PREMIUM OPEN STORAGE

We are dedicated to providing Class 1 premium open storage solutions across the UK.

OPEN STORAGE ACROSS THE UK

The open storage sector often conjures up images of unsurfaced or poorly surfaced low-quality sites, rented on short-term leases to unreliable occupiers with poor covenants.

Historically, this has been the case. However, demand for high quality open storage has evolved rapidly at the strategic and local levels reflecting modern supply chain requirements driven by e-commerce and just in time delivery. 

WHY HAS THE DEMAND FOR OPEN STORAGE INCREASED?

OVERSPILL

Site coverage on modern warehouse developments is now reaching 65% or more leaving minimal external space for open storage , HGV movement for parking of all vehicle types.

SUPPLY CHAINS

Logistics operators are using supplementary fleets close to distribution facilities to maximise shift patterns and accelerate the flow of goods.

NET ZERO OCCUPIERS

EV charging and alternative fuel operators are an increasing segment of the open storage market.

ECOMMERCE

3PL and fulfilment businesses are requiring a hierarchy of locations to meet strategic regional and local supply routes.

FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS

Open storage refers to outdoor spaces that are specifically designed for the storage of goods, vehicles, equipment, or materials. These sites are typically uncovered and are ideal for items that do not require protection from the elements; such as heavy machinery, HGVs (Heavy Goods Vehicles), pallets, or construction materials. At Opensite, our open storage sites are equipped with suitable surfacing and secure fencing. 

Open storage provides several benefits for logistics operations, including:

  • Cost-Effectiveness: Open storage is often more affordable than indoor warehousing, making it a cost-effective solution for items that can be stored outdoors.
  • Flexibility: These spaces can be easily adapted for various uses, from vehicle parking and HGV washing to material storage and distribution.
  • Accessibility: Open storage sites are typically located in strategic areas with easy access to major transportation routes, facilitating efficient logistics operations.

Security is a top priority for open storage sites. These areas are often equipped with robust security measures, including perimeter fencing, controlled access points, and surveillance systems. At Opensite Ltd, we prioritise the security of our sites, providing our clients with peace of mind that their assets are protected.

  • Logistics and Distribution: For storing and managing vehicles, pallets, and other large items.
  • Construction: For storing heavy equipment, building materials, and machinery.
  • Retail and Wholesale: For overflow stock that doesn’t require indoor storage.
