Cost Breakdown: Tuff Shed Versus Self Storage

As more and more homeowners choose to remain in their homes rather than move, the self-storage industry is booming. But all that extra space can come with a cost. So how does it stack up against backyard sheds?

33% of self-storage renters have run out of space in their homes, so adding a backyard shed could give them the needed space. A rental unit may seem like a cost-effective solution, but you may think differently when you add up the additional fees and surcharges. With our Rent-To-Own and Financing options, we’ve got a cost breakdown for your storage planning.

The Storage Facility

For an average 10×10 climate-controlled indoor storage rental, including administrative fees, taxes, and storage insurance, you’ll pay around $191 per month.

The Tuff Shed Building

For a 10×10 Tuff Shed building in your backyard, the average monthly payment is around $86. That’s more than double the savings. So what else do you save when you have a storage shed in the backyard?

Not only are there hard cost savings with a backyard shed, but there are also plenty of intangible savings. Consider the convenience of a shed in your backyard. You’ll save travel time and gas money and have the ability to access your stored items whenever you so choose.
