You may love your narrowboat and life on the water, but do you ever dream of having a little extra space? Storage space (or lack of it, to be precise!) is one challenge we hear about regularly from the narrowboat community.
Our purpose-built storage facility is ideally located in Fenny Drayton between the Ashby Canal and Coventry Canal. This gives easy access to marinas and moorings from Hinckley, Stoke Golding, Market Bosworth and Measham on the Ashby Canal to Nuneaton, Atherstone and Tamworth on the Coventry Canal.
We are an established, family business providing a personal, helpful service. As well as secure, affordable storage rooms we can also take deliveries on your behalf which many boaters find helpful.
Why Self Storage?
In the absence of a garage or garden shed, self storage is the ideal alternative if you live or spend long periods of time on a narrowboat.
Self storage provides a safe place for you to keep possessions that are not needed on a regular basis, such as seasonal items; it also gives you the space to store belongings that have sentimental value, which simply can’t be squeezed onto your narrowboat!
So, while you are cruising the canals, you have the peace of mind that your goods are safe and sound on dry land, ready for you to access when you are next moored close by or back in the area.
We are told by our many narrowboat clients, that the system works perfectly – even better than having their own garage.
About Our Secure Storage Facilities
We offer immaculately clean, temperature and humidity controlled, private, indoor storage rooms.
We have giant lockers and storage rooms that are available in over 20 different sizes. Storage rooms start from the size of a phone box and go right up to the size of a double garage and beyond.
You have your own lock and key, and with the ability to access 365 days a year, you are free to come and go as you please.
Our storage rooms have a PIN code entry system, and are all individually alarmed. In fact, our site has 24-hour CCTV surveillance too with an alarm system that’s linked to the emergency services.
This means that while you’re enjoying beautiful waterway scenery, you won’t have to worry about the security of your possessions.
What to Store?
Some clients choose to rent a small room for storing seasonal possessions, such as summer/winter clothing, or Christmas decorations and personal memorabilia.
Many clients have downsized to a narrowboat from a house. The contents of a house don’t fit onto a narrowboat! Self storage buys people time to sort through possessions and make decisions on what they really want to keep hold of.
We also have narrowboat clients come to us for storage when their boats need a refit.
Flexible Storage Terms
With Extra Room Self Storage, you have flexibility to upsize or downsize your storage room as you need. There are no minimum or maximum rental periods, so you have the freedom to store for as long (or short) as you wish.
Acceptance of Deliveries
Unfortunately, Royal Mail and Amazon don’t usually deliver to the canal banks, especially if you’re on the move! At Extra Room Self Storage, we can accept deliveries for you. Deliveries can then be put into your storage room or a holding room and we will e-mail or text you to let you know.
