Indoor Climate-Controlled Storage on Highway 60, Lake Wales, FL
Climate-Controlled Storage in Lake Wales: Beat the Florida Humidity
Storage at Lake Wales offers climate-controlled storage units with interior hallways at 3249 State Road 60 E in Lake Wales, FL. Climate control helps protect furniture, electronics, documents, and other sensitive belongings from the heat and humidity that come with life in Central Florida. Units range from 5x5 to 10x30.
How Florida heat and humidity affect stored belongings
Lake Wales summers are long, hot, and humid. In a storage space without climate control, that combination can:
- Warp, crack, or swell wood furniture
- Cause mold and mildew on fabric, mattresses, and upholstery
- Damage electronics and their batteries
- Curl, yellow, or stick together paper, photos, and records
- Fade or warp vinyl records, artwork, and collectibles
What should go in climate-controlled storage?
- Wood and leather furniture, including antiques and heirlooms
- Mattresses, upholstered furniture, and bedding
- Electronics, computers, TVs, and gaming systems
- Important papers, tax records, and business files
- Photos, artwork, and collectibles
- Musical instruments
- Clothing and seasonal decorations you want to keep in great shape
Items like lawn equipment, outdoor furniture, and most tools usually do fine in a drive-up unit.
Climate-controlled or drive-up: which is right for you?
Storage at Lake Wales offers both. Climate-controlled units with interior hallways are best for belongings that are sensitive to heat and moisture. Drive-up units with roll-up doors are best when you need to load and unload quickly from your car or truck. Many customers use one of each: a climate-controlled unit for household items and a drive-up unit for tools and outdoor gear.
Climate-controlled unit sizes
- 5x5: boxes, seasonal decorations, files, and small furniture
- 5x10: the contents of a small bedroom or a dorm
- 10x10: a one-bedroom apartment
- 10x15 and 10x20: a two to three bedroom home
- 10x25 and 10x30: a larger home or business inventory
