While shipping containers provide a robust enclosure for transporting or storing cars, the risk of rusting remains if specific conditions within the container are not managed. Condensation is a primary concern, as it can occur when temperature variations lead to moisture accumulation inside the container, mainly if it is not adequately ventilated or climate-controlled. To mitigate this risk, it’s essential to ensure that the container is watertight and that measures are in place to absorb or reduce moisture. This might include using dehumidifiers, installing ventilation systems, or applying protective coatings and rust inhibitors directly on the vehicles. Covering the cars with vapour barrier materials or specially designed car covers can also protect against moisture and dust, preserving the vehicle’s condition during storage or transportation.
To store a classic car long-term, park it on jack stands to relieve tire pressure, change the oil, and use a car cover. Store it in a climate-controlled area, if possible, and periodically run the engine to prevent mechanical issues.
Yes, you can store cars and boats at certain self-storage facilities that offer outdoor or indoor vehicle storage units. It’s important to check the size and height of the unit to ensure that it can accommodate the vehicle. RVs will be too big for indoor storage, but there are lots of outdoor storage facilities that are able to store RVs. Some facilities also restrict the types of vehicles that can be stored. Always check with the storage facility first to ensure the unit is large enough for your needs.
Storing a summer car in a storage unit is a practical solution for protecting the vehicle during the off-season. When choosing a storage unit, look for a suitable facility that offers enough space to accommodate your car comfortably. Consider opting for a climate-controlled unit, as it helps maintain stable temperature and humidity levels, which are beneficial for preserving the vehicle’s condition. Before storing the car, take the necessary preparation steps. Perform routine maintenance tasks, such as changing the oil, topping off fluids, and inflating the tires to the recommended pressure. Clean the car inside and outside to remove any dirt, debris, or potential contaminants. Consider covering the vehicle with a breathable car cover to protect it from dust and potential scratches. If possible, lift the car off the ground using jack stands to relieve tire pressure and prevent flat spots.
Additionally, disconnect the car battery or use a battery maintainer to ensure it remains charged. Position the car in the unit carefully, leaving enough space for ventilation and easy access if needed. Regularly check on the vehicle during storage to ensure it remains in good condition. Following these guidelines, you can safely store your summer car in a storage unit and protect it until the following season.
