Metal Mini Storage Building in Hayes, Virginia

A Hayes, Virginia-based entrepreneur wanted to enter the recession-resistant self-storage industry and bought this pre-engineered Sunward Steel mini storage building to house the new business in April of 2022.

Offering both traditional and climate-controlled storage units, the eight-unit mini storage building now houses the operations of Ordinary Mini Storage, providing in-demand new storage solutions for residents of Hayes and the surrounding coastal communities of eastern Virginia. Well-suited for tenants with traditional storage needs, the mini storage building features Polar White walls, a matching roof and Koko Brown trim, boosting curb appeal while boasting a modern, contemporary look and feel.

Polar White gutters and downspouts enhance protection for items stored inside by diverting rain and snow away from the steel building’s roof and foundation, while the structure’s steel framing and paneling provides optimal protection from the elements, pests, potential theft and other hazards.

Heavy-duty 29-gauge steel partitions function as dividers between storage units, creating separate, private spaces for each tenant. Several of the units also feature 4” of WMP-VR-backed fiberglass insulation blankets in the roof and walls, allowing for the safe, convenient storage of temperature-sensitive items.

Great for housing home goods, business assets, athletic equipment and any number of other valuables, this rugged, attractive mini storage building generates a steady stream of rental income for the owner, with self-storage businesses typically maintaining occupancy rates above 90% even during economic downturns.
