Need temporary warehouse space for 6 months?
Short-term storage solutions from Gateway Distribution in Arizona, AZ.
Your business is growing faster than expected in Arizona's expanding market. You need warehouse space for a few months while searching for permanent facilities. Most warehouses demand long-term leases you can't commit to right now.
Growing businesses often get caught between needing more space and finding the right permanent location. Arizona's hot climate and diverse terrain from Phoenix to Flagstaff mean your storage needs vary by region. Traditional warehouses want multi-year commitments that don't match your timeline.
Temporary warehouse space typically costs more per square foot than long-term leases but gives you flexibility. Expect month-to-month rates 15-30% higher than annual contracts. Your total cost depends on space size, location along I-10 or I-17 corridors, and whether you need climate control for Arizona's extreme temperatures.
Look for facilities offering flexible month-to-month contracts with cross-docking capabilities. Gateway Distribution provides short-term warehouse space that keeps your shipments moving while you secure permanent facilities. Ask about staging areas for trailers and temperature-controlled zones if your products need protection from Arizona heat.
Once you have temporary space secured, you can ship and receive normally while taking time to find the right long-term location. Your business keeps running smoothly without rushing into the wrong permanent warehouse decision.

Professional yard management can organize your trailer flow and reduce detention costs. Look for a service that tracks trailer locations, schedules dock appointments, and coordinates with drivers. Good yard management pays for itself in reduced fees and faster turnaround.
warehouse storage vs own facility
Outside warehouse storage makes sense when your facility costs more per square foot than rental space, or when you need overflow capacity during peak seasons. Look for facilities that offer inventory management and can ship directly to customers. Calculate the total cost including transportation between locations.
