV, but wouldn’t it be simpler to have your own RV cover at your own house? That’s where American Carports can save the day!

 

Our experts can help you customize a metal cover to protect your RV from inclement weather. Although our pricing flyers only 12-foot high covers, that doesn’t mean we can’t go taller. We know that some RVs need more than 12 feet of clearance, and our experts can help you price and design one for your own RV.

 

Take this 20’W × 46’L × 12’H as an example:

 

 

This metal RV cover has 3-foot sides and a standard roof. But if you live in an area where snow is a concern, a vertical roof will be your best choice.

 

If you’re not sure what type or style of roof you need, just give us a call! One of our sales representatives will take care of you by providing a free quote and a sketch if you need one. Make sure to check with your local building department to certify your metal RV cover according to your local codes.

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.

Give us a call! The metal building of your dreams might be just one call away! And don’t forget to visit our carports section for different designs and ideas—or click here.

Customized Steel Storage Buildings

Posted on January 9, 2018 by - Blog, Questions

Looking for an agricultural building? Why not start the year with a brand new one?

 

It’s a new year and it’s a good idea to be prepared for the next storm while we still have time. We never know for sure what kind of winter or summer we’ll be getting, so it’s best not to take any chances before the severe weather comes.

 

Everyone deserves a roof over their head, and your vehicles, farm equipment, livestock, and valuables need one too. So why would you keep them unprotected and exposed? Or why would you pay to store your own belongings when you can purchase your own metal building to secure them?

 

Take a look at this metal ag building:

 

 

Center Unit: 12’W x 41’L x 12’H

• A-Frame Vertical Roof

• 12-Gauge Galvanized Tubing

• 10’ x 10’ Roll-Up Door (front end)

 

Lean-Tos: 24’W x 41’L x 10’/8’L
• A-Frame Vertical Roof
• Three 9’ x 7’ Roll-Up Doors (two on the front end and one on the back end)
• 2 Windows (one on each side)
• 36” x 80” Walk-In Door (on the side)
• 12-Gauge Galvanized Tubing

 

 

The barn-red color makes it stand out from its surroundings. With twelve colors to choose from at no extra cost, you can add a personal touch to your metal building. This customer decided to have the whole ag building in the same color. But remember, we can customize any building according to your needs.
