With summer temperatures frequently soaring into the triple digits and winter nights that dip below zero, you’ll need a self-storage unit that can withstand the high-highs (recorded highs of 105°F) and the low-lows (recorded lows of -29°F).
With this in mind, you may be wondering: Which storage option can handle Denver’s extreme weather? We’re here to guide you to the ideal solution. Whether you need storage for household items, an RV, or a boat, we offer secure and weather-resistant storage facilities in Denver, CO tailored to meet all your needs.
For commonly stored household items (clothes, books, tools, kitchenware, decorations, etc.) not sensitive to temperature, we’d recommend one of the following:
In Denver, temperatures can start off in the 50s and end up in the 80s by the end of the week. Fortunately, commonly stored items like clothes, books, tools, kitchenware, and decorations are robust enough to withstand temperature fluctuations. For these items, which do not require special climate controls, we suggest you rent one of the three options:
Option #1: A Residential Garage (through Neighbor.com)
Here’s why: This option is ideal for Denver residents seeking a secure, easily accessible space close to home. Garages available to rent on Neighbor provide ample space and protection for your items without the premium cost of traditional storage units.
Option #2: A 10'x10' Storage Unit
Here’s why: These unit sizes are widely available across Denver storage facilities. In a 10’x10’ unit, you’ll be able to fit all of the furniture, dishes, and clothes you previously stored in your two-bedroom apartment in downtown Denver.
Option #3: An Unfinished Basement or Spare Bedroom
Here’s why: These spaces are great for items that don’t require climate-controlled conditions and are especially cost-effective. Find spaces through Neighbor’s online platform.
Pro tip: Don’t spend extra money on climate-controlled storage unless it’s specifically recommended for the item you’re storing.
For Temperature-Sensitive Items (Furniture, Work Documents, Linens, Electronics, Musical Instruments, etc.), We Recommend:
For items that are sensitive to temperature and humidity fluctuations, we recommend a climate-controlled space (between 55°F and 85°F) like these:
A 10’x10’ Indoor-Access Climate-Controlled Unit
Here’s why: These climate-controlled units are designed to maintain stable conditions year-round with temperatures kept between 55°F and 85°F and regulated humidity levels. It’s important to note that unlike basic temperature-controlled units, these climate-controlled spaces offer comprehensive protection against both temperature extremes and moisture.
A 10’x12’ Spare Bedroom
Here’s why: The average indoor temperature in most homes ranges from 68°F to 76°F (which meets the criteria for “climate-controlled storage” defined by temperatures between 55°F and 85°F).
Choosing the right storage option for temperature-sensitive items can extend their lifespan. On average, climate-controlled storage will cost anywhere from 25% to 40% more than typical storage.
Storing Vehicles in Denver: Finding the Right Space
Need car storage, RV storage, boat storage, or other recreational vehicle storage? Here are the recommended unit sizes for each vehicle type:
Motorcycles, E-Bikes, ATVs, Jet Skis, etc.: A 10’x10’ Unit
Here’s why: These units are typically sufficient for these smaller vehicles. These units offer a secure and compact space protecting your equipment from the elements and theft.
Car Storage
Here’s why: For standard-sized cars, we recommend a 10’x20’ unit or larger, with a 10’x30’ unit being ideal for easy maneuverability.
RVs, Boats, and Trailers: A 20’x50’ Unit
Here’s why: This size allows for not only storage but also enough room to maneuver your vehicle safely in and out of the space.
Important Consideration for Denver Vehicle Storage:
- Drive-Up Access: Given the restrictions at many indoor-access facilities, we recommend choosing drive-up units for all types of vehicle storage.
- Height Restrictions: When considering a covered spot, you’ll want to make note of any height restrictions for your vehicle.
- Facility Policies: Always confirm with the storage facility to ensure they accommodate vehicle storage, especially for units sized 10’x20’ and larger. While some facilities may restrict car storage in these units, alternatives such as canopied parking lots may be available, providing some level of protection against Denver’s unpredictable weather.
Cost of Self Storage in Denver, CO: Traditional vs. Peer-to-Peer
In Denver, CO, the cost of living is now 11% higher than the national average. Denver self-storage is but one of many costs on the rise. What’s worse is that many traditional self-storage websites leave potential renters in the dark, instructing them to contact the facility directly for pricing information, which can be a hassle.
Peer-to-peer storage marketplaces like Neighbor do things a little differently, proudly displaying the prices on their listing pages. That way, you don’t have to make a phone call or perform any guesswork regarding costs.
Peer-to-peer storage options like Neighbor are not only more transparent but are also generally up to 30% cheaper than traditional storage options. For example, in Denver, a typical 5’x5’ unit at a traditional storage facility could cost about $85 per month. However, the same size space is available through Neighbor for around $35 a month.
Types of Self-Storage Spaces Available in Denver: Traditional vs. Peer-to-Peer
When considering traditional storage options, you typically have two main types to choose from: indoor access and drive-up storage units:
Indoor-Access Storage Facilities
- Tenants access their units via interior hallways
- Often climate-controlled (temperatures between 55°F and 85°F)
- Intended solely for storing personal or business items and are not suitable for vehicle storage
Drive-Up Storage Units
- Resemble home garages and feature roll-up doors
- Allow renters to drive directly to their unit for easy loading and unloading
- Leave you exposed to the elements when unloading/loading your items (For example, if you visit a storage unit during an infamous Denver snowstorm, you may end up drenched, so bring a jacket with a hood)
As for sizes, here’s what you’re usually dealing with:
- 5’x5’
- 5’x10’
- 10’x10’
- 10’x15’
- 10’x20’ (Ideal for large furniture and vehicle storage)
- 10’x30’ (Ideal for vehicle storage)
- 10’x40’ (Ideal for vehicle storage)
On Neighbor’s peer-to-peer marketplace, Denver residents enjoy access to a diverse array of storage options such as:
- Private residential garages
- Sheds
- Spare rooms
- Basements (unfinished or finished)
- Garages
- Driveways
- Vacant lots
It's important to note that Neighbor's platform isn't limited to just residential spaces. We also offer traditional storage units similar to those found on other platforms but at prices that are typically 30% lower.
As you explore the best storage solution for your needs in Denver, keep these things in mind:
- Denver regulations prohibit using storage units as living or working spaces.
- The most commonly selected size for a storage unit in Denver is 10’x10’.
- The cost of storage is influenced by the unit's location, size, and the amenities it offers.
Drive-Up Storage Units
Right for You If:
- You Have Very Specific Size Requirements: These units are perfect if you need a storage space with exact dimensions such as 10’x10’.
- You Don’t Mind Making Multiple Trips: If you mind making multiple trips and spending anywhere from 30 minutes to an hour at your storage facility, this option could work.
- Easy Loading/Unloading is at the Top of Your Wishlist: With a drive-up unit, it’s as simple as pulling your car up to your assigned unit. Before you know it, you’ll be within steps of your storage space.
Not Right For You If:
- You’re Storing Valuable Items: These unit types aren’t suitable for high-value items as they’re prone to theft, particularly in higher crime areas (like downtown Denver or near Capitol Hill).
- Climate Control is Essential to You: These units are not climatized, making them unsuitable for items that require temperature control.
- You Want a Unit Close to Home: Typically located in more remote areas, these traditional drive-up units may involve a longer commute.
Indoor-Access Storage Units
Right for You If:
- You want a unit that measures exactly 5’x5’ or 5’x10’: We get it. You don’t want to pay for an extra square foot of storage space you won’t use. If you’re very particular about size, we’d recommend this traditional route.
- You want an extra layer of insurance protection: Denver’s crime rates have reached record highs, so you don’t want to take even the slightest risk. Even if crime isn’t a top concern, weather-related damage might be. In either case, purchasing a storage insurance plan through a facility can put your mind at ease.
- You don’t mind taking several trips: You count that walk down your storage facility’s hallway (boxes in hand) as your daily workout. Even if you have to make multiple trips, you’ll do anything to save any extra buck or two on self-storage.
Not the Right Fit If:
- You want unloading/loading to be a quick process: Even if they’re not climate-controlled, drive-up units are still the more convenient option of the two.
- You’re storing heavy furniture: No one wants to carry bulky furniture into an elevator or down a seemingly endless hallway. Save yourself the backache by storing your items in a drive-up unit.
- You’re on a tight budget: Climate-controlled storage will cost you anywhere from 25% to 40% more than a non-climatized space.
Private Garages
Right for You If:
- You’re willing to pay extra for extra security: While downtown Denver is a hotbed for crime, neighborhoods like Washington Park, Congress Park, Cherry Creek, Park Hill, and Wellshire are considerably safer—so look for residential options there.
- You want a space close to home: If you want a storage unit closer to your Denver home, look for private residential garages in your own neighborhood.
Not the Right Fit If:
- You want to save money on self-storage: While they look similar, private residential garages are still more expensive than drive-up units.
- You want a private storage space: While some hosts allocate one renter per garage, other hosts split private garage spaces into several different storage units (designed for different renters).
Sheds
Right for You If:
- You’re storing items that don’t require climate-controlled conditions: Even if temperatures dip below zero (like they’re known to do in Denver), your garden tools, a basketball hoop, or even your kid’s skateboard won’t be fazed.
- You want to save money on self-storage: Don’t spend hundreds of dollars a month to store items that didn’t cost that much to buy.
Not the Right Fit If:
- You’re storing items that require a dry storage environment like a lawnmower: Sheds are higher-moisture environments compared to enclosed garages.
- You’re worried about pest exposure: If a shed isn’t well-insulated, creatures and critters can enter and rummage through your belongings.
Spare Bedrooms
Right for You If:
- You want climate-controlled storage on a budget: Most hosts will split a spare room into several storage spaces, which will maximize their earnings and save YOU money too.
- You want someone to keep an eye on your belongings: Because this storage space is part of a host’s home, you can relax knowing they’ll go the extra mile to keep your belongings safe.
Not the Right Fit If:
- You don’t want to schedule an appointment to access your belongings: Unless the bedroom has a private entrance (that you’re given a key to), you’ll need to schedule an appointment with the host.
- You don’t want to share the space with other renters: Some of your belongings may be too priceless to justify storing in a communal storage space.
