Storage type · from $55/mo

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.

Why people choose it

  • 01

    No freeze-thaw damage

    Wood, leather and laminate expand and split when a unit swings 100° in a year. Ours moves 25°.

  • 02

    Humidity stays in range

    Mold, mildew and that basement smell need damp air. We log humidity every day and dehumidify on schedule.

  • 03

    Electronics survive the winter

    Condensation on cold circuit boards is what kills stored electronics — not the cold itself.

  • 04

    Cleaner, quieter access

    Sealed interior corridors mean far less dust, road salt and pollen reaching your boxes.

  • 05

    Comfortable to work in

    Sorting a unit in January is genuinely pleasant when the hallway is 62° and the lighting is good.

  • 06

    Better for long stays

    If you're storing longer than a season, climate control is usually cheaper than replacing one damaged item.

Is climate controlled right for you?

We'd rather rent you the cheaper unit than the wrong one. Here's the honest split.

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

Probably 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

Still unsure? A manager will talk you out of the wrong unit — call (612) 555-0148.

  • 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.
