It depends on how much you are storing and how you plan to use the space. As a general guide, a small unit handles the contents of a dorm room, a few pieces of furniture, or seasonal decorations and gear. A medium unit fits the belongings of a one or two bedroom home, including appliances and boxes. A large unit works for a full household, a garage worth of equipment, or business inventory.
If you are between sizes, it is usually worth going one size up so you can walk into the unit rather than stacking to the ceiling. Our on-site team in Clayton can walk you through the options and help you match a unit to what you are storing.
Climate controlled storage keeps a unit within a steadier temperature and humidity range instead of letting it follow the weather outside. In our part of North Georgia that matters, because we get humid summers and genuinely cold mountain nights in the winter.
Choose climate control for wood and upholstered furniture, mattresses, electronics, photographs and documents, musical instruments, artwork, and anything else sensitive to moisture or temperature swings. For tools, lawn equipment, plastic bins, and general household overflow, a standard drive-up unit is usually plenty.
Drive-up units are ground-level units you can pull your vehicle right up to, so you load and unload straight from your car, truck, or trailer. There are no stairs, no elevators, and no long hallways to navigate.
They are ideal for bulky furniture, appliances, contractors and tradespeople loading tools into a work van, and anyone making frequent trips in and out of their unit. If you would rather have the extra protection of a conditioned space, our climate controlled and indoor units are right on the same property.
Our Wade Lane location in Clayton offers covered and uncovered boat parking and covered and uncovered RV parking, within easy reach of Lake Rabun, Lake Burton, and Moccasin Creek State Park.
Covered parking adds a roof between your boat or camper and the leaves, limbs, and winter weather, which is especially helpful for soft tops, canvas covers, and finishes you want to keep looking new. Uncovered parking is a practical, budget-friendly option for owners who use a quality cover. Both keep your rig out of the driveway and close to the water for the next trip out.
Security is one of the main reasons people choose a facility over a friend's barn or a spot behind the house. Our property is fully fenced and well lit, with keypad gate access so entry is limited to current customers, and security cameras on site.
Just as important, we have on-site management. Being locally owned and present means someone is around who knows the property, notices when something looks off, and can answer your questions in person.
You will receive your own keypad code for the gate, which lets you come and go during access hours without needing to check in with anyone. Drive-up customers can pull directly to their unit door, and indoor and climate controlled customers enter through the building.
If you have questions about access hours or need help with your gate code, our on-site team in Clayton is happy to walk you through it.
No. Our storage rentals are month to month, so you keep the unit as long as you need it and not a day longer. That flexibility is what makes storage work for short-term situations like a home remodel, a move between houses, a college semester, or a season of boat and RV parking.
If your needs change and you outgrow or no longer need your space, just let our on-site team know.
Yes. You can browse availability and rent directly from our website, any time of day, without waiting for office hours. Online rental is the fastest way to lock in the unit or parking space you want.
If you would rather talk it through with a person first, you are always welcome to stop by or call. We are happy to show you the property and help you pick the right size before you commit.
For everyone's safety, storage units are not the place for hazardous or flammable materials such as gasoline, propane tanks, paint thinner, fireworks, or chemicals. Perishable food, live plants, and animals are not allowed either, since they attract pests and create odors. Units also cannot be used as living or working space.
Nearly everything else is fair game: furniture, appliances, boxes, tools, equipment, business inventory, seasonal gear, and recreational equipment. If you are not sure about a specific item, just ask us before you move it in.
We do, and it is one of the more popular uses of our units around Rabun County. Contractors and tradespeople store tools, materials, and equipment in drive-up units so they can load straight into a work van and get to the job. Online sellers and local shops use units to hold seasonal inventory without paying for commercial square footage.
Being locally owned, we understand the businesses that keep Clayton, Mountain City, and Rabun County running, and we are glad to give them room to grow.
