Why Choose Canopies for Boat & RV Storage?

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.
