Commercial Storage

If you own or manage a business, a self storage unit could be invaluable to your operation. Extra inventory can be neatly and conveniently stored off-site so that expensive retail or office space is left clear of clutter. Units at Beaver Storage near Rogers, AR and Beaver Lake Storage near Eureka Springs, AR range from $4.56 - $3.12 per square foot annually. This may be significantly lower than the rent at your business location.


Using less expensive space for inventory storage, means that you can afford to order larger quantities of inventory items and save with quantity price breaks and shipping deals. You can optimize the use of your main business location and easily access the extra inventory as you need it. All of this translates to better sales and lower cost of goods sold! Who wouldn't want that?

Businesses are required to keep receipts and records for 7 years by the IRS. This can amount to boxes and boxes of papers that owners and managers rarely (or never) need access to. Off-site storage in a self-storage unit is a great solution to this space eating problem. The records can be packed away at the end of the year, clearly labeled and stacked in a storage unit at a minimal cost to the business. Old records can be rotated out and destroyed as new years are added. Shelving can be set up in the unit to accomodate the file boxes so that they are easy to get to if a particular reciept or file is needed.

Businesses should consider using off-site storage for a variety of needs: overstocked inventory, office files, promotional items, seasonal items, decorations, uniforms, replacement equipment and extra display racks or shelving pieces.  Check out our size options and prices at http://www.beaverstorage.com/ or call 479-636-9498 (Avoca/Rogers) or 479-253-2020 (Eureka Springs) and our managers will help you with all your storage needs!

Winterizing Your Boat or RV

It's getting cold again so it's time to be sure that your boat or RV are winterized and safely parked for the winter. Of course you need to drain all your lines and tanks and fill them with a little of the pink RV anti-freeze. If you are parking your boat or RV at a storage facility you may want to do a little more to make sure that your vehicle stays in top shape through the winter months.

  • add some fuel stabilizer to the gas tank.
  • be sure your fabric cover is stretched tight across your boat or RV so the wind won't tear it loose and rain or snow can't pool on it.
  • Stuff your refrigerator, cooler, live box or other closed compartments with wadded up newspaper. This works great to keep the moisture (and mildew) out of the area.
  • Be sure you have a current photo of your boat or RV in case there is any damage or loss that will need to be reported through the course of the winter months.
  • If you are parking your RV outdoors or under an awning, close the window shades and put a shade in the front windshield to keep the sun from heating up the interior or fading any of the fabric inside.
  • Be sure there is no food or food remnants in your boat or RV that might attract critters. Add some mouse bait to ensure that any rodents who find their way in can do little or no damage.

Boat & RV Storage

Many of you live in neighborhoods that don't allow you to park a boat or camper in the driveway or yard. Some folks just want to get their recreational vehicle out of the rain and sun. There is no doubt that this keeps your rig looking nicer longer.

At Beaver Storage we have 3 options for storing boats, campers and motor homes. The lowest price option is an outdoor parking space. Take advantage of our security gate access and resident manager. For a modest monthly fee, your RV will be secure and out of your way when you aren't using it.

For more protection, we offer awnings in three different sizes. An awning will keep most of the sun and rain off your boat or vehicle. Some of the awnings have protection on the sides as well. An awning will cut down on fading from the sun which over time will ruin exterior finishes and upholstery. Combine this with the convenience and security we offer and your monthly rental rate will be money well spent.

If you want maximum protection for your motor home or boat, we have fully enclosed spaces that will accommodate even the biggest rigs. The door is locked with your own personal lock keeping your RV totally out of the rain, wind and weather. You are the only person with access to the unit.

Storing your camper or motor home was never easier. Call us if you are in the NW Arkansas area and are interested in finding out more about our services and options!
