We design our external self-storage units to help you turn wasted space into a valuable asset and enable you to generate additional revenue at a fraction of the costs associated with extending your facility or purchasing a new site.
Quick to deploy and easy to relocate, they’re an ideal solution for business owners who need to scale quickly and have a large amount of unused land to leverage.
They’re also well-suited to supporting the rapid expansion of facilities already at capacity and/or allowing you to capitalise on a sudden surge in short-term demand.
Scalable By Design
In some instances, we’ve even seen external self storage units used to kickstart the launch of a brand-new venture, allowing landowners to test the waters and supply a rudimentary service while gathering the capital required to build a fully-fledged self storage facility.
Whatever the case, our external self storage units are solid and durable, offering security comparable to traditional indoor units at a price that makes sense for large and small operations focused on delivering a good ROI.
A Responsive Solution
Managing demand is a perennial issue. Some operators will achieve occupancy at or around 85% for most of the year, but the majority of owners will find that a certain amount of variability is inevitable.
Problems arise when you start to trend above 85% occupancy for an extended period and know that demand for your units is beginning to outstrip availability.
In most cases, this demand still needs to be more transient and temporary to justify expansion costs; self-storage unit construction can be prohibitively expensive, and even installing a new mezzanine floor or a self-storage unit remix may not be suitable.
That’s generally where external self storage units come into their own. While these units aren’t quite as desirable as a well-built extension to your pre-existing facility (or a more space-efficient unit mix), they are relatively cheap to deploy.
For a relatively small outlay, you can transform a portion of your car park or the scrubland surrounding your facility into a profitable part of your business, temporarily accommodating surging demand for self storage units and ensuring that this demand isn’t linked to a short-term driver.
Better still, your new external self storage units will require very little maintenance and remain relatively easy to relocate, so it won’t be hugely detrimental to your business if they sit empty for a few months following a dip in demand.
