You may need a climate control unit if you have books, antique furniture, paintings, electronics, or artwork of any kind.

This feature helps protect your stored belongings from extreme temperatures and makes going through the storage more comfortable.

A drive-up unit is an outside unit, located on the ground, which gives you the ability to load your belongings directly from a vehicle or truck. Still keep in mind the climate-controlled units are inside units.

We require a 10 days written vacating notice prior to your due date. We also ask you to fill out a vacating report once the unit is being emptied.

We must see a valid government-issued form of photo identification (a driver’s license, state-issued ID, or passport).
