VersaTube is Writing a New Cover Story in RV & Boat Mini Storage

admin — Tue, 11 Nov 2008 19:43:02 +0000

With the downturn in the economy and the high gasoline prices of last spring and summer, many recreational vehicle owners reluctantly faced the tough decision to store their motor homes and boats for an extended period of time. As a result, a greater number of RV and boat owners are now seeking dependable storage units for their vehicles – and they’re just not settling for open air storage anymore. In the storage business, a completely uncovered, unprotected lot could mean a 75% to 125% difference in profitability.

Want to increase your profits and ROI in a declining economy? Want an edge on your competition while addressing your customers’ increasing requests for covered motor home and boat storage units? Look no further than premium steel RV and boat storage shelters from VersaTube® Building Systems.

A Case Study for Covered RV & Boat Storage

Like any mini-storage business owner, Derrel Ridenour’s success is driven by the needs of his clientèle. With so many of the customers at his Fresno, CA-based Derrel’s Mini Storage (www.derrels.com) looking for custom-sized RV and boat protection, it just wouldn’t be sensible for Derrel to fill every lot with permanent standardized shelters. He wants to be flexible to address the specific coverage needs of his customers. That’s why one of America’s largest mini-storage operators uses VersaTube’s durable, easy-to-assemble steel RV and boat covers.

The shelter package is assembled and finished on site, and can just as easily be reconfigured, should one of Derrel’s customers decide to bring home that “bigger” boat or RV they’ve had their eye on. Plus, the VersaTube® RV and boat cover is classified as a “portable building,” so its cost is depreciated after just seven years. Compare that to the thirty years required for most commercial structures. All this, plus the unparalleled strength, versatility, and patented construction design that only VersaTube® can offer.

Looking for an easy way to boost the value and profitability of your mini storage spaces? With VersaTube® Building Systems, we’ve got you covered. Call 1-800-900-7222 for more information or visit our website at www.VersaTube.com. Dealer inquiries welcome.

COLLIERVILLE, Tenn. — VersaTube® Building Systems recently introduced their new Suburban Series line of carports and shelters. Primary features of the Suburban Series offer two distinct advantages over more common carport structures – a boxed eave A-frame design presents an alternative to the typical rounded roof look and width dimensions are an extra foot wider to provide greater coverage and additional room.

The new shelter series features VersaTube’s® patented “Slip-Fit” frame connections that speed frame assembly and reduce installation time. Available dimensions include standard widths of 13-feet, 19-feet and 25-feet and heights of six, nine and 12-feet. These complete carport packages are backed by a limited 20-year warranty on frame components and roof panels. Length extensions and enclosure options add flexibility to address individual shelter needs.

The Suburban Series 13-feet wide by 20-feet long by six-feet high single-wide model has also been added as a stock carport product by Lowe’s Companies, Inc. and is currently available in some 56 select Lowe’s Home Improvement Warehouse locations in Southern California. The popular 19-foot wide two-vehicle, double-wide carport and other Suburban Series sizes and options can be ordered in-store through Lowe’s Special Order Sales.

With fiscal year 2007 sales of $48.3 billion, Lowe’s Companies, Inc. is a FORTUNE® 50 company that serves approximately 14 million customers a week at more than 1,550 home improvement stores in the United States and Canada.
