Think inside the box

Internal units work well for anyone who needs extra space at home or at work, from students and home movers to growing businesses. They are especially handy when you need storage that feels tidy, protected, and straightforward.

They are also a great fit for people or businesses storing items that do not love damp garages or crowded spaces, like furniture, paperwork, electronics, and seasonal belongings.

Internal units are inside a storage facility, so they offer extra protection from the elements and are better suited to certain items, such as delicate furnishings. They are ideal for household items, business stock, and anything that benefits from being stored indoors.

Outdoor storage containers are accessed from outside and can be convenient for drive-up loading of large items or business equipment.
