Depending on what you plan to store, there are a number of different sized units at your disposal.<\/p>\n<p>If you only need to store some boxes and maybe a bike or longboard, you can rent a 5 x 5 unit. Think of this as your extra closet. And, if you know you&#8217;ll need more space, there are larger units available at your nearest self-storage location.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Outdoor Storage<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Many locations offer outdoor units that allow you to pull right up to the door of the unit. If you&nbsp;need to store large furniture, sports equipment, gardening tools and other heady items you need constant access to, the outdoor units allow for&nbsp;easy loading and unloading.<\/p>\n<h3>Kansas City Climate<\/h3>\n<p>Keep in mind that Kansas City winter temperatures can fall pretty low, so if you&#8217;re storing valuables in the winter, renting a climate controlled unit might be necessary. Again, in the summer, consider the humidity levels.
