Our Drive-Up Storage Units are perfect if you want easy access—just pull your vehicle right up to the roll-up door for quick loading and unloading of large or heavy items.

Question 6

What size of self storage unit should I rent?

Accepted Answer

Selecting the right storage unit size depends on the amount of living space you’re moving and the items you need to store. For a one-bedroom apartment, a 5×15 unit (75 sq. ft.) works for a minimalist approach, while a 10×10 unit (100 sq. ft.) offers extra space for more items. For a two-bedroom apartment, a 10×10 unit (100 sq. ft.) suits a moderate amount of belongings, but a 10×15 unit (150 sq. ft.) is better for larger furniture and additional items. A three-bedroom house typically requires a 10×25 unit (250 sq. ft.) to fit furniture and appliances, while a four-bedroom house usually needs a 10×30 unit (300 sq. ft.) to accommodate a significant number of items, including large furniture and outdoor equipment.

Question 7

Can I bring my own lock for the storage unit I'm renting?

Accepted Answer

Yes, you can bring your own lock for the storage unit you’re renting, but we strongly recommend opting for our disc locks. These are designed for superior security and are more resistant to tampering and theft compared to standard locks.

Question 9

What is climate-controlled self storage?

Accepted Answer

A climate-controlled storage unit is housed within a building that maintains a consistent temperature range of 55 to 85 degrees year-round. This controlled environment is ideal for preserving sensitive items such as vinyl records, photographs, books, and other valuables that may be affected by extreme temperatures and humidity.

Question 10

Do I need a climate-controlled self storage unit?

Accepted Answer

Choosing climate-controlled storage can be a smart investment depending on a few key factors. If you live in an area with extreme temperatures, whether high or low, climate control can protect your belongings from damage caused by temperature fluctuations. It’s also essential if you’re storing valuable or sensitive items, such as antiques, electronics, or documents, that require a stable environment. Additionally, if you plan to store your items for an extended period, climate-controlled storage helps ensure they remain in optimal condition over time.

Question 11

What items should be stored in a climate controlled self storage unit?

Accepted Answer

Climate-controlled storage units provide crucial protection for a variety of household items that are sensitive to temperature and humidity changes. Commonly stored items include collectibles such as artwork, stamp collections, and vinyl records, which can be damaged by fluctuating conditions. Electronics like TVs, gaming systems, stereos, and computers benefit from a stable environment to prevent deterioration. Personal items such as books, clothing, and important documents also stay in better condition when stored in a climate-controlled unit. Additionally, media such as photographs, negatives, and film reels are safeguarded from degradation, while furniture—especially wood and leather pieces—remains protected from the adverse effects of temperature fluctuations.

However, there are specific items that are not allowed. For safety reasons, you cannot store combustible materials like fireworks, fuel tanks, or paint thinner due to the risk of fire.
