Our Ferndown site includes HD CCTV surveillance, secure palisade perimeter fencing, gated entry, and security lighting throughout. Each container is constructed from heavy-gauge steel with customer-fitted padlocks. Every unit has marine-grade plywood flooring and natural ventilation to protect stored items from damp.

Can I use your Ferndown units for business or trade storage?

No lease, no minimum term, and fully VAT-reclaimable invoices for businesses. Popular with builders, plumbers, electricians, online retailers, and event companies across BH22 and Wimborne.

Can I store boats, kayaks, or leisure equipment?

The clean, dry, ventilated containers protect against damp and damage through the off-season. Note: we don’t store vehicles on-site at Ferndown — for caravan and motorhome storage, see our boats and caravans page.

Can I drive straight up to my storage container?

Yes. All units at our Ferndown site are ground-level, drive-up access. Pull up alongside your container, unload directly from your van or car boot, and lock up. No trolleys, lifts, stairs, or long corridors. Ideal for moves, deliveries, and regular access.

Do you require a deposit?

How do I pay, and are VAT invoices available?

Payment is taken by debit or credit card online at booking, and automatically every 4 weeks thereafter. Business customers receive a fully VAT-reclaimable invoice at each billing cycle. We don’t accept cash or cheque — keeps overheads low, which keeps your prices low too.

Why choose The Storage Containers Ferndown over Safestore or Big Yellow?

Three reasons: proximity, price, and flexibility. Safestore’s nearest Bournemouth branch is 8+ miles from Ferndown; Big Yellow is 9+ miles. Both charge more per square foot. Both require longer-term commitments. Our Ferndown site is local, cheaper, and contract-free — pay by the 4-week cycle, leave when you want, no minimum term. Plus, you’re not sharing a multi-storey building with 200 strangers — you have your own private steel container with drive-up access.
