Keep storage where the work is happening
On site storage means keeping a rented container at your own property while you use it. TEMP-PACK delivers portable storage containers for homes, businesses and project sites around Austin, San Antonio and Central Texas. Store furniture, boxes, tools or approved business stock close to the work, with the placement and rental arrangements agreed before delivery.
This option suits projects where you need space outside the work area and access to the contents nearby. Start with the address, what you plan to store and how long the project may take. The available container, delivery approach and proposed standing area need to work together.
Keep the container nearby for access during the work, choose from the available sizes and arrange collection when the project ends. Compare the total rental and transport charges with other storage plans before deciding which suits the job.

Make room for your project
Plan the container around the work being done and the items you will need to reach. A home project, a shop refit and a contractor’s work area can need different access arrangements even when the same type of container is considered.
Home renovations and repairs
Clear furniture and boxes from rooms being painted, repaired or refitted. Separate items needed during the work from those that can remain packed. Think about how materials, contractors and household members will move between the property and the container.
Allow for the order of the work, not only the planned finish date. If rooms will be completed in stages, arrange the load so the next items you need are reachable.
Retail stock and fit outs
Discuss temporary space for approved merchandise, fixtures or equipment during a refit, seasonal inventory changes or other changes in stock levels. Include the size of the items, delivery activity and how often staff will need access.
Keep the proposed container position separate from customer entrances, business deliveries and other access needs. Goods with temperature or humidity requirements need a storage arrangement suited to those conditions.
Contractor and job site storage
Describe the tools, equipment or materials you want to store and the people who will use the container. Plan its location around the work area, vehicle movements and the access needed to load and remove items.
Review the intended contents with TEMP-PACK. Do not treat a container quote as approval for every material used on the site, or as a promise of security, handling or weather performance.
Office changes and property preparation
Use the rental discussion to plan furniture, equipment and boxes removed during an office change, a home cleanout or preparation for a property sale. If files are included, discuss the conditions and any confidentiality or access requirements before choosing storage. Decide which items need regular access and which can stay packed until the work ends.
If the next step is another address, include that plan at the start. Transport and any storage between dates need their own agreement.
Keep belongings nearby as each room changes
On site storage container rental brings extra space to the property where your project is happening. Our mobile containers give approved furniture and packed belongings a place outside the rooms being changed. Keep the next room’s items together so the people handling the work can identify what comes back first, rather than unpacking the whole load.
For driveway storage container rental, include the household’s daily routines in the placement discussion. Explain which doors, parking spaces and routes people need to use while the container stays nearby. Bring measurements of large furniture to our container size discussion, including the items you want to reach during the rental.
Choose the container around the load and the site
TEMP-PACK lists 8, 16 and 20 foot container options. Begin with an inventory rather than a room count alone. Large furniture, equipment weight, packing and space left for access can change what fits.
Measure items that cannot be taken apart. Note the longest, widest and tallest pieces, plus heavy equipment and anything you expect to remove during the rental. Ask about the usable internal dimensions, door opening and load limit of the unit offered.
The biggest option may not suit the property. The approach, standing area and space needed to open the doors must be considered with the load. Share photos or measurements if requested, then agree a suitable unit and position.
Check delivery, placement and permission
The container needs a suitable position for delivery, use and collection. Describe the property before booking so TEMP-PACK can discuss the equipment and access requirements for that address. A container’s dimensions alone do not describe all the space needed by the delivery vehicle.
| Planning point | What to discuss |
|---|---|
| Entrance and approach | The address, gates, turns, parked vehicles and restrictions along the delivery route. |
| Proposed standing area | The surface, slope, drainage and nearby obstacles. Ask what is suitable for the equipment being supplied. |
| Overhead space | Branches, wires, roof edges and other restrictions that may affect placement or collection. |
| Doors and loading | The door position and room to open them, carry items and reach the contents during the rental. |
| Property permission | Any landlord, HOA, site manager, parking or other approval that applies to the proposed position. |
| Collection route | Access that can remain available when work, parked vehicles or site conditions change. |
Ask for the clearance requirements for the exact equipment and site. The required space and suitable surface depend on the equipment and property. Obtain any required permission before agreeing placement on a street, shared parking area, verge or other space outside your control.
If the property cannot accommodate a container, discuss storage at a TEMP-PACK facility. Confirm the facility conditions and access procedure before choosing that alternative.
Give the working day its own retrieval plan
Temporary on site storage can hold approved stock, fixtures or project equipment while a business changes its working space. Our containers let you group those goods around the next task. Separate the items needed for tomorrow’s work from those returning after a refit, and label each group for the department or person receiving it.
Give the key holder a current list when staff or work stages change. If one team removes fixtures and another puts them back, identify the parts and destination together. Describe those retrieval needs to TEMP-PACK alongside the proposed equipment position. Use our business storage pages to plan around retail, restoration or other workplace projects, then confirm the goods and access needed for your booking.
Plan loading and access throughout the rental
Decide who will pack, load and unload the contents. Ask which tasks and materials are included in your booking and which need separate arrangements. Delivery of a container does not by itself include a packing or labor service.
Keep items needed during the project near an accessible part of the load. Label boxes and allow a practical route to them. Heavy or awkward items need a loading plan that follows the limits and instructions for the unit.
Discuss locks, securing the contents and any equipment you must supply. Before loading, review permitted goods and obtain confirmation for items with unusual handling needs or sensitivity to storage conditions. Dry container rental does not establish refrigeration or a set temperature and humidity range.
Keep the doors and route to the container accessible during the rental. Review changes caused by work crews, stock deliveries or parked vehicles. Contact TEMP-PACK before trying to move or reposition the unit, even within the same property.
From your request to collection
1. Share the project and address
Send the delivery ZIP code, preferred date, intended contents and expected rental period. Explain the proposed position and any access restrictions. Include later transport if a move may form part of the project.
2. Agree the unit and delivery plan
Review the available container, placement requirements, charges and rental terms. Confirm the date and access arrangements with the team. Confirm the unit and delivery slot with TEMP-PACK before treating the dates as booked.
3. Use the space and arrange collection
Load under the agreed conditions and keep access available. Contact the team if the finish date changes. Before empty collection, agree how the unit should be left, the collection timing and when rental billing ends.
The TEMP-PACK rental process explains the wider delivery and storage journey. Tell the team that the container will stay at your property so the plan covers access throughout the project.
Meet the equipment behind delivery and collection
When you rent a storage container on site, TEMP-PACK coordinates the container delivery and collection around the agreed property arrangements. Our TempTrack lift system supports delivery and collection; the container stays with your project during the rental.
As rooms or work areas reopen, return belongings in the order they are needed. Tell our team when the final items can leave the container and who will be at the property for collection. If the next step becomes another address, discuss that transport separately before the equipment plan changes. See our rental process for the wider journey.
Agree dates, charges and changes before booking
Request a quote for the full plan: the container, delivery address, rental period and empty collection. Ask for the total and how charges are applied rather than comparing the rental figure on its own.
- Available size and unit for the intended contents
- Delivery and collection for the exact property
- Minimum rental term and billing period
- Any applicable tax, protection or other charges
- Changes, cancellation, extensions and collection notice
- Extra transport if the unit will later leave the property loaded
Share the likely finish date and any uncertainty in the work schedule. Ask how an extension is requested and how another billing period is handled. Contact the team before the planned collection if the project changes; do not assume the rental extends without notice.
When the work ends, confirm the collection date and when billing stops. Ask what condition the empty container must be in and keep the collection route clear.
Choose another arrangement when the project needs it
Keeping a container at the property is one storage arrangement. Use the page that matches the next task if your plans include off property storage, transport or refrigeration.
Storage at a facility
If placement at your property does not suit the site or project, discuss facility storage. Confirm the location, conditions, access procedure and redelivery arrangements.
Moving between addresses
If the loaded container needs to travel, include both addresses and the dates. Agree transport, access at each property and any period of storage between them.
Goods needing refrigeration
For goods needing refrigerated or frozen storage, discuss the conditions and equipment required. A dry portable container should not be treated as refrigerated space.
Plan delivery to your Central Texas property
TEMP-PACK is based in Buda and serves customers around Austin, San Antonio and nearby Central Texas communities. Delivery to your property depends on the exact address, access, equipment and dates. Share the ZIP code and site details when requesting a quote.
Review Buda, Kyle, San Marcos and New Braunfels, or use the service locations page for other areas. A listed area does not confirm availability for a specific date or placement.

Questions before you rent
What is on site storage?
It is a rented storage container kept at your home, business or project site while you use it. The rental discussion covers the unit, address, placement, dates and collection. This differs from having the container held at a TEMP-PACK facility.
Can I keep a container in my driveway?
Discuss the driveway, delivery approach, surface and door position with TEMP-PACK. Confirm the space is suitable for the equipment and that any property permissions or restrictions have been addressed before booking.
How much space is needed for delivery?
Ask for the requirements for the exact unit, delivery equipment and property. Describe gates, turns, overhead obstacles, surface conditions and the proposed position. The container’s footprint is not the only space needed.
Do I need permission for the container?
Check the rules applying to the position you propose. These may involve a property owner, landlord, HOA, site manager or local authority. Obtain any required approval before placement; do not assume a street or shared parking space can be used.
Which size should I choose?
Compare the published 8, 16 and 20 foot options using an inventory and measurements of large items. Include heavy goods and the space needed for access. Confirm the unit’s usable dimensions, door opening and load limit with TEMP-PACK.
Can I reach my belongings during the rental?
Keeping the container at the property lets you plan access nearby. Agree the placement and door clearance, keep the route clear and organize the contents so the items you need can be reached.
Who packs and loads the container?
Confirm the packing, loading and unloading arrangements in your booking. Ask if any labor or materials are included or need separate arrangements. Container delivery alone does not confirm a packing service.
What can I store in it?
Describe the proposed contents before booking and review permitted goods in the rental terms. Obtain confirmation for materials or items with special handling or storage needs before loading. A quote for a container does not approve every type of goods.
Is the container temperature controlled?
Do not assume that a dry container at your property provides set temperature or humidity conditions. Discuss the needs of your goods and the exact equipment offered. Facility storage and refrigerated trailers are separate arrangements to review.
Do I need a lock, insurance or protection?
Ask what you must supply and which requirements apply to the rental. Review any offered protection, its exclusions and your responsibilities. If relying on your own insurance, check its storage cover with the insurer.
How long can I keep the container?
Share the expected project dates and agree the minimum term, billing period and collection notice. Ask how extensions work before booking. Contact TEMP-PACK if the work takes longer than planned.
Can the container be moved later?
Tell the team before booking if later transport may be needed. Confirm the destination, load and transport plan. Contact TEMP-PACK before trying to move or reposition the rented container yourself.
What affects the rental quote?
The quote needs to cover the available unit, address, rental period, delivery and collection. Ask about tax, protection, other charges, extensions and changes. Include any later loaded transport so it can be discussed as part of the plan.
What happens when the project ends?
Arrange empty collection with the team. Confirm how the unit should be left, the collection date and when billing stops. Remove the contents as agreed and keep the collection route clear.
Can you deliver on my preferred date?
Request the date and confirm availability with TEMP-PACK. The arrangement depends on equipment, the route and access at your property. Confirm the unit and delivery slot with TEMP-PACK before treating the dates as booked.
