Military Storage for PCS Moves, Deployment & Everything In Between
Military life moves fast. Some days you get orders with plenty of time to plan, and other days you’re tossing things into a duffel bag and figuring out the rest later. When that happens, the last thing you need is stress about where your household goods will go.
At Arborstone Storage, we’ve helped service members through PCS moves, deployments, TDYs, and those familiar “we’re moving again” moments. If you need a safe, flexible place to keep your belongings until you’re settled, we’re here to make that part simple.
We offer military discounts for active duty service members and military families.

Reasons You Might Need Storage While Serving in the Military
Avoid the Double-Move Headache
PCSing is expensive enough without paying to haul your household goods back and forth. If your permanent housing isn’t ready on day one, stashing your heavy furniture in a unit lets you move it once, wait out the housing office, and unpack on your own schedule.
Keep Temporary Quarters Liveable
Living out of suitcases in TLF, a crash pad, or base housing is cramped enough. You shouldn’t have to navigate an obstacle course of taped-up boxes and oversized furniture just to get to the kitchen. Putting the non-essentials away keeps your sanity intact.
A Reliable Safe-Zone When Timelines Shrink
When short-notice orders drop or a TDY pops up, you don’t have time to overthink things. A storage unit gives you an immediate, secure spot to lock down your gear so you can stop worrying about your couch and start focusing on your checklist.
Month-to-Month Flexibility (No Contract Traps)
Military life doesn’t do fixed, rigid timelines, so neither do we. Our storage plans are entirely flexible. Whether you need a unit for a few weeks between housing or a full year during a deployment, you’re never locked into a contract you can’t use.
5 Ways to Prep Your Gear Before Shipping Out
1. Ditch the Dead Weight
Before you tape up a single box, purge the clutter. Don’t waste time and money storing things you haven’t looked at since your last duty station. The rule of thumb is simple: if you didn’t use it over the last year, don’t pay to let it sit in a unit for the next one.
2. Guard Against Trapped Moisture
Wash every uniform, clean the bedding, and thoroughly wipe down appliances. Most importantly, ensure everything is 100% dry before it goes into lockdown. If you’re heading out on a long deployment, even a tiny bit of trapped moisture can ruin a whole unit of gear.
3. Upgrade to Heavy-Duty Boxes
Cheap grocery store boxes crumble when they’re stacked for months at a time, or if they have to survive a secondary move. Invest in heavy-duty bins or sturdy boxes, and label every single side—not just the top. When you’re trying to find one specific uniform piece later, you’ll thank yourself.
4. Pack for Accessibility, Not Just Capacity
Don’t just play Tetris and cram everything to the ceiling. Leave a narrow center aisle in your unit. If a sudden transition pops up and you need to sprint in to grab your field gear or a specific folder of paperwork, you don’t want to climb over your entire living room set to get to it.
5. Keep Electronics Off the Ground
Dust and temperature changes are tough on electronics. Keep TVs, game consoles, and computers off the bare floor by stacking them on pallets or furniture, and throw a breathable drop cloth or blanket over them.
The Bottom Line
A PCS or deployment comes with a massive checklist and plenty of moving parts. Your storage unit shouldn’t add to that stress. Having a dedicated, secure spot for your gear means you get to take logistics off your plate, save money on unnecessary double-moves, and focus entirely on the mission ahead.
