Local know-how

Why storage type matters in Lubbock

West Texas weather is hard on stored belongings. Here is what you are protecting against.

Summer heat

Triple-digit days turn a metal unit into an oven. Candles, vinyl, and electronics take the hit.

Hard freezes

Winter cold snaps crack wood, split leather, and freeze anything with liquid in it.

Dust storms

Spring wind pushes fine dust into every gap. Indoor, sealed units keep it out.

Hail

Uncovered RVs, boats, and cars are exposed. Covered or enclosed spaces are worth asking about.

Common questions

Do I really need climate control in Lubbock?

For wood furniture, electronics, photos, papers, or anything you would be upset to see warped or faded, yes. For tools, totes, and patio furniture, a drive-up unit is usually fine. Our West Texas climate guide explains why.

What size unit do I need?

A 5x10 fits a studio or dorm room, a 10x10 fits about one bedroom, and a 10x20 fits a two to three bedroom home. Our size guide has more detail.

Can I store a car in a regular unit?

Some locations allow a vehicle in a 10x20 or larger drive-up unit. Policies vary, so call the location first.

What can I not store?

Food, anything flammable, and anything alive are off limits everywhere. Each location can share its full list.
