• Flammable or combustible items
• Lawn mowers and motorbikes
• Living things (plants or animals)
• Food
• Irreplaceable personal items
Is there a weight limit?
Yes, all container sizes have the same weight limit of 6,000 lbs. It’s usually easy to stay within the containers weight limit when you’re packing household items. We recommend not packing gun safes, loaded toolboxes and limiting boxes of books.
Will rain or heat damage my STORsquare?
The heat, cold or rain has never hurt a STORsquare or caused it to leak. Our containers are built using high-grade steel and are durable and safe. Unlike some of our competitors, our containers were made to be outdoors.
How do I access my STORsquare when it’s stored at your location?
Access is easy. Just schedule a visit during normal business hours and we’ll have your container ready when you get here. We do ask that you give us a 24 hour heads up.
How big of an area do you need to deliver my STORsquare?
We need at least an extra foot on either side of the container in order to deliver the unit. We also need a clear height of 12ft. which means we can not place a SQUARE underneath most garages or carports.
How do I lock my STORsquare?
A disc lock is ideal, but a normal padlock will do the trick. Customers are responsible for locking their STORSquare. We offer disc locks for purchase.
How is rent calculated?
You pay once for a 30-day increment to keep your STORsquare. If you need your container for another 30 days, you pay again. Rent is not prorated and you can continue paying rent as long as you need.
What about insurance for my belongings?
STORSquare doesn’t provide any insurance for your items. However, many homeowners’ or renters’ insurance cover stored belongings, so check with your insurance company to see what coverage they offer.
Who is responsible for staying compliant with HOA and city rules?
The customer is responsible for understanding their HOA and city rules. Please notify us of any regulations about unit placement prior to delivery of your SQUARE.
Where will you park my STORsquare container?
We like to say, “If it fits, it sits.” If the delivery driver can not safely and effectively place the STORsquare where you request, we will work with you to come up with a convenient and feasible plan B for the placement of the container. Remember, it is your responsibility to ensure the placement is compliant with your HOA, city, or other local ordinances.
Will you help me pack or unpack my STORsquare?
While we don’t provide loading or unloading services, we can provide a list of local companies that do.
How long can I keep my STORsquare container?
However long you need. If your new home isn’t ready on time or you just want more time to unpack, you can keep renting your STORsquare in 30-day increments until you’re ready for it to be picked up.
