What Is the Difference Between Standard and Temperature-Controlled Storage?

Standard units do not regulate temperature or humidity. Temperature-controlled units maintain a consistent interior environment year-round, helping protect wood furniture, electronics, artwork, and documents from Virginia's seasonal extremes.

Are There Long-Term Lease Requirements?

No. The facility offers month-to-month leases, which suits renters who are between homes, completing a renovation, or managing seasonal inventory. You rent for as long as you need and move out when you are done.

Can I Access My Unit on Weekends?

Yes. Gate hours extend beyond standard office hours, including on weekends. Office hours differ from gate hours, so the on-site team can confirm the specific schedule when you call or stop by.

Is the Facility Secure?

This storage facility uses gated entry with personalized access codes, on-site management, surveillance cameras, and well-lit driveways. All units are at ground level, so there are no elevators or upper-floor access points to navigate.

How Do I Know Which Unit Size I Need?

A 5x10 typically holds the contents of a small bedroom or a collection of boxes. A 10x10 can accommodate a one- to two-bedroom apartment. Larger units such as the 10x20 and 10x30 handle multi-bedroom home contents or larger commercial needs. The on-site team can help you estimate the right size based on what you plan to store.

Access Hours for Your Temperature Controlled Storage Unit in Richmond

Your unit at Central Virginia Storage is available during gate hours, which run daily from 7:00 AM to 9:00 PM. Office hours are shorter, so plan lease questions and payments for business hours. Gate access continues on weekends, so renters can visit on their own schedule. Every unit sits at ground level, which makes drive-up loading simple at any hour.

Whether your temperature controlled storage unit holds furniture, documents, or business records, the gate schedule gives you time to load, sort, and check your items without rushing. Moving carts are available at no charge for every visit, which makes evening and weekend loading easier for households and small businesses alike.

When Can I Reach My Unit and Who Can Help?

Gate hours are the best time to visit. Office hours differ from gate hours, so call the location ahead of time if you need help with paperwork or lease terms. The Locations page lists each facility's phone number and address, so you can reach the right team quickly.

Storage Unit Sizes Available in Richmond,

VA

Central Virginia Storage offers a range of sizes in Richmond, from small 5x5 spaces for boxes to 10x30 units for larger household contents. Every unit has a 9-foot ceiling and ground-level, drive-up access, so loading takes less time than in multi-level buildings.

Standard units and temperature controlled units are both available. Standard units suit durable goods such as tools, outdoor gear, and seasonal items. Temperature controlled units are the better choice for furniture, electronics, documents, and clothing that can warp, crack, or pick up moisture from Richmond's humid summers.

Which Storage Unit Size Fits Your Belongings?

A 5x5 holds a chest of drawers or a desk, several boxes, and small items. A 5x10 handles a mattress set, a sofa, and a dining set. A 10x10 suits the furnishings of a one-bedroom apartment, and larger sizes such as the 10x20 and 10x30 hold multi-room household contents or a vehicle.

Compare each size against a trailer or moving truck on the Storage Tips and Tools page before you reserve. Our on-site managers can also help you choose the right fit for your Richmond move or business inventory, and they can explain how each lease works from the first visit to move-out day.
