No freeze-thaw damage
Wood, leather and laminate expand and split when a unit swings 100° in a year. Ours moves 25°.
Storage type
Climate-controlled storage built for Minnesota, not Missouri.
A heated, cooled and humidity-monitored building that never drops below 55° in February or climbs past 80° in July — so wood doesn't crack, photographs don't curl and electronics start on the first try in spring.
- Held 55°–80° year round
- Humidity logged daily
- Interior units, no outside walls

What climate-controlled actually means
Climate-controlled units sit inside a sealed, insulated building with its own heating and cooling system. You reach them through an interior corridor rather than an exterior door, so your unit never faces the weather directly.
It's the difference between storing something in a spare bedroom and storing it in a detached garage. In a state that swings from -20° to 95° in the same calendar year, that difference decides whether a dresser survives two winters.
- Temperature
- 55°–80° F, held year round
- Relative humidity
- 35%–55%, logged daily
- Access
- Interior corridors, elevators on all floors
- Sizes
- 5×5 through 10×30
Why people choose it
Humidity stays in range
Mold, mildew and that basement smell need damp air. We log humidity every day and dehumidify on schedule.
Electronics survive the winter
Condensation on cold circuit boards is what kills stored electronics — not the cold itself.
Cleaner, quieter access
Sealed interior corridors mean far less dust, road salt and pollen reaching your boxes.
Comfortable to work in
Sorting a unit in January is genuinely pleasant when the hallway is 62° and the lighting is good.
Better for long stays
If you're storing longer than a season, climate control is usually cheaper than replacing one damaged item.
Is this the right pick?
Yes, if…
- You're storing longer than three months, through a winter or a summer
- Real wood furniture, an instrument or anything upholstered
- Photos, documents, artwork or vinyl records
- Electronics, appliances or anything with a circuit board
- Business records or inventory you'll sell later
- You want to sort your unit without wearing a parka
Maybe not, if…
- Yard tools, patio furniture and other outdoor-rated gear
- A short move-in gap of a few weeks in mild weather
- Loading and unloading a full house from a truck every visit — drive-up is faster
- Vehicles, trailers or anything that needs to be driven in

- Is climate control worth the extra money?
- If you're storing anything wood, upholstered, paper or electronic for more than a season in Minnesota, yes. One warped dresser costs more than a year of the difference.
- Is the unit heated and cooled, or just heated?
- Both. Buildings hold 55° as a floor in winter and 80° as a ceiling in summer, with dehumidification running through the humid months.
- Can I drive up to a climate unit?
- No — that's the trade-off. You park at a covered loading door and use our free flatbeds and elevators to reach your unit.
- Do you monitor humidity, or just temperature?
- Both are logged daily at every climate building, and managers can show you the log for your floor if you ask.
- Which buildings have climate units?
- Roseville and Maple Grove are fully interior. Brooklyn Park and St. Louis Park have climate wings alongside their drive-up rows.
- Can I switch from drive-up to climate later?
- Any time there's a unit open. Transfers between units at the same facility are free and don't restart your lease.
