FAQs about outdoor car storage in Forest Lake
On average a Neighbor outdoor car storage unit in Forest Lake costs $107 per month.
15x15 spaces are the most frequently booked outdoor car storage type in Forest Lake.
Motorcycles and other small vehicles generally require a 5x10 storage space while most cars and trucks will fit within a 10x20. For larger trailers, RVs, and other vehicles you will likely need to pull out the measuring tape as they can require anywhere from 10x40 to 20x60 spaces. Residential driveways offer a range of sizes and are typically affordable and convenient.
We recommend climate controlled storage for most electronics, collectibles, personal items (books, clothing, and photos), and sensitive materials (glass, leather, and metal).
If you live in a dry climate, climate control isn't as much of a concern, though you should still consider temperature's effect on your items.
If you expect freezing temperatures during the period that you plan to store your vehicle, you should definitely consider winterizing your vehicle before storing to prevent unecessary harm to your vehicle.
