Storing for Restorers (and Collectors)
Is it Spring Yet? We may be in the depths of winter, but if you’re a classic car enthusiast (like me), you’re already dreaming of spring and your first spin around the block – once the snow and gravel is gone, of course. Until that time, however, you’ve got a shed or garage that’s being used 24/7 to store your classic vehicle. Let’s say you have another project on the go – are you thrilled to push your ride into the snow to free up space to work? I didn’t think so.

Here are even more reasons why Uncle Bob’s Self Storage is a great solution for storing your classic cars: Security: Uncle Bob’s Self Storage is equipped with security fencing, cameras, alarms, and indoor and outdoor lighting. Access to the bays are restricted to those with the proper clearance, and all visits are logged. You can hibernate soundly knowing that your wheels are well-protected. Out of the Elements: Where indoor home storage can be inconvenient, we all know that outdoor storage can expose your car to rain, snow, hail, UV damage or the occasional bird dropping – even with a proper cover.
