Long-Term Storage

What is Long Term Storage?

That depends on how you define ‘long term’. Our minimum storage period is four weeks, and there is no upper limit. Whether you need a storage space for a few months or several years, Blue Bear Self Storage has the perfect solution.

That’s what makes our self-storage solution ideal for a wide range of customers, from growing businesses to downsizing empty-nesters and everyone in between. We make both long and short term storage easy.

Who Uses Our Long Term Storage Solutions?

Many people use our storage facilities for various reasons. Some clients need long-term storage because they are selling their home or working abroad and need a space to safely load, store, and collect their furniture. Others use our facilities to keep heirlooms or items they’ve inherited but have no room for at home, ensuring these items are protected from the elements.

Businesses use our storage solutions to house stock, documents, or furniture, with the flexibility to access these items whenever needed. Our services not only free up much-needed office space but also enable frequent access. Additionally, many clients store valuable sporting equipment or outdoor tools, knowing they are secure with us.
