Standard storage units were designed for standard stuff like boxes of clothes, spare furniture, holiday decorations. But not everything in life fits neatly into a 10x10 space with a five-foot-high roll-up door. If you own an RV, a boat, a collection of vintage cars, or a business with inventory that keeps growing, you need something bigger. You need oversized storage.
Jumbo Storage in Arden, NC provides personal storage units ranging from 896 to 1,500 square feet, 19-foot ceiling heights, and 14-foot overhead doors. These are full-scale personal garages, the kind of space where you can store, organize, maintain, and actually enjoy the things you've worked hard to earn.
What Makes Oversized Storage Different?
The word "oversized" gets used loosely in the storage industry. Some facilities call a 10x20 unit oversized, which might be fine for a couch and some boxes but falls short for anything with real dimensions. At Jumbo Storage, oversized means something genuinely different.
Every unit at Jumbo Storage is built with steel-frame construction, well-insulated walls and doors, and the kind of proportions you'd expect from a commercial garage or small warehouse. The smallest available unit is 896 square feet (already larger than many studio apartments), and the largest standard configuration is 1,500 square feet. For tenants who need even more room, neighboring units can be combined to create substantially larger spaces.
Here's what the dimensions look like in practice:
- A 22' x 50' unit gives you 1,100 square feet, enough to park two full-size vehicles side by side with room left over for shelving and a workbench.
- A 25' x 60' unit provides 1,500 square feet, comparable to the footprint of a small house, with 19-foot ceilings that multiply your usable vertical space.
- Combined units can be connected through an 8-foot-wide doorway, or two end-to-end units can be joined by removing the specially designed common wall, creating a "drive-through" configuration for maximum flexibility. Long-term leases are required for combined configurations.
When you pair that square footage with 14-foot by 16/17-foot overhead doors and driveways that range from 50 to 60 feet wide between buildings, you can see why Jumbo Storage is built for the things other facilities simply can't accommodate.
11 Unit Sizes to Match Your Needs
One size doesn't fit all, especially when it comes to oversized storage. That's why Jumbo Storage offers 11 distinct floor plans:
- 22' x 45'
- 22' x 50'
- 22' x 60'
- 24' x 40'
- 24' x 45'
- 24' x 50'
- 24' x 60'
- 25' x 40'
- 25' x 50'
- 25' x 55'
- 25' x 60'
This range of sizes means you're not paying for more space than you need, and you're not forced to squeeze into a unit that's too tight. Whether you have a single large vehicle to store or an entire workshop to set up, there's a configuration that works.

Who Uses Oversized Storage in Asheville?
The people who rent personal garages at Jumbo Storage come from all kinds of backgrounds, but they share one thing in common: they need real space, and the conventional storage market doesn't offer it. Here are some of the most common ways tenants use their units.
RV Owners
Asheville and Western North Carolina are surrounded by some of the best driving and camping destinations in the Southeast, which means the area has a thriving community of RV owners. The challenge is that many neighborhoods and HOAs in the Asheville area don't allow RVs to be parked at your home, and outdoor storage leaves your vehicle vulnerable to sun damage, weather, vandalism, and theft.
Jumbo Storage's 14-foot door clearance accommodates RVs up to 45 feet in length, and the wide driveways make maneuvering even the largest motorhomes manageable. An on-site dump station and wash bay mean you can prep your RV before a trip or clean it up when you get back, all without leaving the property. Indoor storage also helps preserve your vehicle's value by shielding it from the elements year-round.
Collectors
Whether you collect classic cars, antique firearms, model trains, vintage memorabilia, or fine art, your collection deserves more than a cramped closet or a corner of the basement. A Jumbo Storage personal garage gives serious collectors room to organize, display, and enjoy their treasures in a private, secure, climate-dry environment.
As a tenant, you have the freedom to customize your unit's interior. Add display cases, accent lighting, car lifts, custom shelving and whatever it takes to showcase your collection and make the space truly yours. With 24/7 access and a fully fenced, gated property, you can visit your collection on your own schedule and rest easy knowing it's protected.
Small Business Owners
Growing businesses generate growing piles of stuff like inventory, equipment, tools, seasonal materials, and archived files. At some point, your office, retail space, or home simply runs out of room. A Jumbo Storage personal warehouse offers Asheville-area business owners a cost-effective way to reclaim their primary workspace while keeping everything organized and accessible.
The oversized doors and wide driveways make receiving deliveries easy, even for large or palletized shipments. Each unit's dedicated electrical service means you can power lighting, charge equipment, or run the tools you need. Please note that the City of Asheville restricts the use of Jumbo Storage units to storage only but operating a business on the property is not permitted.
Hobbyists and Workshop Users
One of the most popular uses for a Jumbo Storage garage is as a personal workshop. With 30/50 amp electrical service and nearly 20 feet of vertical clearance, you have the power and space to set up a woodworking shop, a metal fabrication area, a vehicle restoration bay, or whatever project space you've been dreaming about.
Many tenants enjoy working on their RVs, classic cars, and motorcycles right inside their unit. Vehicle maintenance and hobby work are welcome inside your personal garage, though all work must stay within your unit, and the common areas must be kept tidy for all tenants. Some reasonable restrictions apply to prevent excessive noise, dust, or fumes.
Standard Features in Every Unit
Every Jumbo Storage personal garage comes equipped with features that make these units functional right from day one:
- Individually metered 30/50 amp electrical service — your own dedicated meter for powering tools, lights, and equipment
- 14' x 16/17' overhead doors — tall and wide enough for large vehicles, boats, and equipment
- 3' x 7' locking pedestrian doors — secure entry without opening the overhead door
- 19-foot ceiling heights — room for car lifts, tall shelving, and vertical storage
