In my opinion, there are few good reasons for building new. https://usedshelter.com/telecom-shelters/?_ga=2.233259614.1766407811.1627746064-1553652512.1627746064

So at least they are not 23 years old :-) New those shelters are $40k-$50k I think Daniel White Co-Founder phone: +1 (702) 470-2770 direct: +1 (702) 470-2766 Josh LuthmanJuly 30, 2021 at 07:59 Probably about the same. But built in 2021 versus 1998. Just think about supporting those 23 year old HVAC systems and paying that bill every month. Now think about spending an extra $2500 for modern ones.

There really isn't any difference between that and a structure built on site to the same spec. Usually they are prefab concrete. These are the design criteria Fiberbond builds to for instance - https://www.fibrebond.com/wp-content/uploads/2017/07/Concrete-Generic-Specifications-2016.pdf https://www.fibrebond.com/markets/telecom/ Used one for sale - https://telepp.com/product/11-5x22-fibrebond-concrete-shelter/ Chris FabienJuly 28, 2021 at 07:39 We need to upgrade a roadside FTTH cabinet to a small building. I've never started from scratch before. It will house maybe 2 racks of equipment. I'm thinking 10x15 or 10x20 footprint. I know a used tower shelter is an option but I'm leaning towards a real building, maybe concrete for tornado resistance. Probably two small Mini Splits for cooling. Power, I'm not sure, probably dual 48v system although we may have some 120 equipment. Propane backup generator or course. Probably needs some propane heat also for winter in Michigan but maybe I could just run the right mini split and some electric heat for super cold days. Interested in any other ideas and what stuff do I need to consider that's not even on my radar.
