Can I run my business out of a storage unit?

Units are for storage and staging — inventory, tools, materials, equipment, and records. Operating a workshop, retail counter, or office inside a unit isn't permitted under the lease. Most business renters use us as low-cost overflow: contractors stage materials between jobs, e-commerce sellers hold inventory, and offices archive records.

Do the units have electricity or power outlets?

No — units don't have outlets, so equipment can't be plugged in or charged inside. The facility, drive aisles, and climate-controlled hallways are well-lit, and motion-activated LED lighting covers the interior corridors.

What size works for contractor tools and materials?

The 10×30 pull-through is the contractor favorite: roll-up doors on both ends (9 ft wide × 8 ft tall) mean you drive in one side and out the other — no backing a loaded trailer out of a single-door bay. A 10×20 drive-up handles a full trade setup: ladders, scaffolding, tile, lumber, and boxed fixtures with room to walk the aisle.

Is climate-controlled storage worth it for business records and inventory?

For paper records, electronics, furniture inventory, or anything damaged by heat, yes. Columbia Basin summers exceed 100°F inside standard units; our climate-controlled building holds a stable range year-round, which protects documents and resale stock. Interior hallway access with free flatbed carts makes box runs quick.

How does this compare to renting a warehouse?

A small commercial warehouse in the Tri-Cities typically means a multi-year lease, triple-net charges, and utilities. A storage unit is month-to-month with one flat rate — scale up to a second unit in busy season and drop it when things slow down. For storage-only needs, it's a fraction of the cost of warehouse rental.

When can I get to my equipment?

Gate access runs 6 AM to 10 PM every day with your personal keypad code — early enough for first jobs, late enough for evening restocks. No appointments needed.
