Temp storage for getting garage floor epoxied?

[Innovate1]

Looking into temporary storage for the stuff in a 3 car garage so the floor can be coated. Looks like there are several companies that do pods. I did a quick look at U-haul. Looks like they have one size portable container a little over 4 x 8 ft. 4 of them with delivery for a month is $400. It wasn't clear but maybe another $100 for pickup. Anyone done something like this that can offer any tips or recommendations? I have some space in a building about 500 feet away but having storage right next to the building would be a lot easier. The U-haul bins looks like they have a low floor (maybe 6" high?) so would be easy to get big/heavy stuff in. Haven't looked into others yet.

Move all the **** to one side. Apply floor coating. Repeat.

Some of the local storage places around here had a 'first month free' which i used to good effect when I had to vacate part of my shop to paint the floor and walls, but that still leaves you with the logistics of getting it to the storage lot.

You can also rent a CONEX around here for about $100 a month for a smaller one, but like uhaul, you have to pay to move it. I thought about doing it when I painted my garage but the HOA was going to have a hissy-fit.

I second the shipping container. Usually a decent price and is weather sealed and quite secure.

I have used Pack Rat containers a few times. They are sturdier than PODS and the price was reasonable. They will drop it where you want and pick it up when you are done.

I have a friend that’s in the epoxy business. They have a newer product that is low Vic and ready to drive on in 24hrs.

Can you put a tarp over it and rent a fence to keep strangers out?
