4 Advantages of Covered Storage

Posted by Party Barn Boat & RV Storage on

If you’re looking for the safest option when it comes to storing your expensive boat or RV, covered storage is the way to go. It protects your significant investment from the elements, prevents interior and exterior damage, provides invaluable peace of mind and helps preserve the environment, so you can enjoy the open road or water for years to come.

4 Advantages of Covered Storage

  • Sun Damage Prevention: When the harsh sun beats down, it can do irreversible damage to your stored boat or RV. Covered storage protects from the paint peeling, molding damage and interior fading caused by prolonged sun exposure and excessive heat.
  • Tire Damage Prevention: When RV and boat trailer tires are exposed to consistent heat and humidity changes, it can cause premature cracking. This is especially true when they’re stored for long periods of time. Covered storage makes tires less vulnerable and prevents pricey tire replacements down the road.
  • Security: Using covered storage for your boat or RV makes the risk of theft or vandalism next to zero. Covered facilities are secured 24 hours a day and help to ensure the absolute safety of your boat or RV.
  • Environment: Covered storage protects the earth and water from the oil and fuel leaks that come with RV and boat storage. Even a little leak can do a lot of damage, and covered storage helps protect the earth as well as your prized possession.

Boat Storage For Your Protection

Posted by Party Barn Boat & RV Storage on

So, the summer’s end is upon you. It’s been a great one, because as it so happens, you are the proud owner of a boat. This sure can make for some quality family time, as well as has given you the opportunity to invite along some friends. You may have even made a few new friends along the way.

Boat Storage For Your Protection

During the summer, you likely have stored your boat at a campsite, or on a boat dock where you typically direct access to the water. But let’s be realistic. More of these places are just not up and running year-round. They are seasonal.

With that, you are left with a dilemma. Where will your boat storage be for the winter? For most of us, there isn’t room at our place of residence. The fact is that most families already have more than one vehicle in the driveway, and that’s if you are lucky enough to have a driveway. There isn’t enough space to add a boat. In most states, it’s illegal to park a boat on the street, unless it’s attached to a vehicle. Now, who has time to attach and detach the boat every time they have somewhere to go?

We have your solution. At Party Barn Boat & RV Storage, we have you covered. You can choose what works best for you. We offer enclosed , covered  and uncovered storage. We sit on five acres of property, so we are able to house plenty of boats. We are only three miles in either direction of Lake Lavon and Lake Ray Hubbard,  so you don’t have to travel far to get back on the water when you bring your boat back out of storage.

Please contact us for more information on what we offer. We are happy to house your boat until you are ready to enjoy another summer on the waters.

Covered Storage For Your Motor Vehicles

Posted by Party Barn Boat & RV Storage on

Sometimes life throws you a loop and you need to find storage for your vehicles. That can range from RVs to motorcycles, to ATVs, and boats. There are lots of circumstances that bring about the need for covered storage for your vehicles. Here are a few that are common at Party Barn Boat & RV Storage.

Covered Storage For Your Motor Vehicles

  • A Move: Sometimes people live in a place where they have the space to store these extra “toys” and when they have to move, they lose that ability. Whether it is an HOA that doesn’t allow them to park their RV or they simply don’t have enough space anymore, they have to find a new home for their vehicles.
  • A New Purchase: Often customers at Party Barn never intend to store their boat or RV at home. They knew they would be finding a storage solution for their boat or RV when they bought it.
  • The Eye Sore: Some people love their boats, RVs, and ATVs but simply don’t want to see them parked in their yard or driveway. Those vehicles are for adventures and don’t look good outside of their homes.
  • Apartment/Condo Living: Some of our customers live in apartments and still want to have a boat or RV. Just because they don’t have a place to park it doesn’t mean they shouldn’t have one!

These are some common reasons people rent covered or uncovered storage for their vehicles at Party Barn Boat & RV Storage. If any of these situations applies to you, contact us today to see about renting a space to store your vehicles.

The Cut and Dry: 4 Great Aspects of Enclosed Storage

Posted by Party Barn Boat & RV Storage on

Storage is an important aspect of a boat and RV ownership. While covered and uncovered storage offers an appropriate space and some protection, the best option to ensure the safety and durability of your boat is enclosed storage. Before venturing time and money, it’s important to learn what to look for in a quality storage facility.

The Cut and Dry: 4 Great Aspects of Enclosed Storage

4 Great Aspects of Enclosed Storage

1) Illumination

Good lighting not only discourages trespassers, but it also allows easier 24-hour access to an enclosed storage unit. While nighttime access is not a regular occurrence, the ability and option to check, access, or remove your boat or RV at any time, day or night, is a must.

2) Exceptional Security

Fully enclosed storage units offer the highest level of security due to the fact that it’s easier to control all facility aspects including access points and environmental dangers. Generally, in enclosed storage units, access is limited to the key or code holder. It also negates the possibility of trespassers simply “jumping the fence”.

A facility that utilizes security cameras or a full CCTV system (closed-circuit television) is also an indicator of exceptional security. If a unit has a break-in, CCTV offers a great resource to identify the culprit.

3) Winterizing

The ability to control harsh environmental elements during winter months will determine the longevity of your boat or RV. Winterization such as shrink wrapping boats or using antifreeze will help avoid water leaks, hull damage, and mold growth, yet storage plays a lead role as well. Some facilities offer temperature controlled units and others offer year-round access, even in winter storms, heavy rain, and cold temperatures.

4) Variety of Storage Sizes and Styles

While standard storage sizes usually meet most needs, choosing a facility that offers a wide variety of sizes and styles offers more flexibility. If, down the road, you sell, exchange, or buy a new boat or vehicle, having the option to stay with a trusted storage facility is ideal. Building a long-lasting and mutually beneficial relationship with a storage facility is important.

Party Barn Boat & RV Storage is a Texas-based storage facility that focuses on the need for a stand-alone boat and RV needs.

6 Things To Look For When Searching For Boat Storage

Posted by Party Barn Boat & RV Storage on

When you aren’t out on the lake enjoying your boat, dry storage is a great option. If you’re looking for a boat storage facility, you’ll want to make sure to choose a quality facility to store your expensive investment. Below are six things to look for when searching for boat storage.

T6 Things To Look For When Searching For Boat Storage

  • Excellent Customer Service: Excellent customer service. If you have questions or need assistance, you’ll want someone around to help you. You should know the facility’s customer service policies, and don’t accept vague answers about this.
  • Security: Storage security is extremely important. The more security features a storage facility has, the better. You’ll want to look for gated access that requires a code. Code-protected gated access is one of the most effective security measures for storage facilities. Other positive signs are video surveillance systems, alarm systems, and on-site guards.
  • Lighting: Well-lit areas are not only more secure. They also make it easier to access boats after dark. To be sure you may want to check this feature out in the evening to confirm it meets your standard.
  • Credentials: Ask about any specific local affiliations, awards, or licensing the company has. The more credentials they have, the more confidence you can have in the company’s quality.
  • Location: If possible, choose a boat storage facility that is close to the water where you’ll use the boat. Long-distance boat towing can cost more in the long run.
  • Good Curb Appeal: This indicates the property receives adequate maintenance and upkeep, which is a sign of quality and security. The area a storage facility resides in is also important.

Tips For Choosing The Best RV Storage Facility

Posted by Party Barn Boat & RV Storage on

Are you looking for an RV storage facility? Aside from location, it’s important to consider all of your personal storage requirements. When storing your expensive investment don’t just settle. To find exactly what will work for your RV storage needs we’ve compiled a list to get you started.

Tips For Choosing The Best RV Storage Facility

 

Ask Around

Ask RV dealerships in your area for unbiased opinions on local RV storage facilities. As they’re in the RV business, they’re likely familiar with all RV storage companies in the area.

Ask trusted individuals who own an RV. Perhaps you have a friend or family member who also has an RV stored locally. Find out that person’s experience with the company they use.

Security is a Must

Find out what type of security each RV storage facility uses. An electronically controlled access gate, a secure perimeter, and some type of video surveillance.

Company’s Credentials Matter

Check to see how long the company has been in business and reviews from their customers. Word of mouth reputation is always helpful.

 

Pick the Best Spot For Your Needs

If you plan to access your RV often, choose a facility that has available spots near the entrance gate. This will save you the hassle of navigating a large RV around in a storage property.

Party Barn Boat & RV Storage offers covered, and uncovered storage options specifically for RVs. If you have any questions or concerns regarding RV storage, please contact us.

Uncovered Storage is Perfect for Your RV or Boat

Posted by Party Barn Boat & RV Storage on

Owning an RV, boat, or both means you can get out and explore nature. It also means having to find a place to keep them when they aren’t in use. While you may have the perfect spot on your property right now, you may need to store them at some point. Although enclosed storage is ideal, there are three times that uncovered storage is perfect for your RV or Boat.

Uncovered Storage is Perfect for Your RV or Boat

Short Notice – Short Term

Perhaps your family is planning a wedding, family reunion or other event. The event was going to be held elsewhere, but there’s been a change in venue. Your property is perfect, except for the RV parked out back and the boat off to the side. The perfect way for you to be the hero is to rent an uncovered, outdoor storage area for a few days. Your boat and RV will be safely locked in and available for you anytime you are ready to take them home.

When You’re Moving

Moving, whether it’s across town, or across the country, is a tough task. There are so many things to do, inside and outside your old home, and the new one. Make life just a little bit easier during this difficult time and move your RV and boat into an uncovered temporary storage space. Once you get settled in to your new place, you can either take them home, or continue to store them.

If You’re Selling It

Posting a listing on social media, advertising an RV or boat for sale is an excellent way to attract buyers. It can also be a dangerous proposition. Meeting a stranger at your home may not be the best idea. However, if you rent an uncovered outdoor storage space for a few days, or weeks, you have the perfect place to bring customers. Your personal code will let you in the gate whenever it’s convenient for you.

If you’re looking for storage solutions for your RV, boat, jet ski or any vehicle in and around Wylie, Texas, contact us. We understand how much you have invested in your toys and we will help you find the perfect spot.
