Meets Stringent Building Codes

The Trachte™ Block Perimeter Self-Storage System accommodates block or tilt-up columns and end walls, and headers made of steel. This attractive and functional building design is ideal for meeting stringent municipal codes, complementing existing building structures, or differentiating your site from the competition.

The Block Perimeter may be constructed as a one-story building for a basic yet functional site or as a multi-story building for increased rentable units and site differentiation. Additionally, this system can be designed with any combination of bay sizes, roof pitches, or corridor systems.
