What Is Covered Breezeway Storage?
When searching for the perfect storage unit, it's tempting to concentrate on the basics: the size, the location, whether your unit has climate control or drive-up access. But there's another feature that doesn’t always get the spotlight...and really should. We're talking about covered breezeway storage, like the kind you can find at Lockaway Storage - Robison Rd.
Read on to find out exactly what covered breezeway storage is and why it might be the perfect answer for your storage needs.
What Is a Covered Breezeway?
A covered breezeway is an open-air, drive-up corridor that’s protected from the elements. Imagine a row of storage units with a roof over the drive aisle—that's the breezeway. If your storage unit is in a breezeway, you'll be able to pull your vehicle right up to your unit like you would with standard drive-up storage—with one key difference: you’re shaded and protected from the weather while you unload.
Covered breezeway units are usually accessed through wide, high-clearance passageways that are open on either end, keeping them well-ventilated and making it easy for even the largest of vehicles to drive right up to the unit.
Benefits of Covered Breezeway Storage
1. Protection From the Elements
Rain, snow, and strong sun are no match for the protection of a breezeway overhang. The roof overhead keeps you and your belongings dry and comfortable while you're packing and unpacking your unit, whether you're dropping by your unit during an unplanned rainstorm or moving in on a hot summer day.
2. Easier Loading and Unloading
Covered breezeways offer easy access to your unit without the risk of exposure to the elements. This is great when you're transporting bulky furniture, electronics, or delicate heirlooms that can't get wet. Besides, no one likes sweating through the move-in process in the heat of summer! A covered breezeway offers some relief from higher temperatures.
3. Added Comfort Without Climate Control Costs
Although storage units with breezeway access aren't always climate-controlled, they still provide a more pleasant experience than completely outdoor drive-up units. Shade and airflow make a big difference during hot days, especially if you're spending a lot of time organizing or loading and unloading your unit.
4. A Cleaner, More Maintained Environment
Storage units with breezeway access are less likely to gather dust, and anything you store in one of these units is protected from direct exposure and weather-related wear and tear. With a covered breezeway unit, your things—as well as your storage unit—will stay cleaner for longer.
5. Ideal for Frequent Access
If you plan to visit your unit frequently, covered breezeway units make your check-ins faster and simpler. You won't have to worry about frying in the heat of a summer afternoon, or dragging boxes and furniture through puddles leftover from an unexpected rainfall.
Is Breezeway Storage Right for You?
Covered breezeway storage units are good for anyone storing:
- Furniture and household items
- Business inventory and commercial equipment
- Seasonal items, like patio furniture or holiday decorations
- Personal items you want easy access to
- Anything you don't want to move in the rain, snow, or extreme heat
Covered breezeway storage is the perfect meeting point between indoor climate-controlled units and standard drive-up units. If you don't need complete climate control, save money and enjoy the convenience and protection from the elements that a covered breezeway offers.
If you're looking for a storage unit that works as hard as you do while also keeping you out of the elements, ask your storage facility about covered breezeway options. You might just find your perfect storage match.
