Self Storage Unit Types 101
Everything You Need To Know About Renting A Self Storage Unit
If you are renting a self storage unit for the first time, it is normal to have questions. What size unit do you need? Should you consider climate control? How often will you access your items? At YourWay Storage, our goal is to make your storage experience simple, stress-free, and affordable. We have put together this guide to help you understand the basics so you can choose the right storage solution with confidence.
What Is Self Storage?
Self storage units are secure spaces you can rent to store personal or business belongings. At YourWay Storage, units are available on a month-to-month basis, providing you with the flexibility to store for a short time or as long as you need.
Unlike portable storage services, where access is controlled by the provider, YourWay Storage gives you full control. You can pack your unit in the way that works best for you, access it during our extended gate hours, and add or remove items as needed.
Our storage facilities are designed for convenience, featuring wide driveways, easy access, and a range of storage unit sizes to find the perfect fit.
Common Reasons People Choose YourWay Storage
Moving

What You Can and Cannot Store
While YourWay Storage offers secure space for almost anything, certain items cannot be stored for safety and legal reasons.
If you have questions about a specific item, our facility managers will be happy to guide you.
Understanding Storage Unit Access Types
Outdoor or Drive-Up Access
Drive-up storage units are like having your own personal garage. Park your vehicle right outside the door for quick and easy loading and unloading. These are especially convenient for large or heavy items.
Indoor Access
Indoor units are located inside a secure building. They provide added protection from the weather and are often climate-controlled, making them perfect for temperature-sensitive items such as electronics, furniture, and important documents.
