AUTO, RV, BOAT & TRAILER STORAGE

Princess Anne Storage offers convenient outdoor parking for vehicles, boats, RVs, campers, and trailers at our Princess Anne, Maryland location.

Outdoor storage can be a practical solution when you need to free up space at home, keep an RV or camper off your driveway, store a boat between trips, or park a trailer that you do not use every day.

Before placing a vehicle, boat, RV, camper, or trailer into long-term outdoor storage, take a few simple steps to protect it.

For vehicles, check the tire pressure, fluids, battery, and fuel level. Clean the exterior and interior before storage and remove any food or items that could attract pests.

For boats, make sure the boat is properly winterized when necessary, drain water systems, remove valuables, and use a quality cover designed for outdoor storage.

For RVs and campers, inspect the roof and seals, empty tanks when appropriate, disconnect unnecessary electrical systems, and protect the interior from moisture and pests.

Princess Anne Storage provides uncovered outdoor parking, so customers should use appropriate covers and seasonal preparation when needed.

BUSINESS & COMMERCIAL STORAGE

Businesses often need extra space for tools, equipment, inventory, supplies, furniture, or materials. Princess Anne Storage offers two convenient options for business customers.

Our 8×20 mobile storage containers can be delivered directly to your business, jobsite, or other approved location. The container remains at your location while it is rented, giving you convenient access to your equipment and supplies.

We also offer 8×20 drive-up self-storage containers at our Princess Anne facility for businesses that prefer to bring their items to us.

Mobile storage can be especially useful for contractors, electricians, plumbers, roofers, landscapers, builders, restaurants, retailers, and other businesses that need secure additional storage space.

• Tools and equipment
• Building materials
• Seasonal inventory
• Restaurant equipment
• Retail inventory
• Office furniture
• Landscaping equipment
• Construction supplies

Princess Anne Storage does not provide package receiving, inventory management, document pickup, or delivery services. Customers maintain access to and control of their own stored items.

HOUSEHOLD STORAGE

Household storage can help create extra room during a move, renovation, remodeling project, downsizing, spring cleaning, or major life change.

Princess Anne Storage offers 8×20 mobile storage containers delivered to your property as well as 8×20 drive-up self-storage containers at our Princess Anne facility.

A mobile container allows you to load your belongings at your own pace without repeatedly driving back and forth to a storage facility. The container stays at your property while it is rented.

Our self-storage option is ideal for customers who prefer to bring their belongings directly to our Princess Anne location and access their container there.

•  Furniture
• Appliances
• Boxes
• Seasonal decorations
• Household goods
• Tools
• Outdoor equipment
• Clothing
• Garage items

Our containers are not climate controlled. Items that require strict temperature or humidity control may be better suited for a specialized climate-controlled facility.

MILITARY STORAGE

Military members and their families may need temporary storage during deployment, relocation, training, or other assignments.

Princess Anne Storage offers convenient 8×20 self-storage containers at our Princess Anne location as well as 8×20 mobile containers that can be delivered to an approved property.

Our self-storage containers provide drive-up access, making it easy to load and unload household belongings, furniture, boxes, tools, and other items.

Mobile storage may be useful when belongings need to remain at a home or property while someone is away.

We also offer outdoor parking for certain vehicles, boats, RVs, campers, and trailers.

Princess Anne Storage containers are not climate controlled, so highly temperature-sensitive items should be stored accordingly.

PACKING TIPS & RECOMMENDED SUPPLIES

Good packing can help protect your belongings and make better use of your storage space.

Use strong boxes whenever possible and avoid overloading them. Heavy items should go in smaller boxes, while
lighter items can be placed in larger boxes.

Label each box clearly so you know what is inside and which room it belongs to.

•  Strong cardboard boxes
• Plastic storage totes
• Packing tape
• Bubble wrap
• Furniture blankets
• Mattress covers
• Plastic wrap
• Labels and markers

Place heavier boxes on the bottom and lighter items on top. When packing an 8×20 container, leave a small walkway when possible so you can reach items stored toward the back. Princess Anne Storage does not necessarily sell packing supplies, so customers should obtain any boxes, wrapping materials, or other packing products they need before loading.

STORAGE DURING A MOVE

Storage can make moving less stressful by giving you extra space while you organize, pack, sell a home, or prepare another property.

Princess Anne Storage offers 8×20 mobile storage containers that can be delivered directly to your property.

The container is delivered empty and remains at your location while it is rented. You can load and unload your belongings at your own pace.

When your rental is finished, the container must be empty before Princess Anne Storage picks it up.

We do not transport loaded containers from one property to another, and we do not move loaded containers to another city or state.

Customers who need storage away from their property can instead use one of our 8×20 drive-up self-storage containers at our Princess Anne location

HOME STAGING & DECLUTTERING

Selling a home often requires removing extra furniture, boxes, decorations, and personal items so rooms appear larger and less cluttered.

A Princess Anne Storage mobile container can be delivered directly to your property, giving you a convenient place to temporarily store household items while preparing your home for sale.

Because the container stays on your property, you can access your belongings whenever needed.

• Extra furniture
• Seasonal decorations
• Garage items
• Boxes
• Children’s items
• Outdoor furniture
• Tools
• Household clutter

Once the home is sold or the staging period is over, simply empty the container and contact Princess Anne Storage for pickup.

STORAGE FOR CONTRACTORS & HOME BUILDERS

Contractors and builders often need secure additional space at a jobsite for tools, supplies, and materials.

Princess Anne Storage can deliver an 8×20 storage container directly to your jobsite or approved property.

Keeping a container at the jobsite can reduce repeated trips to another storage location and keep important tools and materials close to where they are being used.

• Power tools
• Hand tools
• Electrical supplies
• Plumbing supplies
• Roofing materials
• Landscaping equipment
• Building materials
• Jobsite equipment
• Replacement parts

The container remains at the jobsite while it is rented. When the project is complete, the container must be emptied before pickup. If additional storage space is needed, a second 8×20 container may be rented.

HOME REMODELING STORAGE

Remodeling a kitchen, bathroom, bedroom, basement, or entire home can create a temporary need for extra storage.

Princess Anne Storage can deliver an 8×20 mobile storage container directly to your property.

Furniture, boxes, appliances, tools, and household items can be moved into the container while work is being completed.

Keeping the container on your property allows you to access your belongings whenever needed without making repeated trips to an off-site storage facility.

The container stays at your property while loaded.

Princess Anne Storage does not pick up or transport a loaded container to another location.

Once your remodeling project is complete, unload the container and contact us for pickup.

STORAGE UNIT ORGANIZATION

Good organization can make an 8×20 storage container much easier to use.

Before loading, think about which items you may need to access during the rental period.

Place items you expect to use frequently near the front of the container.

Put heavier boxes and furniture on the bottom and lighter boxes on top.

Consider using shelving when appropriate to make better use of vertical space.

Keep related items together and label boxes clearly.

If possible, leave a narrow walkway through the container so you can reach belongings stored farther inside.

Planning the layout before loading can save time later.

CHOOSING A STORAGE LOCK

A quality lock is an important part of protecting your stored belongings.

When choosing a lock for a storage container, look for a strong, weather-resistant lock designed for outdoor use.

Good options may include heavy-duty padlocks and other locks designed to resist cutting, corrosion, and tampering.

Avoid inexpensive locks that may rust or be easily damaged.

Because our storage containers are located outdoors, choose a lock that can withstand rain, humidity, heat, and changing weather conditions.

Customers are responsible for securing their own rented container.

SELF STORAGE VS. MOBILE STORAGE

Princess Anne Storage offers both mobile storage and self storage, giving customers two convenient ways to store their belongings.

Mobile Storage

Our mobile storage containers are 8×20 shipping containers delivered directly to your property or approved location.

You load the container and keep it at your location while it is rented.

Mobile storage is convenient for remodeling, construction projects, decluttering, moving preparation, business inventory, contractor equipment, and temporary household storage.

The container remains at your property while it contains your belongings.

Princess Anne Storage does not transport loaded containers.

When you are finished, empty the container and we will pick it up.

Self Storage

Our self-storage option consists of 8×20 drive-up containers located at our Princess Anne facility.

You bring your belongings to the facility, load your container, and return whenever you need access.

This option is ideal for customers who do not have space for a container at home or prefer to keep their belongings at a separate location.

Both options provide approximately the same amount of storage space. The main difference is whether the container stays at your property or at our Princess Anne facility.

WHAT TO STORE IN A NON-CLIMATE-CONTROLLED CONTAINER

Princess Anne Storage containers are not climate controlled.

They are suitable for many common household, business, contractor, and outdoor items, but customers should consider temperature and humidity when deciding what to store.

• Furniture
• Tools
• Equipment
• Building materials
• Household goods
• Boxes
• Seasonal items
• Outdoor equipment
• Business inventory
• Appliances that have been properly prepared

Items that may require special consideration include sensitive electronics, artwork, certain antiques, important documents, wine, medications, and other items that require stable temperature or humidity. Customers with highly temperature-sensitive belongings should consider whether a specialized climate-controlled facility would be more appropriate.

MOBILE STORAGE

Princess Anne Storage offers one convenient mobile storage size: 8×20 feet.

An 8×20 storage container provides substantial space for household belongings, contractor equipment, business inventory, furniture, tools, and remodeling materials.

We deliver the empty container directly to your property or approved location.

You load the container and keep it on-site while you are renting it.

The container is not transported while loaded.

When you are finished using the container, simply empty it and contact Princess Anne Storage for pickup.

If one container is not enough, an additional 8×20 container may be rented.

An 8×20 mobile container can be delivered directly to your property for convenient access.

Customers who prefer off-site storage can use one of our 8×20 drive-up self-storage containers in Princess Anne.

STORAGE WHILE PREPARING FOR A BABY OR LIFE CHANGE

Major changes in the household often create a temporary need for additional space.

Preparing for a new baby, combining households, caring for a family member, downsizing, or reorganizing a home may require moving furniture or household items out of the way.

Princess Anne Storage provides 8×20 mobile containers and drive-up self-storage options that can help create temporary additional space.

Princess Anne Storage does not pick up loaded containers and transport them to another property or storage facility.

Students who need off-site storage can use one of our 8×20 drive-up self-storage containers instead.

HOW MUCH FITS IN AN 8×20 STORAGE CONTAINER?

An 8×20 storage container provides approximately 160 square feet of floor space and can hold a substantial amount of household or business property.

The exact amount that fits depends on the size of your furniture, boxes, equipment, and how efficiently the container is packed.

For many households, an 8×20 container can hold the contents of approximately three to four rooms, although individual situations vary.

• Disassemble furniture when practical.
• Stack sturdy boxes carefully.
• Use vertical space.
• Store large furniture along the walls.
• Place heavier items on the bottom.
• Keep frequently used items near the front.

If one 8×20 container does not provide enough space, Princess Anne Storage can provide a second container
