When I think of portable storage, I think of metal sheds that you can build and then tear down and rebuild in another location. I like the idea of my belongings remaining on property with me, even though it is not in the immediate house. I have read about companies that offer such a service. They literally come to your property, and they leave a huge metal box there, for months or years if you want them to. In this way, you have access to your things, the most convenient access that you can have, which is right in your back yard. I have to wonder about zoning laws and regulations that prohibit such things from being located in your yard or on the side of your house. No doubt such restrictions do exist. I would think that the company would be wise to the restrictions and let the customers know ahead of time if the laws prohibited such use on their property. Any reputable company would be privy to that information and would not withhold such things from a potential client just to earn some cash. I have not seen any local companies that offer this service, so my guess is that such a thing is not allowed here in this area. That is unfortunate. In my opinion, if it is my backyard, and I want to put a big metal box in it, I should be able to do so.
