Self Storage / Mini Warehouse Buildings

Self Storage steel buildings are a great way to provide revenue with an affordable initial cost. If you have the land available, you can start small and scale up as you add customers. You can configure the storage units to fit your site and your customers needs from small walk in units to spaces big enough to fit a car or a whole house of furnishings. Researching your local demographics is a great way to discover useful information to allow you to configure unit sizes that best fit your community.

Constructing your Self Storage Building

"Can you really put up a self-storage building with a small crew and ladders" is a question we often get. The answer is Yes, you can. The question is really more of do you have the time to spend getting everything done which is where hiring a crew to erect for you is an important decision to make. A general contractor or steel construction crew that erects steel self-storage buildings move very quickly and can have your building up in a fraction of the time just due to experience. It's worth a look to see if the time saved is worth the expense.

This illustration shows a 30x100 (3,000 square foot) self-storage building with a gable roof. Often, the lot layout can dictate the exterior design to allow for access around the entire building to help facilitate the unit mix. In this case the unit mix is 10-10x15 units, 5-10x10 units and 5-10x20 units.

30x100 Gable With End Units

Another option for this 30x100 (3,000 square feet) would be to have end units that are only 5' wide for customers that only need a limited amount of space increasing your storage solution options. In this case, the end units are 5x10, but could be made smaller as a 5x5 as well opening up additional room for a few more larger units.

Other considerations for your Self-Storage Industry business

Site work

Depending on the elevations of your site and the layout of your buildings, site work may consist of some very simple grading, or could require a fair amount of dirt work to flatten and grade for access as well as water run off.  We can provide steps in the buildings to account for slope and elevation changes to help reduce the need to move a lot of dirt.

Concrete Pads

Your building needs a firm footing and pad for the structures to sit on. This gives you a good base for not only the building but for your customers as well. The industry standards design utilizes a notch slab for the panels to sit in as well as a drop for the roll-up doors and mullions. Foundation plans are optional and can be provided if needed.

Fencing / Security

Is this day and age, many customers look to find a facility that provides security for their stored items.  Many times this includes adequate fencing around the property along with security measure so that only tenants are allowed on the property.  Lighting should be appropriate for all the property leaving no dark areas.  Another consideration is a CCTV system with enough storage for several days worth of activity.   That way, if something does go missing, you might have the ability to view who all entered or left your property.

Business System

There are many options available in the market place for self-storage solutions. From simple accounting to hands off access control and marketing, you should be able to find a solution that fits your needs. Whatever that looks like, it should be an ongoing expenditure in any business owners business plan.

Hours of operation

Another factor in your overall business plan should be your hours of operation.  With the options for automated access, many facilities opt for a 24 hour service.   Your local municipality may have restrictions so be sure to check with them before setting the hours for access.  If your facility is staffed, that may be the limiting factor for your hours of operation.
