How Developers Configure a Storage Facility
Same clear-span engineering, laid out around your unit count and target market.
Drive-Up Unit Rows (40x80)
Multiple bays under one roofline, each engineered as a separate opening sized for your unit-door vendor — the standard layout for a drive-up rental facility.
Fully Enclosed Climate-Controlled Building
A single enclosed shell instead of individual open-front bays, for markets where climate-controlled RV or boat storage commands a rent premium.
Covered, Open-Sided Canopy Storage
The lowest-cost configuration per unit — roof and structural frame only, open on the sides. Common for a first phase before committing to full enclosure.
Large-Format Complex (50x100, I-Beam)
Wider than 40 feet moves to I-beam framing — Northcraft's rigid-frame system for the largest single-building rental facilities.

Frequently Asked Questions
How is this different from Northcraft's RV and boat storage page?
That page is written for someone storing their own RV or boat — one owner, one vehicle. This page is for a developer or investor building a facility to rent units out to multiple customers. The structural shell is the same product either way; the planning questions (unit mix, rentable square footage, access and security) are different, which is why this page exists separately.
What does an RV storage facility building cost?
Northcraft's published C-channel floor for a 40x80 shell is $33,700, delivered, at a 10-foot eave height with standard loads. Going wider than 40 feet moves the frame to I-beam, starting at $49,600 for a 50x100 at a 12-foot eave basis. That covers stamped engineering drawings, the building components, and freight — not individual unit doors, concrete, or erection.
How do I plan unit mix and rentable square footage?
That's a business-planning question best answered against your local market's demand — typical RV/boat storage unit widths and the drive-aisle clearance your customers need to maneuver in and out. Once you have a target unit count and width, tell us your overall footprint and bay spacing and we'll engineer the building around it.
Does Northcraft handle fencing, gate access, or security systems?
No — Northcraft engineers and delivers the building structure. Perimeter fencing, gate access control, cameras, and lighting are typically contracted locally as part of the site work, alongside your concrete and erection contractors.
Does a storage-rental facility need different permitting than a single farm building?
Often yes — a commercial rental use typically triggers a different zoning and permitting path than an agricultural or single-owner accessory structure, and some jurisdictions treat a self-storage-style business as its own use category. Check with your local planning department early, before finalizing your site plan. We provide the stamped engineering drawings the building-permit side of that process will ask for.
What loads does the published price assume, and what raises it?
The floors above assume ground snow load up to 35 pounds per square foot and wind speed up to 110 mph. If your county requires more, that moves the price — tell us your zip code and we'll confirm your real number. Eave height above the basis and high seismic activity are the other factors; for an I-beam facility, a bridge crane or heavy mezzanine also counts as collateral load.
Can I finance a storage facility building?
Northcraft does not broker or arrange financing. Buyers building a rental facility typically use commercial or investment-property financing — ask your estimator what's worked for other buyers in a similar situation.
How long does an RV storage facility take from order to delivery?
Typically 45-60 days from order to delivery, depending on engineering review and current production volume. Your estimator confirms a real date range once your drawings are finalized.
