boat storage Paso Robles

Paso Robles’ Mars Mega Storage answers the question ‘What is the best storage for my boat?’

-If there is a single thing that is important for storing a boat it is to keep the boat dry and protected from sun, heat and storm damage. Keeping a boat dry might seem contradictory to the purpose of a boat, but the management from the Paso Robles boat storage facility, Mars Mega Storage, know why it’s important and provide both indoor and outdoor covered storage for boats and RVs.

Storing a boat outside without a protective roof overhead means several extra steps must be taken to prevent damage from the sun, storms, rodents and other animals that may be looking for a home.

  • Not only is a cover necessary, a properly fitted cover is important. Rain pooling on a cover or tarp can collapse, letting water into parts of the boat that can be damaged such as electronic systems, paneling, appliances, cushions and upholstery.
  • Strong storm winds can blow covers loose, allowing rain into the boat and possible damage from branches and other debris.
  • Mold starts growing within 24-48 hours and can also cause damage.
  • The sun’s UV rays and heat can also damage boats that are stored uncovered.
  • Mice, rats, racoons and a variety of other animals will move right into an unattended boat and slip in under a secured cover or tarp. Mice and rats eat the insulation off of wiring and, along with racoons, like to shred cushions and upholstery for nesting. Rodent urine and droppings stain and stink and the odor is very difficult to get rid of. The droppings can carry harmful pathogens that cause disease in humans.
  • Boats stored in backyards, driveways and other unsecured spaces are targets for vandals.

The best and easiest way to store and protect a boat is in a dedicated covered or enclosed space. Most boat owners don’t have the space or facilities at home to properly keep their boats safe from the weather and invading critters. The garage isn’t always big enough and storing the boat in the garage means leaving the family vehicles in the driveway or street. Some residential communities have rules prohibiting boats and RVs being parked on the street for more than a few hours. Some of these communities also have rules against parking vehicles on the street.
