Self-Storage Buildings: Containers for Overflow
Americans’ Love of “Stuff” Births the Self-Storage Building Industry
It seems “stuff” is taking over our lives. We start out by shoving it in a closet. When that is full, we begin dragging junk to the garage, basement, attic, or a guest bedroom. Soon every available space bursts with stuff. As always, American entrepreneurs saw a need and came up with a moneymaking solution: self-storage buildings.
Finally, we could keep all our beloved stuff — and still get it out from underfoot.
Self-Storage Buildings Solve the Problem of Overstuffing
Mini-storage buildings began popping up in Texas in the 1960’s. Soon the idea spread all across America. Today the self-storage industry thrives on our emotional attachment to all our stuff.
Look at the astounding numbers:
10% of American households currently rent storage space
There are 10.8 million self-renters renters in America today
Self-storage rentals in the U.S. increased by 65% in the last 15 years.
Of the 58,000 self-storage facilities worldwide, 85% of those are in the U.S., according to U.S. Census Bureau statistics.
American self-storage facilities contain over 2.3 billion sq. ft. of space.
That’s 7 sq. ft. for every person in the country.
The entire U.S. population could actually stand in self-storage units at the same time!
Independent operators who own only one facility dominate the self-storage industry; 90% of owners are small business investors.
Pre-engineered Metal Buildings for Self-Storage Facilities
Many mini-storage places today are attractive, landscaped, and designed to complement surrounding neighborhoods, attracting upscale renters.
Self-storage renters want a safe place to put their stuff. They look for a choice of unit sizes in a well-maintained and secure facility.
To safeguard a customer’s valuables in a self-storage facility, the buildings must be strong, waterproof, and durable. Only a premier metal building system will provide the secure, appealing, durable mini-storage facility that will attract renters— and win their trust.
