What are Outdoor or Drive-Up Storage Units?
Drive-up storage units or conventional self storage units are outdoor enclosed self-storage units that allow for easy, direct access. Consider them as an extension of your garage or shed, where you can drive-up to your storage unit, pick-up or unload your items, lock your unit up and drive away. There is no reason to navigate hallways with your belongings, just pull-up and unload.
These outdoor storage units are ideal for items that are not prong to damage from heat or humidity such as business inventory or lawn equipment. You can even store your RV, trailer or vehicle in one of our large warehouse storage units.
Outdoor vs. Temperature Controlled Storage Units
Drive-up storage units are ideal for quick and frequent access for items that are not sensitive to temperature or humidity. While temperature controlled storage units offer a controlled environment for more sensitive items.
Consider what items you may be storing when determining the type of storage unit that you need. If you are storing furniture, electronics, clothing or documents, a climate controlled unit may be better suited for your needs. If you are unsure of which option better suits you needs, reach out to one of our professional managers at Shield Storage Centers. Their expertise can help guide you for the current and/or future storage needs.
