Indoor vs. Outdoor Storage

Introduction

Outdoor Units

• Drive-Up Access: Outdoor units are typically drive-up units, allowing you to load and unload your belongings directly from your vehicle or truck. This feature is especially convenient if you have heavy or bulky items.
• Ease of Access: With a drive-up unit, you can access your belongings quickly and easily without having to navigate through the property.

Indoor Units

• Climate Control: Indoor units are located within the property and are climate-controlled, making them ideal for storing temperature-sensitive items such as electronics, furniture, or important documents.
• Secure and Protected: Being inside the building adds an extra layer of protection from weather conditions and potential security risks.
• Convenient Access: Although indoor units require you to go inside and down a hall to reach your unit, we make the process easy with four different entry doors and convenient hand carts available on-site to assist you during your move.

Choosing the Right Unit for You

• Outdoor Unit: Choose an outdoor unit if you need quick, direct access to your storage, especially for large or heavy items.
• Indoor Unit: Opt for an indoor unit if you need to store items that require climate control or if you prefer additional protection from the elements.
