Local Portable Storage

Welcome to Big Box Storage in Potrero

Potrero sits at 2,336 feet in the Mountain Empire of southeastern San Diego County - 45 miles east of downtown San Diego along State Route 94, and about five miles from the Tecate border crossing. The name is Spanish for "pasture," and the community still looks the part: 648 residents, roughly 192 homes, and wide parcels spread across ZIP code 91963. What Potrero doesn't have is a storage facility. For most households here, the nearest self-storage is a 30-45 minute drive down the hill - and that's before you load a single box. 

Big Box Storage closes that gap. We deliver a portable storage container to your property, you load at your own pace, and we haul it to our secure San Diego facility - or straight to your new address. No truck rental. No repeated trips down SR-94. 

Big Box is a San Diego-based company that has delivered portable storage units across the county since 2003, and our crews run backcountry routes all the time: long gravel driveways, cattle gates, soft shoulders, and homes you can't see from the highway. Each container is a wooden box measuring 8′ L × 5′ W × 7′ H - lockable, weatherproof, and placed with an onboard forklift so we never need a ramp or paved ground.

FAQ

Frequently Asked Questions About Big Box

Find answers to the most common questions about Big Box portable storage containers, moving services, secure storage options, delivery, and pricing.

Q: How much does portable storage cost in Potrero, CA?

A single Big Box starts at $99/month ($89/month on a 12-month term). Delivery is $99 round trip within our standard service area and free for customers on a three-month term or longer. For a precise figure on a 91963 address, use our online ordering tool or call (858) 244-2691. See rates and promotions. 

Can you deliver a storage container up a dirt or gravel driveway?

Usually, yes. Our trucks place boxes with an onboard forklift, so we don't need pavement, a ramp, or a loading dock. Tell us about the grade, the surface, and any gate or turnaround limit when you order, and we'll plan the approach. If your first-choice spot won't work, we'll help you pick another level area on the property.

How big is a Big Box, and how many will I need?

Each container measures 8′ L × 5′ W × 7′ H on the outside and holds roughly one room of belongings - about 40 square feet of floor space. A studio apartment usually fits in one box; a three-bedroom ranch home may need three or four. Try our storage space estimator or order extra - you're only billed for what you use. 

Does the container stay at my property, or do you store it at your facility?

Either one. Many backcountry customers keep the box on-site for the length of a project. When you want the space back, we pick it up and store it at our secure San Diego facility, where you can access it free seven days a week with two hours' notice. 

Are wooden storage containers safe for Mountain Empire heat and cold?

Yes. Wood insulates better than steel, buffers temperature swings, and helps regulate humidity inside the box. Every container is lockable and comes with a weatherproof cover. Pack items clean and dry for best results.

Can Big Box help if I'm moving out of Potrero or out of state?

Absolutely. Load at your Potrero address and we'll deliver the box to your new home anywhere in San Diego County, elsewhere in California, or ship it to any metro area in the US. Learn more about long-distance shipping.
