The storage of vehicles and boats has become increasingly popular in recent years. This is due in part to efforts by many homeowner associations and cities to limit the parking to vehicles and boats outside. Many cities consider them eyesores and do not want them parked on city roads. Boats & vehicles parked outside for prolonged periods can become a congestion hazard over time. Thus many people choose to park boats and recreational vehicles at a self storage. Parking a self storage provides security, access, and convenience. Often times, a person may park a vehicle or boat outside or inside a storage unit. An outside space typically consists of a marked parking spot that is inside a fence and includes cameras and other security equipment intended to protect the vehicle or boat.
Parking a boat or vehicle inside a space provides the ultimate protection. One benefit of being fully enclosed is protection from the elements. Protection from direction sun and rain is very desirable if your vehicle or boat is highly valuable and you want to keep it in mint condition. If you choose to park your boat or vehicle inside a unit you will want to make sure you can have easy access to the unit. Several storage units even have pull-in pull-out access whereas you can pull in and pull straight out never having to backup. These doors are typically only found on larger units but sometimes are found on smaller units.
