Commercial storage is a booming business for those who have property and are looking to invest. Once established, storage businesses are low cost, little maintenance, and can function independently with security cameras and remote access.
In establishing a commercial storage business, you need options that support the variety of storage items, quality materials that won’t run your funds dry, and quick turnaround so you can start cashing in on your investment.
Post frame holds the solution!
With post frame building, you can design a structure specifically curated for the items you would like to store, using less materials than most other framing options, and erected in a fraction of the time.
Some building options you may want in your storage business:
Open-sided – One of the most versatile options. These buildings vary in shape, size, and height. They offer convenience and flexibility in entry into the building. If storage for large vehicles and equiptment is your main priority, open sided buildings are a great option since you won’t have to open/close doors to move your machinery in and out while still protecting them from the elements.
Siding – Post frame buildings are most commonly steel sided, which allows an array of colors and textures to choose from. Some steel siding options are manufactured to look like barnwood or shiplap, which can add a rustic appeal to your business brand.
Multi-unit – A multi-unit storage building is most commonly a big rectangle with a roof over top, and rows of roll-up doors. You can consider both aesthetic and functional options in the design phase. The interior will have to finished out with walls to create individual units. You can choose a exterior siding color that fits your brand. The pitch of the roof itself can be altered, as can the style and shape of the roll-up doors.
Climate-controlled – Enclosed storage buildings can be climate controlled, or simply insulated to be energy-efficient year-round.
Drive-through – For large vehicle storage, like campers, RV’s, and semi trucks, a convenient storage option is a drive-through building, which has an opening on both sides of the building, taking the stress out of backing into a tight space. You can choose open-sided or enclosed with roll-up doors.
