Military Storage Near Barksdale AFB

Military life comes with moves that do not always line up neatly. A permanent change of station (PCS), a deployment, temporary duty, or a gap between leaving base housing and closing on a home can all leave you with a houseful of things and nowhere to put them.

Storage Haven Shreveport serves Shreveport and Bossier City renters, including military families at Barksdale AFB. Storage Haven is veteran-owned and family-operated, and Jessie and April have run it as local owners since 2021. There is no office on site. Everything is done online, and when you have a question, an owner answers the phone or a text.

Which Size Fits a Military Move?

The right size depends on whether you are storing everything or only what will not fit in your next place.

• Single service member, deployment or TDY: a 5×10 or 10×10 indoor unit usually holds the furniture and boxes from a barracks room or a small apartment.
• Couple or small family between homes: a 10×15 drive-up holds the contents of a two-bedroom apartment, including appliances.
• Full household during a PCS or a home sale: a 10×20 or 10×25 drive-up has room for a two to three-bedroom home.

Indoor units sit inside the building, off a hallway, and keep your things out of rain and direct sun when the door is open. Drive-up units let you back a truck or trailer to the door and load straight in. Neither type is climate-controlled. For a closer comparison, read Indoor vs. Drive-Up Storage Units in Shreveport.

Month-to-Month Rental for Uncertain Timelines

Orders change, and report dates move. Storage Haven rents month-to-month with no long-term contract, so you are not locked into a set number of months.

• Prorated move-in: your first payment only covers the days you use.
• No contract: keep the unit as long as you need it.
• Simple move-out: give 10 days notice by text, empty the unit, and send a photo of the cleaned unit. Move-out is not prorated, so time your notice around the 1st.

Rent and Pay Online, From Anywhere

Because Storage Haven has no office, the whole rental happens online. That works well when you are still at your last duty station, on leave, or already deployed.

• Choose Shreveport on the Rent Now page and pick your unit.
• Sign the lease digitally on your phone or computer.
• Set up AutoPay by ACH or card. Rent is due on the 1st and is late after the 5th, so AutoPay keeps payments on time while you are away.
• Get your gate code and unit number when you sign up, so you or your movers can unload the same day.

Before You Store: A Short Checklist

• Insurance: every renter needs the tenant protection plan through Storage Haven or proof of homeowners or renters insurance. Check what your own policy covers while you are away.
• Lock: bring your own lock for the Shreveport location.
• Inventory: photograph what goes into the unit and keep a list, especially before a long deployment.
• Packing: use sturdy boxes of similar size so they stack well, label each one on two sides, and stand mattresses and table tops on their sides.
• Payment: confirm AutoPay is set before you leave the area.
