An entrepreneur in western Iowa saw a growing need for self-storage space in the region and ordered this pre-engineered Regency Steel mini storage building from Mini Storage Outlet in July of 2025.
Sent to Salix, Iowa, the metal mini storage building features 24 storage units in two sizes, allowing it to produce a solid, steady stream of rental revenue for the owner. Ideal for tenants with traditional storage needs as well as those looking to house small RVs, boats or other large items, the units offer a minimum of 240 square feet of storage space apiece that can house everything from furniture and office supplies to seasonal decorations and sports equipment.
Functioning as dividers between storage units are heavy-duty 29-gauge partition panels with Galvalume finishes, and the metal mini storage building also boasts several enhancements that guard against moisture and mold. These include gutters and downspouts that channel rain and snow away from the structure and its foundation and DripX condensation control pre-applied to the roof’s panels.
A Closer Look
Designed for fast, seamless erection, the components for this Regency Steel building arrived already partially put together, saving the owner quite a bit of time and money on construction costs. When assembled, the building is 40’x148’x12’ with a 0.5:12 roof pitch and features the following storage unit mix inside:
- (20) 12’x20’ storage units with 10’x10’ Trac-Rite Model 944 mini storage doors
- (4) 14’x20’ storage units with 12’x10’ and 3070 framed door openings
Other notable building attributes include a 29.4-psf roof snow load and a 115-mph wind speed rating, which keep the mini storage building in compliance with the building codes outlined by local authorities and the 2021 International Building Code.
Located in Woodbury County in west-central Iowa, the city of Salix is part of the Sioux City, IA – NE – SD micropolitan area. It lies roughly 15 miles southeast of Sioux City and about a 22-mile drive from Lawton, Iowa.
