If you live in north Bossier Parish, in or around Plain Dealing or Benton, the storage you need is often less about apartments and more about garages, sheds, outbuildings, and family homes with a lifetime of belongings in them. Drive-up storage fits that kind of storage well. Storage Haven Plain Dealing is at 101 LA-3, Plain Dealing, LA 71064, on Highway 3. This guide explains what drive-up storage is, who in north Bossier Parish it suits, what it costs, and how to rent a unit online.

Drive-Up Storage in North Bossier Parish

A drive-up storage unit has a roll-up door that opens directly to the outside. You pull your truck or trailer up to the door, open it, and load straight in. There are no hallways, no elevators, and no carts to push.

In a rural parish, that matters. Many households here move belongings by pickup truck or with a utility trailer, and many of the items people store are heavy or awkward to carry: furniture, tools, shelving, and boxes from a house or a shop. A drive-up unit keeps the distance between your truck and your unit to a few feet.

Storage Haven Plain Dealing is a drive-up facility on LA-3, serving Plain Dealing, Benton, and the rest of north Bossier Parish. It is one of three Storage Haven locations, along with Shreveport and Dubberly.

Who Drive-Up Storage Suits

Drive-up storage is a good fit for most of the reasons people in north Bossier Parish look for a unit:

Clearing out a garage, shed, or shop. Hand tools, shelving, bins, and garden tools move straight from the truck bed to the unit.
Settling a family member’s home. When a parent or relative moves or passes, a unit gives the family time to sort furniture and keepsakes without rushing.
Moving into or out of the area. A unit holds furniture while you close on a house or wait on a move-in date.
Remodeling. Furniture from the rooms being worked on can wait in a unit until the work is finished.
Seasonal and overflow items. Holiday decorations, extra furniture, and boxes you do not need every week can stay out of the house and the garage.

10×10 Drive-Up Units and Prices

Storage Haven Plain Dealing rents 10×10 drive-up units with 8 ft ceilings. Here is the current monthly rate:

10×10 drive-up (8 ft ceiling): $61.05 per month paying by ACH (bank account), or $62.39 per month paying by credit or debit card

A 10×10 is about half the size of a one-car garage. It holds the furniture from a one-bedroom apartment, or a mix of furniture, tools, and boxes from a few rooms or a shed. Card payments run about 2% higher than ACH. Rentals are month-to-month with no long-term contract, and your first month is prorated.

If you need more room than a 10×10, Storage Haven Shreveport has larger drive-up units: a 10×15 at $127.19, a 10×20 at $152.63, and a 10×25 at $203.50 per month by ACH. For a side-by-side look at every size, read What Size Storage Unit Do I Need?

How to Load a Drive-Up Unit Well

A little planning on moving day makes a 10×10 hold more and keeps it easy to use:

Back in close. Park with your tailgate as close to the door as you can, so you are carrying items a few steps at most.
Load the back wall first. Put the items you will need least at the back, and the items you will want again soon near the door.
Use the height. With an 8 ft ceiling, stack sturdy boxes high along the walls and stand mattresses and table tops on their sides.
Keep heavy items low. Tool chests, boxed books, and other heavy items go on the floor, with lighter boxes on top.
Leave a walkway. A narrow path down the middle lets you reach the back without unloading the whole unit.
Label everything. Mark each box on two sides so you can read it from the walkway.
