When it comes to storing your cherished belongings, whether you’re downsizing, moving, or just need some more space, choosing the right storage unit is crucial. Two popular options are indoor and outdoor storage units, each offering a unique set of benefits and differences. To help you make an informed decision about which type of storage is best suited to your needs, let’s take a closer look at these two options.

Indoor Storage Units

Indoor storage units are located within an enclosed building, providing an extra layer of protection. Here are some key advantages of indoor storage:

  1. Security
    Indoor storage units are equipped with state-of-the-art security systems. Expect 24/7 surveillance, controlled access, individual alarm systems, and on-site managers.
  2. Affordability
    Indoor storage units are generally more budget-friendly than indoor options. If you’re looking for a cost-effective storage solution for items that can withstand temperature fluctuations, outdoor units are an excellent choice.
  3. Protection from the Elements
    Indoor units shield your belongings from external weather conditions, such as rain, snow, or extreme heat. This protection ensures that your items remain in excellent condition, particularly those susceptible to weather-related damage.
  4. Climate-Controlled
    Indoor storage units often offer climate-controlled features such as a set temperature range in order to provide an ideal environment for your items. Depending on the storage facility and region, climate-controlled units may be heated or air-conditioned in order to achieve the ideal temperature perfect for collectibles, electronics, furniture, and other sensitive items.

Outdoor Storage Units

Our outdoor storage units boast an array of benefits, particularly if you’re seeking accessibility and affordability:

  1. Security
    While outdoor units are known for convenience, we take security just as seriously. Our outdoor units feature state-of-the-art security measures, including a fully gated facility, controlled gate access, surveillance cameras, individually alarmed units, and on-site managers.
  2. Drive-Up Access
    One of the key benefits of outdoor units is drive-up access. You can park your vehicle directly in front of the unit, making loading and unloading heavy or bulky items hassle-free.
  3. Enclosed Car or Trailer Storage
    Looking for a safe place to store your vehicles or trailers? Our larger outdoor storage units provide the perfect solution, with options for enclosed car or trailer storage, ensuring your prized possessions are protected from the elements.
  4. Size Diversity
    The diversity in size of our outdoor units ensures that you can find the perfect fit for your storage needs, whether you’re storing a few boxes or large vehicles and equipment.

Choosing the Right Self Storage Unit

Your choice between indoor and outdoor storage units depends on your unique requirements:

  • Type of Items – Delicate items thrive in the climate-controlled environment of indoor storage, while outdoor units are perfect for less temperature sensitive belongings.
  • Access Frequency – Frequent access to your stored items may favor the convenience of outdoor units.
  • Climate Considerations – Take into account your local climate; if it’s harsh, indoor units offer unparalleled protection.
  • Budget – Rest easy knowing indoor units generally provide a cost-effective solution without compromising security.
