What is Big Box Storage?

Big Box Storage is a portable storage solution for people who don’t want to deal with truck rentals, long drives, or the chaos of self-storage lots. We deliver the storage unit to your location in El Cajon — you load it, and we take care of the rest. Your container is stored at our secure, indoor San Diego facility until you need it back.

Who Uses Big Box in El Cajon?

We work with:

Homeowners upgrading, remodeling, or decluttering

Seasonal Storage for Coastal Gear

Contractors and small businesses needing flexible equipment or material storage

Military families stationed nearby looking for short-term solutions

Why Is It a Good Fit for East County?

El Cajon’s hot, dry climate and wide variety of home types make portable storage a smarter option than traditional self-storage. With many older homes, smaller garages, and tight parking situations — having the storage come to you makes life a whole lot easier.

Plus, unlike outdoor units exposed to heat and dust, our indoor facility keeps your belongings protected from the elements.

How Big is the Container?

8 feet long

5 feet wide

7 feet tall

It’s the ideal size for storing the contents of an apartment or a few rooms of a house.

How secure and weatherproof is a Big Box?

How do I access my belongings at your storage facility?

Access is available every day of the week. To access your belongings, simply provide two hours advance notice between the hours of 10am and 3pm (need to call by 1pm and finish by 4pm) and your Big Box(es) will be ready for you when you arrive at the San Diego storage facility. There’s never a charge to access your storage!
