When the temperature drops and the rain doesn’t seem to stop, keeping your belongings safe and dry becomes a real challenge. Garages feel damp, sheds start to leak, and for many households and small businesses across Morecambe and Lancaster, winter storage can turn into a yearly battle with the weather.
That’s exactly where we come in, a local, practical solution designed to take the stress out of storing your things, no matter how unpredictable the season gets.
Winter brings more than cold mornings, it also brings moisture, condensation, and limited daylight, all of which can cause real problems for your possessions.
Furniture and fabrics can absorb dampness, tools start to rust, and stock or equipment stored in sheds or garages can easily get damaged by frost or water leaks. Even simple jobs like loading or unloading become harder when you’re working in the dark or on icy ground.
That’s why secure self-storage in Morecambe isn’t just about creating more space, it’s about protecting the things you value from the worst of the winter weather.
At Big Box Container Storage, every detail of our site is built with year-round protection in mind. Located on White Lund Industrial Estate, our facility serves both Morecambe and Lancaster with weatherproof, floodlit, and fully monitored container storage, supported by a purpose-designed drainage system to help move surface water away from the site efficiently.
Each of our 20ft unit is:
The entire site is floodlit and monitored 24/7 by CCTV and ANPR cameras, giving you peace of mind that your belongings are safe, day and night.
And because all our units are at ground level, you can drive straight up to your container, even in bad weather, with each container positioned slightly raised to prevent waterlogging and encourage natural run-off away from your stored items. No stairs, no waiting, just simple access when you need it most.
For Homeowners:
When your loft is full and the shed feels damp, a container storage unit offers the extra room you need to keep things dry and organised through the colder months. Store outdoor furniture, bikes, garden tools or even boxes of festive decorations, all without worrying about mould or water damage.
For Tradespeople and Small Businesses:
If you run a trade or local business, you’ll know winter slows everything down. Equipment gets wet, stock takes up space, and van storage becomes risky overnight. With container storage in Lancaster, you get a secure, accessible base for your tools and materials, one that keeps everything safe, dry, and ready for the next job.
A little preparation goes a long way. Before you move your belongings into storage, here are a few ways to make sure they stay in top condition:
