Self Storage Units

STORAGE 101: EVERYTHING YOU NEED TO KNOW ABOUT RENTING A SELF STORAGE UNIT

If you are renting a self storage unit for the first time, it is normal to have questions. What size unit do you need? Should you consider climate control? How often will you access your items? At YourWay Storage, our goal is to make your storage experience simple, stress-free, and affordable. We have put together this guide to help you understand the basics so you can choose the right storage solution with confidence.

What Is Self Storage?

Self storage units are secure spaces you can rent to store personal or business belongings. At YourWay Storage, units are available month-to-month, giving you the flexibility to store for a short time or as long as you need.

Unlike portable storage services, where access is controlled by the provider, YourWay Storage gives you full control. You can pack your unit in the way that works best for you, access it during our extended gate hours, and add or remove items whenever you need.

Our storage facilities are designed for convenience, with wide driveways, easy access, and multiple unit sizes so you can find the perfect fit.

Common Reasons People Choose YourWay Storage

Moving

Whether you are relocating across town or across the country, YourWay Storage provides a safe place for your belongings during the transition.

Life Transitions

Major life changes such as downsizing, divorce, managing an estate, or recovering from a disaster are easier with extra space to keep your items secure and out of the way.

Decluttering

If your home or office feels cramped, storing seasonal or rarely used items with us can free up valuable living or work space.

Apartment Living

Small apartments often have limited storage. Renting a unit at YourWay Storage gives you extra room for sports gear, holiday decorations, or furniture you want to keep but do not have space for.

Vehicle Storage

Select YourWay Storage locations offer secure spaces for cars, motorcycles, RVs, boats, trailers, and commercial vehicles.

Home Renovations

Protect your furniture and belongings from dust and damage while remodeling by storing them with us until your project is complete.

Business Storage

From excess inventory to tools and equipment, YourWay Storage is a trusted resource for small business owners, contractors, and local service providers.

College Storage

Students at nearby universities can store their belongings between semesters, during study abroad programs, or when moving between housing.

Military Storage

For active-duty military and their families who move frequently, YourWay Storage offers a dependable place to store personal belongings during relocation.

What You Can and Cannot Store

While YourWay Storage offers secure space for almost anything, certain items cannot be stored for safety and legal reasons.

Allowed Items: Furniture, appliances, electronics, clothing, sporting equipment, business inventory, working vehicles, construction tools, and personal items.

Prohibited Items: Perishable foods, illegal substances, hazardous chemicals, gasoline, propane tanks, car batteries, and anything flammable or combustible.

If you have questions about a specific item, our facility managers will be happy to guide you.

Understanding Storage Unit Access Types

Outdoor or Drive-Up Access

Drive-up units are like having your own personal garage. Park your vehicle right outside the door for quick and easy loading and unloading. These are especially convenient for large or heavy items.

Indoor Access

Indoor units are located inside a secure building. They provide added protection from the weather and are often climate-controlled, making them perfect for temperature-sensitive items such as electronics, furniture, and important documents.
