I've never seen it done correctly to meet building codes.... -
As a supplier the prices that we pay for steel depend on what the markets for steel dictate. Steel prices skyrocketed rapidly this spring based on speculation long before the tariffs became law.
I don't know of ANY supplier in our industry using foreign steel, but the situation impacts...Leave a comment:

You'd need to look at the framing to see if that would work. Our customer support dept could help you figure it out. I'd suggest to ask for Cody in our Customer Service department on this topic (call 800-356-5824 and ask for him). In most cases the column in that partition wall between two units in...Last edited by Steve_hajewski; 9th August 2018, 02:14 PM.Leave a comment:

I was left with an entire unit which included more than half a dozen singing fish. I was so sick of "Don't worry be happy" and "Take me to the River" by the time I was done cleaning that one out.
Me to my wife: "We have been left with an abandoned...Leave a comment:

Due to stricter energy codes it is becoming less possible to do this each year in most of the country.Leave a comment:

Grizz: You might want to use the "advanced" calculator tool for that. The basic version assumes a minimum of 30% coverage for drive up storage units, but that might be a little high if you are doing wide drives for campers and RVs. The advanced version allows you to create an exact unit mix...Leave a comment:

Those are two questions that can not be answered with the info you have.
We have a tool on our web site that can help walk a person through a rough financial projection though. https://www.trachte.com/resources/ca...nt-calculator/ If you hover over the "?"...Leave a comment:

I would think you would have trouble getting permits, financing and insurance to do that. My property borders a wetland and just dealing with that is really a hassle to deal with....Leave a comment:

I am not going to say anything about them (I've actually never even heard of them) but here are some measures of quality in a self-storage building.
- What gauge is the exterior steel? It will range from 26 to 18, with 18 being the thickest. Thicker steel buildings are more dent resistant,...Leave a comment:

I've heard this story before. I know how it ends. It's not a happy story for you.
"I'm really sorry, but the unit has since been reserved by another party through our web site. That was our last one so I no longer have a storage unit available for you. I know you need a unit soon...Leave a comment:

If you had damage that rendered the foundations unusable that might be a bit low on the climate control units. Otherwise your figures are probably fine. To be sure send an email to the manufacturer of your buildings perhaps with a site plan if you have it handy. Doing a complete quote is a bit of work...Leave a comment:

Yeah, but there is a LOT of pavement. If the quotes come back too crazy high I might do it myself but it would require me to burn up vacation hours at the day job. Also I figure a professional will probably get it done and be out of there faster, so less disruption to my renters. I'm thinking I'll do...Leave a comment:

Sealcoating
I need to get my cracks filled and driveway seal coated. Does anyone have any advice on particular specs I should be looking for? I've seen newly seal coated parking lots where the material was nearly worn off in a few months, almost as if they simply painted it black. I'd like to make sure the contractor... -
I think most of us would define street and regular rate as the same thing. At my facility some older clients pay less at the moment since I am nearly full and have been able to raise the rates on empty units a little quicker than I have on existing customers.
Bigger corporate locations...Leave a comment:

I've had a few of those kinds of tenants. I totally understand just wanting them gone... although I have to admit that as long as I kept on them for collections it wasn't the worst thing in the world.... a few of them I raised their rent $20 higher then street and also charge them a $20 monthly late...Leave a comment:

If you are proactive you can sometimes manipulate rents to drive people to what you have available. Then you don't have move any walls. And I don't mean discounting... I mean raise rents on what you are short on.Leave a comment:

The brand I have used is Nichiha. They do not need to be painted, but I have seen it done when someone wanted a color of fake limestone that they did not make. Looked great but I would avoid paint which leads to maintenance some day. YOu can see the varieties of panels available at Nichiha.com. They...Leave a comment:

if you don't have funds for a 10% down payment and up front engineering design costs of a small phased project, you should probably find a partner to join you in the venture. A home equity loan, loan against a retirement investment, or a withdrawal of principal finds from an IRA are some of the options...Leave a comment:

Take a look at recently constructed retail space and medical offices in your area for inspiration. Those buildings will often have some great ideas with high end appeal.
Of the sites I have seen recently that really pop, I think some of the items that are in common are taller horizontal...Leave a comment:
