Outdoor Storage Racking

Storage Solutions for Outdoor Facilities

Outdoor space is one of the most underused storage assets a business has. NAS Group's outdoor storage racking turns yards and exterior areas into secure, organized storage, cutting the costs of heating, cooling, and lighting indoor space while freeing up your warehouse for climate-sensitive products.

Built from galvanized, weather-resistant steel, our outdoor Cantilever Racking and Selective Racking systems are engineered to handle sun, rain, ice, and snow year after year. Optional roof coverings and wall panels attach directly to the racking for added protection, and for fully enclosed setups, our racking also works inside covered outdoor structures, keeping your materials safe and accessible in every season.

Industry-Specific Challenges

  • Freeing up limited warehouse space for climate-sensitive products.
  • Preventing rust and corrosion on racking exposed to the elements.
  • Protecting stored materials from weather and environmental damage.
  • Keeping outdoor inventory organized and easy to access year-round.
  • Adapting storage systems to diverse materials and site requirements.

Frequently Asked Questions

Can pallet racking be installed outside, or does it need to be indoors?
Racking can be installed outdoors when it's built for it. NAS Group's outdoor storage racking is engineered for direct exposure to sun, rain, ice, and snow, using galvanized steel that resists weather and lasts longer outside than standard indoor racking.
What type of racking is best for storing lumber, pipe, or steel outdoors?
Cantilever Racking is the most common choice for long, bulky materials stored outside. Its open-front arms make loading and unloading easy, and NAS Group builds outdoor Cantilever Racking specifically for yard and external storage. For palletized goods, Selective Racking is also an option.
Is it cheaper to store inventory outside instead of in a warehouse?
It often is. Moving suitable inventory to outdoor racking cuts the costs tied to indoor space, including heating, air conditioning, lighting, and building maintenance. It also frees up interior floor space for products that need a controlled environment.
How can materials on outdoor storage racks be protected from rain and snow?
Roof coverings and wall panels can be attached directly to the racking structure. These shield stored products from weather while keeping the system open and accessible, making it practical for year-round use.
