Chances are that security is high up on your list of priorities when you’re looking for a storage unit. Whether you’re storing personal belongings, moving boxes or business inventory, you want to make sure your belongings will remain in the same condition you left them, untouched by anyone but you.
Gated storage facilities are one of the safest, most secure options, ensuring that you’ll never have to worry about any of your store items.
Let’s take a look at what makes gated storage facilities such a good choice for all types of storage, as well as how to find a great facility here in Texas.


What is a Gated Storage Facility?

Gated storage offers many benefits over non-gated facilities. As their name suggests, they have a gated front entry that you must pass through in order to access the facility. Every renter and staff member has their own unique passcode to enter the facility.
For extra security, the perimeter of gated facilities is also surrounded by a fence. All these measures ensure that unwanted trespassers are kept out. The only people who will have access to the premises are the ones who should be there.
Standard storage facilities, on the other hand, lack some or all of these security features. The facility is more likely to attract trespassers, vandals and even thieves — something no renter wants to experience.


What are the Benefits of Gated Storage Facilities?


Top Security Features

No matter what you’re storing, you want to ensure that you’re the only one who has access to your belongings. Gated facilities give you that extra reassurance. As well as a gated entry and perimeter fence, these facilities often have thorough security measures.
At Texas Mega Storage, for example, we’re proud of our state-of-the-art security features. We offer:

  • 24/7 security cameras (both PTZ and 4K infrared) around our entire property
  • Security guards watching our property both day and night
  • Onsite management, who can help you out with any questions you may have
  • Secure indoor units with steel doors
  • Well-lit premises at all hours
  • And more!

Our ultimate goal is to keep your items safe and secure, and our security measures ensure that’s possible 24 hours a day.

Protection Against Damage and Theft


When you rent at a standard self-storage facility that has open access to the public, the only thing between your belongings and a potential thief is a simple lock. That’s simply not enough security for most people, especially if you’re storing valuable items.
When you store at a gated facility, only current renters and staff members will have access to the premises. The only people who will be there have legitimate reason to be, meaning far fewer chances of loitering, vandalism or theft.

Perfect for Storing Valuable Items

Have expensive, valuable or sentimental items to store? A unit in a gated facility is a smart choice to help keep everything safe and secure.
Plus, many gated facilities, including Texas Mega Storage, offer both traditional units and climate controlled units. Texas’s hot, humid climate can be extremely damaging to valuable items like antiques, art, vinyl collections and electronics. We recommend choosing a climate controlled unit to ensure that your belongings remain in great condition, no matter what the weather is like outside.

Facilities Offer Convenient Features

Gated storage facilities want their units to be as convenient as possible for renters. At Texas Mega Storage, we offer more than just basic units:

  • Drive-up access: Hauling your belongings up stairs is a real pain, especially when you’ve got lots of heavy items. All our units are on the ground floor, and some have drive-up access. Simply drive up and take your belongings out of your car and into your unit.
  • Moving supplies: At your unit and realize you need an extra box or some packing tape? No need to run to a big box store; we’ve got you covered. Our on-site store is your one-stop shop for all kinds of packing material.
  • Moving truck rentals: We want to make moving day as easy as possible. Our Penske rentals are affordable and convenient.

Great for Business Storage Too

If you’re a locally run business looking for extra space to keep your inventory, spare equipment or tools, a gated storage facility is the perfect solution.
Renting extra office or warehouse space in Texas can be expensive. That’s why many business owners are choosing to go with the flexibility and affordability of a storage unit.
Gated storage makes your life as a busy small business owner easier, especially if you rent at a facility that has customer experience at its forefront. We recommend going with a clean, well-lit facility with 24/7 access, ensuring that you’ll feel confident and comfortable accessing your unit at all hours of the day.


Storage for Vehicles

Gated storage isn’t just about storage units. Some facilities also provide a convenient place to park your vehicles too.
Whether you need a place to leave that extra car in your driveway or a spot to keep your RV or boat for the winter, a gated storage facility offers you the extra protection you need for your biggest investments.
At Texas Mega Storage, we want you to have options. That’s why you can select from both outdoor and covered parking units, or indoor storage units for small vehicles like ATVs and motorcycles — all protected, of course, by our state-of-the-art security features.

Peace of Mind

Perhaps the biggest reason you should choose gated storage is the peace of mind it gives to you. Whether you’re decluttering your home, storing business inventory or looking for a place to store decades-old sentimental antiques, knowing that your storage facility is designed with your security in mind helps alleviate a lot of stress.
