Frequently asked questions

  • Why do Bear's storage units have 12-foot ceilings?

    The 12-foot ceilings provide 50% more vertical storage capacity than standard 8-foot units, letting you stack belongings higher and fit more in the same floor space. This extra height is particularly valuable for storing furniture, stacked boxes, or business inventory without needing to rent a larger footprint.

  • What size storage unit do I need for furniture from a typical bedroom?

    A 5x10 or 10x10 unit typically fits a bedroom's contents including bed frame, mattress, dresser, and boxes. If you're storing multiple rooms or large furniture like sectionals, 10x15 or 10x20 units accommodate more without stacking items floor-to-ceiling. Consider vertical space since units have 12-foot ceilings.

  • How does gated pin access work at Bear's storage facility?

    Each customer receives a unique pin code for the gated entry, allowing 24-hour access to your unit without needing to coordinate with staff. The pin system tracks entry times for security while giving you flexibility to access belongings early mornings, evenings, or weekends on your schedule.

  • What's the difference between a 5x5 and 5x10 storage unit?

    A 5x5 unit offers 25 square feet, roughly the size of a small closet, suitable for boxes, small furniture, or seasonal items. A 5x10 doubles that to 50 square feet—about the size of a walk-in closet—and fits contents from one bedroom including mattress, dresser, and boxed belongings.

  • Do storage units in Auburn, ME need climate control for Maine winters?

    Bear's units feature steel weatherproof construction that protects against Maine's wet springs and cold winters without active climate control. This matters for most household goods, though temperature-sensitive items like electronics, photographs, or musical instruments benefit from indoor storage with more stable conditions.

  • Can you store a boat or RV in a storage unit?

    Boats, RVs, and recreational vehicles fit in larger units like 10x20 or 10x30, available as both indoor units and outdoor parking spaces. Indoor storage protects from weather exposure year-round, while outdoor spaces offer economical options with gated security for seasonal storage between use periods.

  • What's included with 24-hour surveillance at the storage facility?

    The facility uses continuous video monitoring of entry points, driveways, and unit areas combined with gated pin-code access that logs each entry. This dual system deters unauthorized access and provides recorded evidence of facility activity, though it doesn't replace renters insurance for stored belongings.

  • How long can you rent a storage unit at Bear's?

    Rental periods are flexible, from month-to-month for short-term needs during moves or renovations to long-term contracts for ongoing storage. There's no maximum rental period, making units suitable for temporary transitions or permanent solutions for business inventory, vehicle storage, or household overflow.

  • Which storage units have power access for tools or equipment?

    The Auburn location offers select units with electrical power access, designed for contractors storing equipment or businesses needing to charge tools and machinery. Power availability varies by unit, so specify this requirement when selecting your space if you need to run lights, chargers, or small equipment.

  • What should you store on the floor versus on shelves in a storage unit?

    Heavy items like appliances, file boxes, and furniture belong on the plywood floor, which handles substantial weight. Lighter or frequently accessed items work better on shelves to maximize the 12-foot vertical space and keep pathways clear. Avoid placing moisture-sensitive items directly on floors even in weatherproof units.
