What Can I Store in a Self Storage Unit?

You can store almost anything in a self storage unit, including furniture, household items, business equipment, and seasonal items. However, certain items are restricted for safety reasons, such as flammable materials, explosives, and illegal items.

Is There a Minimum or Maximum Time I Can Rent a Storage Unit?

At Blue Box Storage, we offer flexible rental periods. You can rent a storage unit for as little as one week, or for as long as you need. Whether you’re looking for short-term storage during a move or long-term storage for business stock, we can accommodate your needs.

How Secure Are Your Storage Units?
