MEGA Micro Yards
What is a Micro Yard?
The Flexible Alternative to Traditional Container Storage
Businesses across Northamptonshire are increasingly looking for more flexible storage solutions than traditional self-storage containers alone.
That is where a Micro Yard comes in.
At MEGA Yards + Storage our Micro Yards combine:
- Secure external yard space
- A private shipping container
- Flexible monthly terms
- Commercial-grade security
The result is a practical, affordable solution for tradespeople, contractors, landscapers, builders, e-commerce businesses and SMEs that need more than just a storage container.
So, What Exactly is a Micro Yard?
A Micro Yard is a secure external storage yard combined with an individual storage container. Unlike traditional self-storage, which only gives you enclosed container space, a Micro Yard provides:
- Open storage space
- Vehicle and trailer parking
- Easier loading and unloading
- Additional working and manoeuvring space
Most Micro Yards include:
- A 20ft shipping container
- Secure fenced yard space
- Gated access
- CCTV monitoring
This creates a much more flexible storage solution for growing businesses.
Why Businesses are Moving Away from Traditional Container Storage
Standard container storage works well for boxes and household goods.
However, many businesses quickly outgrow containers because they also need space for:
- Trailers
- Plant machinery
- Vehicles
- Landscaping materials
- Long or bulky stock
- Pallets
- Equipment
- Outdoor storage
A container alone often becomes restrictive. Micro Yards solve this problem by combining both secure enclosed storage and external commercial yard space.
The Benefits of a Micro Yard
1. More Usable Space
A Micro Yard gives you far more usable operational space than a container alone. You can:
- Store materials externally
- Park vehicles or trailers
- Access equipment easily
- Load directly from the yard
This is particularly useful for:
- Builders
- Landscapers
- Groundworkers
- Scaffolders
- E-commerce businesses
- Property maintenance companies
2. Flexible Monthly Terms
At MEGA Yards, we offer flexible rolling monthly licences with no long commercial leases.
That means:
- No lengthy commitments
- No expensive legal fees
- Fast move-ins
- Ability to upgrade as your business grows
Many businesses need storage flexibility rather than long-term industrial leases.
3. Secure Commercial Storage
Security is a major factor for businesses storing tools, machinery and stock.
Our Northampton storage yard includes:
- CCTV monitoring
- Secure gated access
- Security fencing
- Floodlighting
- Controlled site access
This provides a more secure environment than many traditional open yards.
4. Cost-Effective Alternative to Industrial Units
Industrial units are increasingly expensive and often come with:
- Long leases
- Business rates
- Repair liabilities
- Legal costs
- Service charges
A Micro Yard offers a simpler and more affordable alternative for businesses that primarily need storage and external space rather than office accommodation.
Who Uses Micro Yards?
Micro Yards are ideal for businesses that need both container storage and external storage space.
Typical users include:
- Builders
- Landscapers
- Electricians
- Plumbers
- Tree surgeons
- Vehicle traders
- E-commerce operators
- Plant hire businesses
- Removals companies
- Contractors
Many customers start with a container and later upgrade to a Micro Yard once they realise they need additional operational space.
