Self-storage is one of the fastest-growing segments of commercial construction in the Southeast — and cold-formed steel framing is the material of choice. Whether you're building a single-story drive-up facility, a climate-controlled multi-story tower, or a mixed-use storage complex, The Formetal Company supplies the studs, track, and accessories you need, direct from our Forest Park, GA manufacturing facility at manufacturer pricing.
Storage facilities are built to be low-maintenance, long-lasting, and cost-effective over their entire lifecycle. Steel framing checks every box. It's non-combustible, resistant to pests and moisture damage, and holds its shape decade after decade without the callbacks and maintenance issues that wood-framed interiors generate.
The repetitive nature of storage unit layouts also makes steel framing highly efficient. With consistent unit sizes and wall heights across dozens or hundreds of bays, ordering custom-cut studs and track to your exact dimensions eliminates on-site cutting entirely — dramatically cutting installation time and jobsite waste.
For climate-controlled facilities, steel's thermal properties work in your favor: it doesn't absorb or release moisture, helping maintain stable interior conditions and protecting stored belongings.
The Formetal Company regularly supplies framing packages for:
We manufacture and stock a complete range of cold-formed steel framing products for storage applications:
All products available in standard and custom lengths. On storage projects, custom lengths are especially valuable — your unit wall height is consistent across the entire facility, so we can cut every piece to match and deliver a package ready to install.

Storage facility developers are often highly cost-conscious — margins matter, and every dollar of material cost has to be justified. Buying direct from Formetal rather than through a distributor removes one full layer of markup from every piece of steel on your project. On a large storage facility with thousands of linear feet of framing, that difference is significant.
We also work directly with your team on lead times and phased delivery to match your construction schedule — something a big-box distributor can't offer.
Our Forest Park, GA facility is centrally located to serve the booming storage construction market across Metro Atlanta, North Georgia, and the broader Southeast region. We offer:
