What is a boat & rv steel building?
Boat and RV storage buildings are steel structures laid out by unit bay rather than by open floor: 14' to 18' tall doors, 30' to 60' unit depths, and long runs of bays served by a drive aisle. Fully enclosed, canopy and combination layouts are all standard, and the frame is engineered for the door openings in every bay line.
What drives the price
Door count is the price driver — every bay adds a door, jamb reinforcement and header. Canopy-only storage is the lowest-cost format; enclosed climate-controlled bays are the highest.

FAQ
Boat & RV questions
- What door height do RVs need?
- 14' clears most class-A coaches; 16' to 18' is safer for coaches with roof-mounted equipment or wake towers.
- Enclosed or canopy?
- Canopy costs less per square foot and rents for less. Most successful sites mix both in one building.
- How deep should units be?
- 30' to 40' covers most boats and travel trailers; 45' to 60' is needed for large diesel pushers with a tow vehicle.
- Can you do it as a kit?
- Yes. Storage buildings are repetitive and simple to install, so kits are popular with developers who have a crew.
- How tall does an RV storage door need to be?
- 14 feet clears most travel trailers and fifth wheels; 16 to 18 feet covers Class A coaches with roof-mounted air conditioners and antennas.
- Can I mix unit sizes in one building?
- Yes. We commonly run deep coach bays on one side and shorter boat or trailer bays on the other within the same frame.
