An entrepreneur wanted to open a profitable new self-storage facility in Saraland, Alabama, and ordered this pre-engineered metal mini storage building to house the business in September 2024.
As an existing owner of several Mini Storage Outlet mini storage buildings, the buyer had firsthand knowledge of how easy it is to erect, maintain and operate a self-storage business out of a metal building and purchased this new, climate-controlled mini storage building to serve the storage needs of residents of southwestern Alabama and the Mobile metropolitan area. Designed for tenants looking for a safe, secure place to store items they lack space for at home or at work, the building provides reliable protection for renter goods while generating steady rental income for the business owner.
An insulation package keeps humidity at bay and interior temperatures well-suited for storage and comfortable for tenants looking to store or retrieve belongings, with a layer of R-30 fiberglass insulation lining the roof and another 6” of fiberglass insulation lining the walls.
In total, the expansive, 230’x330’x9.5’ metal mini storage building contains (550) storage units for rent divided by 29-gauge steel partitions. Each unit allows for private access via either a Royal Blue Model 650 or 750 mini storage door with a stainless-steel latch, and distributed throughout the metal self-storage facility are:
- (64) 3’x7’ Model 650 mini storage doors
- (425) 8’x7’ Model 650 mini storage doors
- (61) 8’x7’ Model 750 mini storage doors
The self-storage facility also has (4) 4’x7’ wind-rated walk doors with hardware that provide general access into the business.
On the outside, the mini storage building has Gray paint and a combination of Brilliant White and Gray trim contributing to its curb appeal. It also has gutters and downspouts along the roof line, helping prevent moisture from potentially penetrating the building envelope and compromising structural integrity.
Other notable customizations include (34) diamond plate corners with fasteners, which add an aesthetic touch to the structure while boosting the steel building’s overall durability. Durable, sustainable and easy to maintain, this metal mini storage building provides year-round protection for items kept inside while protecting them from theft, extreme temperatures, moisture, humidity and other hazards associated with life in southern Alabama.
Mobile County’s third-largest city, Saraland is part of Mobile County and neighbors the communities of Prichard, Chickasaw, Satsuma, Creola and Mobile.
