Residential Storage FAQs
Do you offer smaller than 20 ft?
Rentals are 20 ft only. For purchases, ask about current 10 ft/40 ft availability.
Are the containers weatherproof and pest-resistant?
Yes. Units are Water Tight, Wind Tight, and Vermin Proof.
Can I keep a rental in my driveway?
Usually, yes. Check municipal bylaws or HOA rules for long-term placements.
How quickly can you deliver?
We schedule fast across North Bay and nearby towns; timing depends on current bookings and your location.
Can you place on soft ground?
We recommend a firm, level surface. We can discuss simple leveling blocks or ties on delivery.
Can I buy now and rent another later?
Absolutely. Many homeowners rent for a reno, then buy later for permanent storage.
What about security?
Use a high-quality lock; we can recommend lock boxes and placement tips.
