Storage Unit Basics
Q: What types of storage units does Gibraltar Self Storage offer?
A: Gibraltar Self Storage offers three types of storage: climate controlled indoor units that are heated and cooled year-round, drive-up units for easy loading and unloading from your vehicle, and outdoor storage spaces for vehicles, boats, RVs, and trailers. All units include 24/7 access and security surveillance.
Q: What storage unit sizes are available?
A: Gibraltar Self Storage offers multiple unit sizes ranging from small 5x5 units (about the size of a closet, good for boxes and seasonal items) up to large 10x30 units and outdoor spaces for vehicles and equipment. Visit our pricing page to see all available sizes and current rates.
Q: How do I choose the right storage unit size?
A: A 5x5 unit holds boxes, small furniture, and seasonal items. A 10x10 unit fits a one-bedroom apartment's contents. A 10x20 unit handles a full house or large furniture pieces. A 10x30 unit works for multiple rooms, commercial inventory, or vehicles. Call (734) 559-5555 and the Gibraltar Self Storage team will help you choose the right size.
Climate Control & Weather Protection
Q: Why do I need climate controlled storage in Michigan?
A: Michigan winters regularly drop below freezing, and summer humidity can cause mold and moisture damage. Climate controlled units at Gibraltar Self Storage maintain a stable temperature and humidity level year-round, protecting furniture, electronics, documents, and anything sensitive to extreme temperatures.
Q: What is the difference between climate controlled and temperature controlled storage?
A: Temperature controlled storage only regulates heat, while climate controlled storage regulates both temperature and humidity. In Michigan, humidity control is critical because lake-effect moisture can cause mold, warping, and rust damage even in heated spaces. Gibraltar Self Storage's climate controlled units maintain both temperature and humidity levels.
Q: What items should be stored in a climate controlled unit?
A: Store wood furniture, electronics, leather goods, documents, photos, musical instruments, wine, artwork, and clothing in climate controlled units. Anything you would not leave in an unheated Michigan garage during winter should be in a climate controlled unit at Gibraltar Self Storage.
