Frequently Asked Questions
Common questions about Balsam Self Storage in Bovey, MN — our self storage units, pricing, payments, and how to reach us.
About the Facility
Where is Balsam Self Storage located?
We are located at 45498 Scenic Hwy, Bovey, MN 55709. Call us at (218) 910-1543 for directions.
What does self storage mean?
Self storage units are not heated or climate-controlled. The temperature inside the unit will rise and fall with the outdoor weather, similar to an unheated garage or shed. Self storage is suitable for items that can tolerate seasonal temperature changes.
Are the units climate-controlled?
No. Our units are self storage — not heated, air-conditioned, or temperature-controlled. If your belongings require a stable temperature environment, please call us at (218) 910-1543 to discuss whether our units are the right choice for your needs.
What to Store
What kinds of items are well-suited for self storage?
Self storage works well for furniture, tools, lawn and garden equipment, sporting goods, recreational equipment, appliances, and most household goods that can tolerate temperature variation. Plastic bins with tight-fitting lids are a better choice than cardboard boxes in a self storage environment.
What items should not be stored in self storage?
Items that may be damaged by cold or fluctuating temperatures — such as certain electronics, musical instruments, fine art, wine, important documents, and some medications — may not be appropriate for self storage. If you are unsure, call us at (218) 910-1543 before renting.
