Today, there is a rising demand for self-storage in the United States and across the world. That means there’s never been a better time to jump into the mini-storage game. Steel building structures give you a leg up. They provide customers with a secure place to keep their belongings. Additionally, they protect them from the elements as well as damage from other sources. You can also install many affordable extras to ensure you’ll be protecting your clients’ belongings even better protected over the years. Read on for a full list of the ways steel buildings make for super safe mini-storage.
1. Secure Materials Protect from the Elements
Metal and steel building structures are excellent at keeping out the elements, including rain, snow, ice, sleet and other weather events, even with high winds. They also are secure, without cracks or holes, to ensure that the sun stays off of items that would otherwise bleach or dry out. Steel construction is very secure, so won’t give into the elements over time, nor is it susceptible to pests.
2. Durable Structure Reduces Chance of Disaster
Constructing beams and structural supports from such a strong material as steel means they are unlikely to come crashing down in the case of an earthquake or other unexpected natural disaster. Thus even in the face of catastrophe, your customers’ belongings will stay safe and secure, protecting their investments … and yours!
3. Steel Building Structures Are Very Difficult to Break Into
Unfortunately, mini-storage units do tend to attract unsavory types. Because customers often store valuable objects there (such as classic cars, vintage furniture and even expensive furs), they can become targets for thieves and vandals. Luckily steel building structures are very difficult to break into, so it is unlikely that a thief would have much success.
4. Security Protects Individual Belongings from Other Customers
You can choose to place the entrances to each storage unit on the inside or outside of your building. Either way, you can set security measures that prevent customers from entering one another’s storage units. Furthermore, since each unit is securely constructed separately from all the rest, there is no way to go from one to another.
5. Climate Control Reduces Mildew and Mold
Finally, if you like, you can add climate control to your mini-storage units. This offers a further layer of protection to customers and their belongings. Controlled climate prevents possessions from overheating in the summer (which can damage electronics, vinyl, clothing and more) and becoming damp in the winter, which leads to mildew, mold and rot.
