Boat/RV storage presentation. Speaker was Caesar Wright of Mako Steel. From MP3 recording I downloaded from MiniCo.
Outdoor parking spaces are typically 11 feet wide - we used to make them 12 feet wide
Spaces are angled at 60 degrees to make them easy to turn into.
The industry standard for covered spaces is 14 feet clear.
The street between the spaces should be 32 feet wide, but he said that was debated in the industry.
In fully enclosed (inside) RV spaces, industry standard bay width is 14 feet. Street width between fully enclosed spaces should be 55 feet, but that is debated in the industry. I guess it has to be wider than the streets between outdoor spaces because the inside spaces are not angled at 60 degrees, they are 90 degrees, so the RV driver has to make a full 90 degree turn to get into unit. So if you build outdoor spaces at 90 degrees, then perhaps the streets should be wider.....
Eave height for fully enclosed spaces should be 16 feet, which allows for a 14 foot clear rollup door.
He discussed some fancy fully enclosed parking units in California have 71 foot wide streets between them!! And electrical power inside so RV owners can hook up their RVs to power, automatic electric openers on the overhead doors, and fire sprinklers.
