Bunch Marine Boat Storage

Bunch Marine had a problem that didn't have an obvious answer. Boat owners using the marina year-round needed somewhere to store their boats during the off-season. The lot they had to work with was tight. And the calendar wasn't waiting around: the build had to be done before winter or it would miss the first storage cycle entirely. Here's how we made it happen.

Bunch Marine Boat Storage

The Project

Bunch Marine needed off-season boat storage for their marina customers in Harriman, Tennessee. The lot was tight, the capacity goal wasn’t, and the building had to be operational before winter. We designed and built a 4,480 sq ft vertical steel storage facility — 42 feet tall, with room for more than 40 boats.

Why Vertical Steel Was the Right System

On a site this size, the only direction to grow was up. Clear-span steel framing carries the roof without interior columns, so the full floor plate goes to storage — nothing lost to structure. Racking vertically inside 42 feet of clearance gave Bunch Marine capacity a conventional single-story building couldn’t fit on the property. Steel also frames and encloses quickly, which is how we hit the winter deadline.

Fabricated and Erected In-House ETC Fabrication, our sister company, handled the steel design, drafting, engineering, and fabrication. Our own ironworkers erected it. We never sat in another fabricator’s queue, and when field conditions changed, the answer came out of our own shop instead of a three-company phone chain. We finished the building with a standing seam metal roof — low maintenance, built for East Tennessee weather — and matched the exterior to the existing marina buildings.

The Result

The facility opened on schedule and started earning storage revenue on the first day of the off-season. Demand the client already had, capacity the lot didn’t appear to have. If your business is growing on a tight site, a custom steel building or pre-engineered metal building may solve more than you’d expect. We handle design, engineering, fabrication, and erection with one team. Call us about your site.
