A climate-controlled unit is the better choice for belongings that can be damaged by big swings in temperature over months in storage. Renters often choose climate control for:
If most of what you are storing is boxes of everyday household items, yard tools, patio furniture or outdoor equipment, a standard drive-up unit usually does the job at a lower monthly rate.
The choice comes down to what you are storing and for how long. Drive-up units let you pull a car, truck or trailer right up to the door, which makes loading and unloading faster. Climate-controlled units cost more each month, and in return they give sensitive items more protection over a long stay.
For comparison, here are the standard monthly rates for drive-up units (non climate-controlled) at Consolidated Self-Storage:
Some renters split their belongings: a drive-up unit for furniture, boxes and tools, and a smaller climate-controlled unit for electronics, documents and keepsakes. Comparing the two price lists side by side makes it easy to see which setup fits your budget. For a full guide to every drive-up size, read storage units near Willow Spring: sizes and prices.
The two climate-controlled sizes open now cover most household needs:
To pick between them, list your largest pieces first (sofa, beds, dining table, piano, appliances), then add the boxes. Leave a walkway down the middle so you can reach items at the back without unloading the whole unit. If you are storing only a few boxes of documents or a small collection of keepsakes, ask to join the waiting list for a 5x5 or 10x5 climate-controlled unit.
The gate is open daily from 6:00 AM to 9:00 PM, so you can stop by before work or in the evening. The office is open Monday through Friday from 9:00 AM to 5:00 PM and Saturday from 9:00 AM to 2:00 PM, and is closed on Sunday.
The facility is fenced and gated, well lit, and monitored with digital video surveillance cameras. Pest control is in place in all units. A tenant protection plan is also available, and the details are on the facility's Tenant Protection page.
Many climate-controlled rentals start with a move. Storing furniture and electronics during a move gives you room to clean, paint or stage a home, and it keeps them out of the way if closing dates do not line up. Because U-Haul truck and trailer rentals are scheduled in the Consolidated Self-Storage office, you can rent the truck, load your unit and pick up boxes, tape and other moving supplies in one trip.
