7. Do I need Climate Controlled Storage?
Wisconsin has extreme cold temperatures that can reach to a minus 30° F in the winter months. These dramatic cold temperatures can cause damage to musical instruments, wood furniture, or books and other valuables. For added protection of your valuables, you should consider renting a climate controlled storage unit. Climate control means that we use reasonable efforts to heat storage units in winter and cool them in summer. They are not humidity controlled. However they are located inside of a building for added protection of stored items.​
