Lifetime Climate Controlled Storage offers indoor climate-controlled storage in Iowa Park. In 2026 we added something new: 12 outdoor drive-up storage units at 400 W Park Avenue in Iowa Park, near Wichita Falls. They are 8x20 steel container units (160 sq ft), each with its own roll-up door, set right on our property alongside the climate-controlled building.

What you get with a drive-up unit here

- Brand-new steel units. Our 8x20 containers were installed in 2026. Tight, clean, weather-resistant steel construction with smooth roll-up doors, not decades-old metal buildings.
- 160 square feet each. An 8x20 has 40 square feet less floor space than a 10x20. Measure your largest items and allow room for access before choosing a unit.
- 24/7 access, 365 days a year. The units sit outside the main building, so you drive up to your door any time.

Drive-up vs indoor climate-controlled: which should you rent?

8x20 vs 10x20 storage: compare the space
A lower monthly price helps only if the unit suits your load. An 8x20 container has 20% less listed floor area than a 10x20 unit, with a narrower footprint. Room count alone does not tell you whether your belongings will fit.
Scroll across to see every column.
| Listed size | Floor area | What to compare |
|---|---|---|
| Lifetime outdoor 8x20 | 160 sq ft | 8 feet wide and 20 feet deep; not climate controlled |
| 10x20 size reference | 200 sq ft | 2 feet wider and 40 sq ft larger; check the other facility’s unit type |
Listed sizes are a planning reference. Confirm the clear interior, door opening and loading approach for the actual unit. A unit’s listed width does not establish how wide its door opens.
Check your load before booking
- Measure the width, depth and height of your largest items, including packaging and parts that cannot be removed. Make a simple floor plan.
- Leave space to reach items you will need during the rental. Allow for shelving and stacking limits instead of filling every square foot.
- Check each item’s storage requirements. Choose indoor climate storage or specialist storage when the outdoor environment does not suit the belongings.
Check current 8x20 outdoor availability or compare outdoor and indoor storage.
What fits in an 8x20 drive-up unit
Plan around the items you need to store and how often you need to reach them. Confirm the door opening and loading approach for anything bulky.
- Contractors and trades. Power tools, ladders, scaffolding, materials, and job-site equipment, loaded straight from the truck bed.
- Household overflow. Garage contents, seasonal decorations, patio sets, mowers and lawn equipment, camping and hunting gear.
- Small business stock. Shelving-friendly inventory, event equipment, signage, and supplies that do not need climate protection.
- Moves and renovations. Selected packed household goods that tolerate outdoor conditions. Make an item list and check fit; use suitable indoor storage for sensitive belongings.
One thing we do not offer: vehicle storage. There is no car, RV, boat, or trailer parking or storage at Lifetime. Drive-up refers to how you load the unit, not to parking a vehicle inside one. Units are for household and business goods only.

Drive-up storage FAQ
Is an 8x20 storage container the same size as a 10x20 unit?
No. The listed 8x20 size represents 160 square feet, compared with 200 square feet for a 10x20. That is 40 square feet, or 20%, less floor area. The 8x20 is also 2 feet narrower. These are listed unit dimensions, not verified clear interior or door measurements. Measure your largest items and allow room to reach them. Contact Lifetime to confirm the clear door opening, usable interior and loading approach before renting for a tight fit. Our outdoor containers are not climate controlled.
What is a drive-up storage unit?
A drive-up storage unit is an outdoor unit you can park directly in front of, so you load and unload straight between your vehicle and the unit with no hallways, stairs, or carts. At Lifetime we rent 12 drive-up units, brand-new 8x20 steel container units (160 sq ft) installed in 2026, each with its own roll-up door. They sit outside our main climate-controlled building at 400 W Park Avenue in Iowa Park near Wichita Falls.
How big are the drive-up units?
Each drive-up unit is 8 feet wide by 20 feet deep, which is 160 square feet, with a roll-up door on the 8-foot end. That is 40 square feet less than a 10x20 unit. Check the dimensions of your largest items and allow space for access when planning your load. Our indoor climate-controlled units run from 5x5 up to 14x14. Sizes can be sold out, so check current availability.
Are the drive-up units climate controlled?
No, and that is the point. The 8x20 drive-up containers are standard, non-climate storage with live rates shown online, a budget-friendly choice for tools, equipment, lawn gear, patio furniture, and other rugged items that do not need temperature protection. For furniture, electronics, documents, photos, or anything sensitive, choose one of the 86 climate-controlled units inside the main building instead.
How much does a drive-up unit cost?
The live rate for the 8x20 drive-up units is always on our homepage alongside current indoor rates. They currently come with 50% off your first full month, applied automatically at checkout with no code to enter. There is a one-time $20 admin fee. You bring your own lock, and every rental requires a SafeLease tenant protection plan or verified proof of your own coverage before access is confirmed. Current SafeLease tiers start at $12 per month and are shown at checkout.
Can I store a car, boat, RV, or trailer in a drive-up unit?
No. We do not offer vehicle, RV, boat, or trailer storage or parking at Lifetime. The drive-up units are for household and business goods only. "Drive-up" refers to how you load the unit: you park at the roll-up door and carry items straight in.
How does access to the drive-up units work?
The drive-up units sit outside the main building, so you park directly at your own roll-up door any time, day or night, 365 days a year. Complete the agreement, payment, and protection requirements online. After those steps are complete, access instructions are sent automatically, normally within about 1 hour. Same-day move-in is usually available without an office visit. The property is covered by 24/7 video surveillance with bright lighting.
