Frequently Asked Questions: Portable Storage Containers
Q: How big is a Door To Door portable storage container?
A: Exterior: 5 feet wide x 8 feet long x 7 feet tall
Interior: 4 feet 10 inches wide x 7 feet 9 inches long x 6 feet 7 inches tall.
Q: Will my large household items fit inside a Door To Door container?
A: Most furniture will easily fit into Door To Door portable storage containers. Our portable storage containers easily accommodate a California King sized mattress (the largest standard size), but you should measure your sofa to ensure that it does not exceed 7 feet 9 inches in length.
Q: What are Door To Door storage containers made of?
A: Our portable storage containers are constructed of pressure treated 3/4 plywood. This is the most breathable material available that also ensures the security of your stored belongings. While at your location, the container has a water-resistant vinyl cover, which is removed while the container is stored in the controlled environment of our storage center.
Some companies use metal or plastic storage "pods" that don't breathe well, which can greatly increase the chances of moisture build-up and the build-up of mold and mildew.
Q: Do you have larger portable storage containers?
A: No. Our single-size, compact portable storage containers have proven to be very popular with customers because:
- They enable you to store individual rooms in separate containers, rather than mixing the contents in one larger container.
- Our storage containers can be fully and tightly loaded for greater stability during transport.
- Our portable storage containers can usually be dropped off for loading anywhere a car can be legally parked.
Q: How do I determine how many portable storage containers I will need?
A: Door To Door portable storage containers hold approximately one average room to a room-and-a-half of furniture or 40 to 50 medium-sized moving boxes. Contact a Door To Door Storage Specialist at 888-366-7222 for assistance on estimating your particular container requirements. If you order more storage containers than you end up needing, you will receive a full credit for the unused containers. We can also stagger the delivery times of multiple storage containers.

A: You can access your portable storage containers at your local Door To Door storage center. Please call our office at least two hours in advance, so we can have your storage containers available for you.
