Boating season on the Red River and the Minnesota lakes is over for the year, and the boat needs a place to sit until spring. Left in a driveway or a side yard, it spends the winter under snow and ice. MegaStorage Fargo Moorhead, at 4126 29th Ave S in Moorhead, MN, offers indoor boat storage in enclosed, drive-in units with power in every unit. This guide covers the door size, unit depths and monthly prices, how to choose a size for a boat on its trailer, and how access works through the winter.

Indoor Boat Storage in Moorhead with a 12 by 14 Foot Door

Every unit at MegaStorage Fargo Moorhead is an enclosed, drive-in unit with a 12 foot wide by 14 foot tall overhead door. The boat goes inside on its trailer and the door closes behind it. Every unit also has a 120V electrical outlet and an overhead light, and four sizes add a 30-amp outlet.

The buildings sit 55 feet apart, which gives room to turn a truck and trailer and back into the unit. That space matters with a long boat and trailer, and it matters more when there is snow on the ground.

Boat Storage Sizes and Monthly Prices

How to Choose a Unit Size for Your Boat

Choosing a unit for a boat comes down to three measurements, all taken with the boat sitting on its trailer.

• Overall length. Measure from the front of the trailer tongue to the farthest point at the back, which is usually the motor, the swim platform, or a ladder. This is the number to compare against unit depth. Pick a unit deeper than that length so there is room to walk around the boat and close the door.
• Height on the trailer. Measure from the ground to the highest point, including a windshield, a tower, a bimini frame, or antennas. Compare it to the 14 foot door height, and fold down anything that folds before you measure.
• Width. The 12 foot door opening is the limit, not the unit width. Measure the widest point of the boat or the trailer fenders, whichever is wider.

If you are storing more than one thing, the larger units are built for it. The 30 x 28 and 40 x 28 units have two overhead doors and a partition with a pass-through, so a boat can sit on one side and a second boat, a truck, or an RV on the other. The 70 x 28 pull-through unit has four doors for owners with several rigs or long trailers.

Power and Light in Every Boat Storage Unit

Every unit has a 120V outlet and an overhead light. Winter afternoons in Fargo-Moorhead are short, and the light makes it practical to check on the boat, load gear, or get it ready for spring without bringing your own lighting.

The 40 x 14, 40 x 18, 50 x 17, and 40 x 28 units add a 30-amp outlet. If an RV is going into storage along with the boat, read the guide to enclosed RV winter storage in Moorhead, MN.

Winter Access and Security

Tenants have 24-hour access, so the boat is reachable on any day of the winter, including the first warm weekend in spring. The property has digital video surveillance.

The facility is open for viewing anytime. Drive in, look at the units and the space between buildings, then call (218) 461-8158 with questions or to rent.

Getting There from Fargo, Moorhead, and Dilworth

MegaStorage Fargo Moorhead is on 29th Ave S on the Minnesota side of the Red River, close to I-94 and US-75 (8th St S). It is minutes from south Fargo and West Acres, and close to Concordia College and MSUM. Boat owners in south Moorhead and Dilworth have a short drive.

The location also helps in spring. Owners heading east on I-94 to the Minnesota lakes are already on the right side of the river when they pick up the boat.
