Just finished your closing in Mehlville, MO, but your new home isn't ready yet? Don't let the gap between moving dates put your valuable belongings at risk.
Leaving your possessions in a standard shed or a standard, non-regulated garage exposes them to severe environmental damage. In Missouri, weather extremes swing dramatically between July and January. These intense temperature fluctuations force solid wood furniture, like a cherished oak dining set, to constantly expand and contract, leading to irreversible warping, splitting, and cracking.
It isn't just wood that suffers. Delicate electronics, musical instruments, and framed artwork are highly sensitive to these shifts, often resulting in fried internal circuits, warped instruments, and ruined finishes.
A climate-controlled storage unit provides a stable, temperature-regulated environment all year round. Give your valuables a safe place to wait until your next home is ready.
Devon Self Storage offers climate-controlled storage units in St. Louis, MO, for households downsizing to a smaller place and for students at WashU, SLU, or UMSL who need somewhere for desks, bikes, and stereo gear over the summer.
Storage Features at Our St. Louis, MO, Locations
Convenience is king when it comes to finding the right storage space. Our storage facility on Union Boulevard in St. Louis, MO, has covered loading and unloading bays you can pull into. Your furniture comes off the truck under a roof, so a sudden afternoon storm does not soak the upholstery or a box of documents halfway between the tailgate and the door. From there, everything rolls straight into a climate-controlled unit, where the temperature stays steady once the door closes.
Before load-in day, it helps to have sturdy boxes, tape, and furniture covers on hand. Our selection of moving supplies for storage is a good place to start, especially if you are packing a turntable, framed prints, or anything else that needs padding before it goes on a shelf.
Business Storage in St. Louis, MO
Shop owners and office managers around St. Louis tend to run into the same problem: the back room fills up long before the sales floor does. A climate-controlled unit at our Union Boulevard or Lemay Ferry Road storage location gives a local company room for past-year tax files, holiday displays, and seasonal equipment that do not need to sit in a storefront or a rented office.
Putting surplus stock in business storage gives you back floor space you are already paying for, and month-to-month rental agreements let you size up before a heavy sales stretch and scale back once it is over.
St. Louis, MO, Storage Unit Size Guide
A rough inventory comes first when you choose a storage unit. A studio apartment’s worth of furniture needs far less room than a three-bedroom house in Oakville, MO, and paying for square footage you never fill adds up fast. Our climate-controlled units come in a range of unit sizes, and our storage unit size guide shows what typically fits in each one, while our storage questions and answers cover door clearances to give you a sense for what will make it in.
To make the estimate more accurate, measure the largest pieces first, such as sectionals, dressers, and pianos, count boxes by size instead of guessing at a total, and leave a walkway if you plan to visit the unit often.
Affordable Storage in St. Louis, MO
Keeping costs low mostly comes down to renting only what you need, for only as long as you need it. A climate-controlled unit makes the most sense for wood furniture, electronics, and instruments, so matching the unit to what you are storing keeps your monthly bill in check. Our month-to-month rentals mean a summer between semesters or a short gap between closings does not lock you into paying for space after you have moved out. Our customer service team can walk you through current options.
