Frequently asked questions

What are the benefits of using self-storage for your business?  

A reliable business storage solution is essential for several key reasons.


It can lead to significant cost savings: By utilizing a storage unit for your products, inventory, or tools you reduce the expenses associated with leasing additional office or warehouse space. 


It promotes better organization: Having a designated storage space consolidates your business materials in one location, making it simpler to locate items quickly and maintain accurate inventory counts.  


It enhances security: Storing your assets off-site in a secure facility minimizes the risk of them being damaged or stolen at your primary business location. 


Great for startups: Self-storage for e-commerce is a great place to start scaling your business without sacrificing your own personal space. It is perfect for eBay inventory storage or a startup selling things from Etsy that need storage solutions.

Can I store large furniture in a medium-sized locker like a 10x10?

What should I consider when picking the locker height?

Storage units vary in height, typically around 8-10 feet tall. If you plan to store tall items or stack boxes, take advantage of vertical space. Make sure your items can safely be stacked without damaging anything at the bottom.

How much extra space should I plan for when choosing a unit?

It's a good idea to leave a little extra space for moving around inside the unit or for adding new items later. Packing the unit too tightly can make it difficult to retrieve items without rearranging everything.

plus-iconminus-icon
If I find out that I have rented too small or too big of a unit can I change to a different size?

We understand that your needs may change over time. So long as there is a unit available to move into, we would be happy to increase or decrease the size of the unit. Just speak to someone at your store and they will work with you to make sure you have what you need.
