Climate Controlled Storage in Arkansas

What Belongs in a Climate Controlled Unit
If it's made of natural material, holds electronics, or would be expensive or impossible to replace, it's worth the climate controlled unit. Here's what we'd put inside one.
- Wood and antique furniture Swells, warps, and cracks as moisture moves in and out of the grain.
- Mattresses and upholstery Padding and fabric hold damp air, and mildew is permanent once it sets in.
- Electronics and appliances Condensation collects on internal components and heat shortens their life.
- Photos, documents, and books Paper curls, pages stick together, and ink fades in heat and humidity.
- Artwork, vinyl, and film Canvas stretches, records warp, and negatives degrade with temperature swings.
- Musical instruments Wooden bodies crack and nothing holds its tuning through big swings.
- Clothing, leather, and textiles Leather dries and cracks, and fabric picks up musty odors that don't wash out.
- Business inventory and records Product samples, paper files, and anything you can't afford to open ruined.

Climate Controlled FAQ's
Is climate controlled storage worth the extra cost?
If you're storing anything made of wood, fabric, leather, or paper, or anything with electronics inside, yes. The price difference over a few months is almost always less than replacing one damaged piece of furniture.
Does climate controlled storage control humidity, or just temperature?
Both. Temperature gets the name, but humidity control is what protects against mold, mildew, rust, and warping — which in Arkansas is often the bigger threat.
Are climate controlled units always indoors?
Yes. Climate controlled units at U Storage are inside an enclosed, secured building, which is what makes maintaining the temperature and humidity possible — and gives you the added security of controlled building access.
Can I access my climate controlled unit whenever I want?
Yes — and there's no extra charge for 24/7 access at U Storage.
