Give Your Vehicle the Shade It Needs

Posted on April 3, 2018 by - Questions

Even the simplest metal carport can be customized according to your needs. At American Steel Carports, we don’t have limits when it comes to making the right metal carport for you!

 

Summer is slowly getting closer, which means that temperatures will rise and our belongings will need additional protection from the sun’s rays—especially our vehicles. The sun can do serious damage to our vehicles, so why not protect them?

 

Whether you’re looking for a simple standard carport (roof only), a carport with sides, or one that is partially enclosed, American Steel Carports is there to make it as customized as you want. Some of our customers opt to have sides that go halfway down the leg height or even a single full side and a half side like this 18’W x 36’L x 12’H metal carport:

 

 

This metal carport has a horizontal roof (boxed eave), a full side, a 4.5’ side, and mobile home anchors.

 

Note: We offer a 90-mph wind warranty when you purchase all anchors needed.

 

The metal carport that you’ve always been wanting can be just one call away! Give us a call and ask to speak with one of our sales representatives for a free quote! Don’t forget to ask about our financing options. Want to see our buildings in person? Ask for your local dealer!

Don’t Forget Your Second Home!

Posted on March 9, 2018 by - Blog

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.

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.

 

Do you have an idea for your next ag building? Give us a call! Let one of our sales representatives help with the process. Don’t forget to ask about our financing options. Want to see your buildings in person? If you live close to Colusa, you’re more than welcome to visit our buildings in person and talk to our sales representatives! Otherwise, you can always ask for a local dealer!

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.

Choosing the Right Company For Your Carport Needs

Posted on April 29, 2016 by - Blog, Questions

As consumers, we search for practically everything online before we purchase it. From clothes to cars, the online retail market is booming. Most of the time, buying products online is way less expensive because online retailers don’t have to worry about the fees and additional costs associated with operating a brick and mortar location. Usually, this means the savings are passed on to online shoppers. This is especially true when buying a carport online. When it comes to making those larger purchases online, it is best for you to do as much research as you can. When buying your carport, you need to think about not only the price, delivery, and installation, but also who is manufacturing your unit.

A lot of the online retailers of steel carport units you see online are just that, sellers. This means that they receive their inventory from a carport manufacturer. The reseller then sells the units for a fee, however. The job of the manufacturer is usually making the unit as well as delivering and installing it at your home. Because of this, it is just as important to find out who the manufacturer of your metal carport is as it is to research the reseller.

If you are in the process of buying a carport or storage unit,  here are few ways you can ensure you choose the right carport manufacturer.

Number #1: Ask Your Sales Person Questions

When you are searching online for a steel carport or metal storage unit, you may sometimes see that the manufacturer is listed. However,  this is not always the case. When this happens, it is your right as a potential buyer to ask questions.

With carport dealers, the salesperson’s main objective is to sell. So sometimes, the only way for you to get valuable information is by asking the right questions; “Who manufactures your carports”, “Where will the carport I purchase come from?” If they divulge the manufacturers name, we recommend you go on to look up the company’s reviews.

Number #2: Read Online Reviews

If you shop online for something and don’t read a review first, you’re doing yourself an injustice. Online reviews allow you to read and make judgments based on previous customer’s experience. This works in your favor if you are thinking about buying a carport online. Usually, after reading just a few you will be able to figure out whether the company you are considering buying from is reputable or not. When searching online, it’s usually hard to tell whether a carport is truly high-quality. By reading the online reviews prior to purchasing you can get opinions from an unbiased party.

Of course, no company is perfect. There will be some complaints or bad reviews because every experience is subjective. However, if you see that reseller or manufacturer has more negatives than positives, it may be wise to reconsider using that company.

Number #3: Compare, Compare, Compare

The great thing about researching for a carport unit is having each product, pricing, customer reviews, and more at your fingertips. With this information, you are better equipped to make the best decision. In fact, we encourage you to compare each manufacturer to one another. Pay attention and compare every aspect from the reviews down to their installation process.

Carports from A Trusted Manufacturer

In closing, it’s important to take the time to educate yourself on the manufacturer that your carport from. American Steel Carports is proud to be a leading carport and steel building manufacturer in the nation. We specialize in selling and building durable storage buildings, no matter the size, shape or use. We are also committed to giving our customers the best quality carport at an affordable price without sacrificing customer service.
