[AFMUG] OT One for the borg
Thinking of arranging about 50 conex containers on some commercial land I own and renting them out for storage. I want software where they will go online, see vacancies, rent, auto pay etc. Totally hands off. Even like a phone app to open the gate for them when they want to get into the place. Hate to develop code for this. It has to exist out in the world somewhere... Any ideas.
[AFMUG] OT One for the borg
I am considering using some SDR 13.5 duct where I have always used SDR11 before. The DR stands for diameter ratio. Ratio between wall thickness and outer diameter (I think). Higher numbers mean thinner wall thickness. Others use the 13.5 unless they get into rocky areas. I am a bit gunshy as the cost is only about 2 cents per foot different. Anyone here have any experiences they can relate?

What might be cool though is to have a geo-location feature on an app that just opens the gate when a recognized device pulls into the driveway. Is that too advanced?

Re: [AFMUG] OT One for the borg
That reminds me of a thing I was thinking of doing. You can drop the arms on a rail road crossing by simply shorting out the tracks. The RR tracks have a somewhat electrically isolated segment that can detect the oncoming train by passing a current through the tracks. There was once a particularly cranky guy that had to cross a crossing every day to and from work several times. I considered putting a transmitter in his truck that would trigger a relay that would drop the arms when they sensed the approach of his truck. Keep them down for maybe 2 minutes. I still smile when I think about this project I never did.

Re: [AFMUG] OT One for the borg
I own a small storage business called 277 Storage <http://277storage.com>. First I would say, there is storage business software that wraps this all up for you. For something of that scale, I would think the ROI of that software is prohibitive, but likely less so than doing it yourself with what I assume your time is worth. At least that was the case last time I looked. There is somebody in Utah that claims to have software a small business <https://www.storageunitsoftware.com/self-storage-software> like you describe could afford. The second thing I would say is I wouldn't do it with conex boxes. While I Like those containers and they are generally tighter than purpose built storage buildings, they turn renters off. Every site I have seen with them looks a bit dodgy and people seem to expect to pay less for those sites. A fence would be advisable. Units without fencing get burglary attempts than non fenced. I think it is likely due to the perception thieves have about the rest of the attitude on security. Maybe I am wrong but the people who call me are more worried about security than price. I would also suggest putting up a HikVision, or if you prefer, Ubiquiti, camera system as well. Even a fake camera system would be worth the effort. Lastly, Throw all that out if this land isn't in a good location and just use conex boxes. Storage is a real estate business similar to others and if the location isn't good you will fight that uphill battle. If there are a lot of businesses in the area they may like those for storage. Don't know. We have had really good results with our warehouse storage. Call if you want to talk about it.

Re: [AFMUG] OT One for the borg
The 13.5 tends to squish a little more than 11. If it sits outside long enough, it is a bit more brittle too. We've had some minor issues where plowing in rocky areas and the rocks can sometimes squish it. Regards, Chuck On Fri, Apr 20, 2018 at 12:18 PM, wrote: > You get 5000 feet on 7 foot reels too.

Re: [AFMUG] OT One for the borg
13.5 kinks easier too, especially 1". Even tho ote stiffer it's easier to get sdr11 placed and routed into peds/handholds without linking.

Thanks, I think I will stick to the 11 for now. From: Chris Fabien Sent: Monday, April 23, 2018 8:03 AM To: af@afmug.com Subject: Re: [AFMUG] OT One for the borg 13.5 kinks easier too, especially 1".
