Big Box Storage Containers

At Big Box Storage, we’re not just another sprawling concrete storage facility in San Diego.  We provide what’s called ‘Portable Storage' to meet ALL your storage needs.  As the name of the service implies, “portable storage” is actually a service in which a storage unit is delivered right to your address.

A Big Box storage unit is your very own personal sized storage locker.  Made of construction grade wood that is mildew resistant, your 'Big Box' will measure in at a whopping 8’ x 5’ x 7’.  That’s enough to hold 2,000 pounds, or roughly the contents of a one and a half rooms. If you’re just packing boxes, the Big Box will hold approximately 50 medium sized packing cartons.
Fun fact – a Big Box can hold 510 basketballs!

Yes!  Your Big Box Storage unit comes with a custom fitted vinyl cover that will protect the Big Box and its contents from the elements whenever the unit is outside of our storage facility.In addition to the construction grade materials used to build the 'Big Box', it is all fully securable and lockable.  You can be rest assured that while your Big Box is on your property, it will be resistant to bad weather conditions, and locked up tight.  Your belongings will be safe and secure.
 

What if I Need More Space?
While the Big Box Storage container only comes in one size - 8’ x 5’ x 7’ (exterior), the convenience and portability of makes it a simple process to simply request another unit.  When we drop off the second unit, we’ll pick up the full unit and deliver it to our storage facility.  Here's a great infographic explaining the portable storage process.
