Developing RV/Boat storage; canopy suppliers to consider?
I'm looking at developing ~20,000 sq.ft. of covered RV/Boat storage to augment an existing drive up self-storage facility. Anybody have any direct experience, or inputs into quality suppliers? I currently have recommendations for:
https://www.bajacarports.com/
https://www.makosteel.com/canopies
Anybody else I should be considering? My location is Michigan.
Any first hand insights into this particular storage niche would also be appreciated!

My 2 cents is I shy away from canopy storage because one can get more income per sq foot on self storage and the cost of building is very close to the same. (not counting the land you have to have for turning the boats and RV's around) If your market can handle more supply one might get a better return just building self storage. But that was not your question..... You might want to call up BETCO to check their pricing.
