How much does storage cost in West Lothian?

For small units locally, warehouse leases typically sit around £650–£700 per month before VAT and business rates, and that is before service charges and utilities are added. Micro Yards is designed to be more straightforward and more cost-effective. Each yard provides a 20ft container, plus your own 320 sq ft fenced yard, for £360 per month, including VAT. This provides both secure indoor storage and outdoor space for vehicles, stock, or equipment at nearly half the cost of a warehouse.

What size is a Micro Yard?

Each Micro Yard measures 320 sq ft of outdoor space, alongside a premium 20 ft one-trip container. This means you have room to park a van, trailer, or caravan securely, while also keeping tools, stock, or furniture dry and out of the elements indoors. It’s the combination of yard and container that makes Micro Yards more versatile than standard storage.
