Hutchinson, Kansas water tower near Reno County Storage

Owning a house in Reno County tends to mean owning what goes with it: a mower, a tiller, a trailer, a boat for the summer and, sooner or later, a parent’s furniture. This guide matches the common homeowner situations to the actual unit sizes and monthly prices at our two locations, 2511 E 17th Ave in Hutchinson and 712 N Walnut St in South Hutchinson. Every unit is ground-level and drive-up with a roll-up door, and every unit is insulated. None are climate-controlled. Prices here are the regular rates at the time of writing and can change, so check current rates before you decide.

The Garage and Shed That No Longer Close

If the goal is to park a car in the garage again, you are mostly moving things you use a few times a year: holiday totes, camping gear, bikes, the spare mattress, furniture waiting for a kid’s first apartment. A 5×10 is the size of a walk-in closet and holds a mattress and box spring, a dresser, bikes and a stack of boxes. It is $65 a month in Hutchinson and $55 in South Hutchinson.

If the shed is emptying out too, a 10×10 holds about what a one-bedroom apartment does, including a sofa, a dining set and a washer and dryer. That is $95 in Hutchinson and $65 in South Hutchinson. Hutchinson also has an 8×10 at $85 for loads that fall in between.

Seasonal gear, furniture and boxes inside a 10x10 drive-up storage unit — A 10×10 holds roughly a one-bedroom apartment, or the overflow from a garage and a shed.

Mowers, Tillers and Farm Equipment

Riding mowers, zero-turns, tillers, ATVs and implements take up floor, not height, so think in footprints. Because every unit is drive-up, you can ramp equipment off a trailer and straight through the door.

10×15 ($105 Hutchinson, $75 South Hutchinson): a riding mower, a tiller and the rest of the yard equipment, with wall space left for shelving.
10×20 ($125 Hutchinson, $105 South Hutchinson): the size of a one-car garage. Room for a small vehicle or motorcycle alongside yard equipment.
10×30 ($155, Hutchinson only): a car or large equipment.
15×30 ($190, South Hutchinson only): heavy equipment that needs width as well as depth.

Before winter storage, drain the fuel or run the engine dry, change the oil, disconnect the battery and wash off grass and mud, which hold moisture against steel. Leave fuel cans and propane cylinders at home.

A Boat or Trailer Over Winter

Winter cold, spring hail and summer sun are all hard on a boat left in the driveway. To store one indoors you need a unit longer than the whole rig, so measure from the tip of the trailer tongue to the back of the motor. Measure the width at the widest point, usually the trailer fenders, and the height too.

10×25 ($145, Hutchinson): the smallest unit we suggest for a boat.
10×30 ($155, Hutchinson): a longer boat, or a car.
15×30 ($190, South Hutchinson): a boat or large vehicle, with five more feet of width.
15×40 ($250, South Hutchinson): multiple vehicles or a large RV.
20×40 ($350, South Hutchinson): the largest unit we have, for multiple large vehicles.

A door opening is narrower and lower than the unit behind it, so call (620) 662-7336 with your measurements before you rent. Winterize the motor, pull the drain plug, take the battery home and chock the trailer wheels. The optional tenant protection plan lists damage to a stored vehicle, boat or trailer among its coverages.

Downsizing or Clearing an Estate

Moving a parent out of a longtime home, or settling an estate, rarely happens on the schedule a house sale wants. A unit lets you empty the house now and sort later. Month-to-month renting suits this, because nobody knows at the start whether it will take two months or ten.

A 10×15 holds a two-bedroom apartment and a 10×20 holds a two- or three-bedroom house. In Hutchinson, the 10×25 takes a three-bedroom house and the 10×30 a house with four or more bedrooms. For a full house plus a shop, the 15×30 in South Hutchinson is one large unit in place of two smaller ones.

Three things to settle early:

Take the valuables and papers out first. Jewelry, watches, cash, firearms, deeds, titles and family records should go to a family member or a safe deposit box. The protection plan does not cover them, and antiques and furs are excluded as well.
Sort as you load. Keep one wall for things family members have claimed and one for things to sell or donate, and label each box with the room it came from.
Decide who holds the rental. One person signs the lease and pays through the online portal, so agree on that before the truck is loaded.

Our long-term storage tips cover pallets, labels and a photo inventory, which help when several relatives need to find things.
