What is it?
Self storage is a convenient and affordable alternative to using your garage, closets, basements, or spare rooms to store things you periodically need, but do not use every day. Select a self storage facility that provides a protected environment, easy access, and that is convenient to your location.
Self storage is also a business tool. Rather than paying standard commercial office rates to keep archived files or excess inventory, self storage makes economic sense. For the tradesman who wants an economical way to store tools, equipment and inventory, self storage is
What size do I need?
This depends on the quantity and type of articles you are storing as well as whether or not you need "access space" within the unit itself. Use our space estimator to determine the amount of space you will need.
What about items that require special care?
Fragile items should be packed and stored with extra care. More details are available at Packing Tips. Items sensitive to humidity or extremes in temperature should be stored in climate controlled units.
Are there items I can not store?
Yes. These include, but are not limited to:
 | Any living or dead animal or person |
| Used tires |
| Food |
| Firearms |
| Explosives |
| Flammables of any kind (gas, diesel, kerosene, oil, paint, etc) |
| Drugs or drug paraphernalia (except pharmaceuticals) |
| Stolen items |
| Hazardous waste material of any kind |

Can I get to my items whenever I need to?
Gate access is computer controlled and allows tenants to access their units at any time. While we have standard office hours, we can be available to help you with your rental needs by appointment at other times.
Is my property covered by insurance?
As a matter of law, self storage centers do not automatically provide insurance for your stored items. While losses rarely occur in centers with modern security systems and access features, it is always wise for you to make sure your possessions are covered by a rental policy. These may be obtained through your homeowner's or rental insurance policy or provider. We also offer low cost coverage for your unit's contents. Contact us for more information.
Where can I get packing and moving supplies?
Supplies are available at hardware stores and home centers. We also carry a full range of moving and packing supplies at competitive rates.
What payment options are available?
We offer month-to-month rentals as well as multi-month leases. Payments are due in advance of the current rental period. We accept cash, checks, money orders and most credit cards. For credit card users, we offer automatic payment submission for your convenience.
