Life in the military is full of movement, flexibility, and change. From deployments and training assignments to permanent change of station (PCS) moves, military families know better than anyone how unpredictable life can be. While those who serve show unmatched strength and resilience, the logistics of frequent moves and separations can add stress. That’s where self-storage comes in.
At Arborstone Storage, proudly serving communities across Arkansas, Texas, and Oklahoma, we understand the unique challenges military families face. Storage facilities like ours aren’t just about extra space; they’re a reliable support system, providing security, flexibility, and peace of mind during every season of service.
Here’s how self-storage makes life easier for military members and their families.
Flexibility During Deployments
Deployments can happen with little warning, leaving families to quickly rearrange living situations and belongings. A storage facility offers a safe, dependable solution when time is short.
- Protecting personal items: Instead of scrambling to sell or move furniture, families can store items securely until they’re ready to use them again.
- Temporary downsizing: Some families choose to live with relatives or in smaller housing during a deployment. Storage makes it easy to adjust without giving up possessions.
- Vehicle storage: For service members leaving for months at a time, keeping a car, truck, or motorcycle in secure storage ensures it’s protected and ready when they return.
With flexible rental agreements, Arborstone Storage provides military families the ability to store belongings only as long as they need, whether it’s a few months or longer.
Supporting Permanent Change of Station (PCS) Moves
Military families often move every few years, sometimes across the country or overseas. These PCS moves can be exciting but also overwhelming. Self-storage bridges the gap between homes and makes transitions smoother.
- Staging a move: Storage can hold belongings while waiting for base housing or a new rental property to become available.
- Handling overlapping timelines: If move-out and move-in dates don’t align, storage ensures nothing gets lost in the shuffle.
- Downsizing for base housing: Not every home offers the same amount of space. Storage facilities give families the option to keep valued items without overcrowding their living space.
For military members in Arkansas, Texas, and Oklahoma, where bases and training facilities are part of everyday life, having a reliable storage option nearby eases the stress of frequent relocations.
A Secure Place for Belongings
Security is a top concern for military families, especially when they’re away serving the country. Storage facilities like Arborstone Storage provide peace of mind with features such as:
- 24/7 surveillance
- Gated access
- Well-lit properties
For sensitive or irreplaceable belongings, climate-controlled storage ensures protection from extreme temperatures and humidity, which is especially important in southern states like Texas and Arkansas. Knowing that belongings are safe allows service members to focus on their duties without added worry.
Helping Families Stay Organized
When a loved one is deployed, families at home often need to adjust living spaces to make things easier day-to-day. Storage offers a way to create more room at home while keeping everything accessible for the future.
- Clearing space for kids: Families can turn a spare room into a playroom or study space by moving unused furniture into storage.
- Organizing seasonal gear: Holiday decorations, camping equipment, or hunting gear can be rotated in and out of storage as needed.
- Simplifying everyday life: By decluttering the home, families can focus on spending quality time together during deployment or training periods.
Storage isn’t just about holding items; it’s about helping families create an environment that works for their changing needs.
Vehicle, Boat, and RV Storage
Military life often comes with travel, and sometimes that means leaving behind more than just household belongings. Storage facilities provide dedicated spaces for vehicles of all sizes:
- Cars and trucks: Secure parking helps protect vehicles from weather and vandalism.
- Boats and RVs: Many service members enjoy outdoor recreation when they’re home. Storage keeps these large investments safe until it’s time to hit the road or water again.
- Motorcycles and ATVs: Small vehicles are just as valuable and deserve safe storage during deployments or moves.
For families in states like Oklahoma and Texas, where boating, camping, and road trips are part of the culture, vehicle storage is an important convenience.
A Community Connection
Storage facilities are more than just a place to keep belongings. For military families, they can serve as a touchpoint of stability in times of transition.
- Military discounts: Many storage facilities proudly offer discounts to active-duty service members and veterans as a way to give back.
- Understanding staff: Our team is experienced in working with military families and understands the importance of flexibility and compassion
