Garage Monkey

What is the cheapest way to organize your garage?

While DIY solutions with plastic bins and simple shelving can be an inexpensive start, they often lack durability and fail under heavy loads over time. The "cheapest" initial option may lead to costly replacements and a perpetually disorganized space. The most cost-effective solution in the long run is a one-time investment in a professional, high-quality system. Our heavy-duty shelving, overhead racks, and cabinets come with a lifetime warranty, meaning you buy it once and it's done forever. This approach saves you money and frustration compared to both flimsy DIY setups and the endless monthly drain of a self storage unit.

Can I sleep in my storage unit during the day?

No, you absolutely cannot. It is illegal, against the policies of all self-storage facilities (from Public Storage to local operators), and extremely unsafe to inhabit a storage unit. These units lack proper ventilation, plumbing, and safety features for human occupancy. This question highlights the ultimate benefit of our services: we give you convenient, secure storage right at home. With a Garage Monkey system, you have 24-hour access to your belongings just a few steps from your door, completely eliminating the inconvenience and restrictions of an off-site unit.

Is a 10x20 storage unit big enough for a car?

Yes, a 10x20 storage unit is roughly the size of a standard one-car garage and can typically fit most cars, trucks, or SUVs. The more important question is, why should you pay a monthly fee for car storage or vehicle storage in an off-site lot when you have a garage at home? Our mission is to help you reclaim your garage for its intended purpose. By efficiently using your vertical space with overhead racks and wall-mounted shelving for your other items, we clear the floor so you can park your car, boat, or motorcycle securely at home.

What items should not be stored in a garage?

In a typical, non-climate-controlled garage, you should avoid storing items sensitive to extreme temperature swings and humidity. This includes photos, important documents, electronics, leftover paint, and delicate fabrics. However, our solutions can help mitigate these risks. For instance, our professional-grade, sealed garage cabinets provide significantly more protection from dust, pests, and moisture than open shelves or a basic, non-climate controlled drive-up storage unit. For your most precious items, an indoor, climate-controlled space is always best, but for everything else, our systems offer a superior level of protection.
