Canopy storage can earn nearly double the rent of basic spaces — and tenants often stay longer.
Canopies
Boat and RV storage is a rapidly growing sector in the self-storage industry. Whether you’re expanding your existing self-storage development or starting a stand-alone investment, Trachte Building Systems now offers customizable steel canopies to meet your Boat & RV storage needs. Canopies continue to be one of the most sought-after products in the self-storage industry, offering an affordable, high-return investment opportunity.
Our flexible canopy designs can complement your existing self-storage facilities or stand on their own, providing much-needed shelter for recreational vehicles and boats. With Trachte, you can create an optimized solution for your storage business that meets both your clients’ needs and your bottom line. Plus, our canopies and buildings are solar ready—offering additional value for owners looking to incorporate solar panels into their investment.

A Low-Cost, High-Return Investment
Many self-storage operators rely on open parking spaces for Boat & RV storage, but adding a canopy can significantly increase your revenue potential. Data shows that offering covered storage doubles the rent you can charge for the uncovered parking space. If you’re looking to maximize the income potential from your available land, fully enclosed Boat & RV storage units can command almost double the rent of a simple canopy space.
Wider Market Reach
Canopies make your storage offerings more attractive to a broader customer base, especially those in proximity to bodies of water and recreational areas. These locations are ideal for Boat & RV storage since customers prefer not to haul their vehicles over long distances. By offering a protected space for their boats and RVs, you can draw in more clients from a larger geographic market.
Longer Tenant Stays
The average self-storage customer rents for about a year, but Boat & RV tenants often stay longer. The typical rental term for Boat & RV storage spans two years, providing stable, long-term income for your business.
