Why Drive-Up Works For Everyday Storage

Drive-up storage is straightforward. Park beside your unit, open the roll-up door, and load. There are no elevators or long hallways. That makes it ideal for frequent visits, seasonal gear, small business inventory, tools, and apartment moves. The site is monitored with security cameras, and customers mention the quiet, convenient setup and reasonable rates in recent reviews. It is a practical choice when you want value and speed.


Current Unit Sizes and What Actually Fits

All units here are ground floor, outdoor, and not climate controlled. That is perfect for most standard items when you pack thoughtfully. Use these real-world fit notes to pick the right size.


5×12

Great for a studio or a well-packed one-bedroom set of basics. Think one mattress set, a small sofa or loveseat, a dining nook, boxes, and a few small appliances. It also works as a tidy gear locker for tools, ladders, totes, and seasonal décor.


10×10

The classic “half-garage.” Typically handles a one- to two-bedroom apartment. Sofa and chairs, bedroom set, dresser, dining table and chairs, several large boxes, plus a bike or two. Many small businesses use a 10×10 for inventory, overstock, or event booths.


10×12

A touch more breathing room than a 10×10. That extra depth helps with awkward items like sectionals, tall wardrobes, refrigerators, or stacked file boxes. Good choice if you want aisle space to access everything without pulling items out.


10×20

Comparable to a standard one-car garage. Fits most two- to three-bedroom households, or a mix of furniture, appliances, and large hobby equipment. This size is also common for vehicle storage like a car, small trailer, or light fishing boat, subject to the facility’s rules.


When Drive-Up Is The Right Fit

Choose drive-up, non-climate units when you want fast access, ground-floor loading, and strong value. Furniture, tools, metal items, plastic totes, sports gear, patio sets, and most household goods do well when stored correctly. If you need different features or unit types, check the Rowesville location a few minutes away.


Smart Packing For Non-Climate Units In South Carolina

Our climate can be warm and humid, so pack to protect. These basics go a long way.

  • Use sturdy plastic totes with tight lids for fabrics, books, and small electronics accessories.
  • Elevate items on pallets or plastic risers to promote airflow and keep things off the floor.
  • Cover furniture with breathable cotton sheets instead of plastic wrap so moisture does not get trapped.
  • Wipe down appliances and leave doors slightly ajar. Add a box of baking soda in fridges or freezers to keep them fresh.
  • Add a few moisture absorbers inside sealed totes or wardrobes.
  • Label every side of each box. Create a simple aisle down the center so you can reach items without unloading the unit.
  • Visit monthly to check, rotate, and keep everything in great shape.


Vehicle Storage Basics

The larger drive-up units can accommodate vehicles. Before you roll in, confirm the size and clearance with the office. Bring registration and proof of insurance, place a drip pan if needed, and disconnect the battery for longer stays. Store tires upright, and avoid stacking heavy gear on soft body panels. If you are not sure, call and we can walk you through it.
