Frequently Asked Questions
Storage Unit Costs & Sizes in Burleson
Q: What does a storage unit cost per month?
Here is a breakdown of average monthly rates specifically for Burleson facilities (prices fluctuate based on demand and location):
- 5x10 Unit: $45 – $65/mo (Walk-in closet size)
- 10x10 Unit: $100 – $125/mo (Standard bedroom size; climate-controlled units are on the higher end)
- 10x20 Unit: $120 – $180/mo (One-car garage size)
Note: Many facilities in Burleson often have "Web Rates" or "First Month Free" promos that can drop these prices by 20–30% for the first few months.
Q: How much can you store in a 10x10 storage unit?
A 10x10 unit (100 sq. ft.) is roughly the size of a standard master bedroom. It is the most popular size because it fits the contents of a one-bedroom apartment.
- What fits: A king-sized mattress, a sofa, a refrigerator, a washer/dryer, and roughly 20–30 medium boxes.
- What doesn't fit: It is generally too small for a car.
Q: Can a 10x20 storage unit hold a car?
Yes. A 10x20 unit is approximately the size of a standard one-car garage.- It does NOT fit: Large heavy-duty trucks (like a Ford F-350), large vans, or RVs.
Tip: If you plan to store a car, measure it first! You need a few inches of clearance on all sides to open the door and get out.
- It fits: Most sedans, SUVs, motorcycles, and small pickup trucks.
RV & Vehicle Storage
Q: What's the average cost of storing an RV?
RV storage in Burleson falls into three pricing tiers:
- Uncovered Parking (Open Lot): $50 – $90/mo. This is a designated parking spot on gravel or pavement.
- Covered Parking (Canopy): $120 – $180/mo. A roof overhead protects against hail and sun, but the sides are open.
- Fully Enclosed (Private Unit): $200 – $400+/mo. A garage-style unit with a door. This is the most expensive but offers maximum protection.
Q: What is the best way to store an RV?
The "best" way is Fully Enclosed Climate-Controlled Storage, as it protects tires, seals, and paint from the brutal Texas sun and hail. However, if you are using outdoor parking to save money, follow this checklist:
- Cover It: Use a high-quality, breathable RV cover if you don't have a roof overhead.
- Tire Care: Use tire covers to prevent dry rot from UV rays.
- Ventilation: Crack a roof vent (with a cover) to prevent mold and mildew buildup inside.
- Batteries: Disconnect the batteries to prevent them from draining.
Q: Is vehicle storage worth it?
For most people, yes, especially in North Texas.
- Protection: Burleson sees significant hail and intense sun. Repairing hail damage or sun-baked seals on an RV often costs far more than a year of covered storage fees.
- HOA Rules: Many Burleson neighborhoods (and HOAs) strictly forbid parking RVs, boats, or non-running cars in driveways or on the street.
- Security: Storage facilities offer gated access and cameras, which is safer than leaving a vehicle in an open driveway or field.
