Features and Amenities

What is climate-controlled storage?

For items that may be especially sensitive to extreme weather conditions, climate-controlled storage is the answer. These units remain within a consistent range of temperature throughout the entire year to help certain items fight off damage from warping, tearing, cracking, and fading. No matter how hot or cold it is outside, your items will be kept in a consistent environment with climate-controlled storage. 

What can I store in a climate-controlled unit?

While there aren’t any items that shouldn’t be stored in a climate-controlled unit, there are a few that definitely should in order to give them a better chance of survival. These items include:

Do you offer vehicle storage at Metro Self Storage?

Do you offer boat and RV storage?

In addition to helping you store small vehicles, select locations can also give you the space you need for boat and RV storage.

Rent RV and boat storage just for the season or throughout the entire year at Metro Self Storage.
