Drive Up vs Climate Controlled Storage Units

Drive Up Storage Units


A drive up storage unit is a convenient and easily accessible self storage option. As the name suggests, these units can be accessed directly by car, allowing you to drive your vehicle right up to the unit for easy loading and unloading of your belongings.

 

Drive up storage units are typically located on the ground floor, making them easy to access without the need for an elevator or stairs. They are also typically larger than indoor units, allowing you to store a greater volume of items.

 

One of the main benefits of a drive up storage unit is that it allows you to load and unload your belongings directly from your car, which can be especially convenient if you have a lot of heavy or bulky items to store. It also eliminates the need to use a cart or dolly to transport your items to and from your unit.

 

Overall, a drive up storage unit is a practical and convenient option for storing a wide range of personal or business items. If you have a lot of items to store and value the convenience of being able to drive up to your unit, a drive up storage unit may be the perfect solution for you.

Climate Controlled Units


A climate controlled storage unit is a type of self storage unit that is designed to maintain a consistent temperature and humidity level inside the unit. These units are equipped with temperature and humidity control systems that help to protect your belongings from extreme temperature fluctuations and excess moisture, which can damage sensitive items such as electronics, photographs, musical instruments, and more.

 

Climate controlled storage units are typically available in a range of sizes to accommodate different storage needs. They are typically more expensive than non climate controlled units, but they offer an added layer of protection for your valuable items.

 

If you are storing items that are sensitive to temperature and humidity changes, or if you simply want to ensure that your belongings are stored in a stable and consistent environment, a climate controlled storage unit may be the right choice for you.

Ready, Set, Store


  1. Sort through your belongings and decide what you really need to store. This will help you determine the size of the storage unit you need, and it will also make it easier to pack and organize your items.
  2. Clean and dry all of your belongings before storing them. This will help prevent the growth of mold and mildew, which can damage your items.
  3. Use sturdy boxes and containers to pack your items. Avoid using boxes that are too large or too heavy, as they can be difficult to move and may cause damage to your items.
  4. Label all of your boxes and containers clearly. This will help you find items easily when you need them, and it will also help you keep track of what you have stored.
  5. Use packing materials such as bubble wrap, foam peanuts, or old newspapers to protect delicate items. This will help prevent them from getting damaged during storage.
  6. Place heavier items on the bottom of your boxes, and lighter items on top. This will help prevent your boxes from collapsing or getting damaged.
  7. Consider using storage furniture, such as storage ottomans or storage bins, to make the most of your space. These items can double as seating or storage, and they can help you keep your unit organized.
  8. Leave a little space around the edges of your unit to allow for ventilation. This will help prevent moisture from accumulating, which can damage your items.
  9. Consider purchasing insurance for your stored items. This will provide added protection in case of damage or loss.
  10. Make a list of the items you are storing, and keep it in a safe place. This will help you keep track of what you have stored, and it will also be helpful if you need to make a claim for insurance purposes.

 

By following these tips, you can help ensure that your items are stored safely and securely in your self storage unit.
