Can I share a container with my housemates?
Absolutely. Many student groups share a single 20ft container. You'll need to agree on access arrangements amongst yourselves and provide one padlock. The rental agreement is in one person's name.

Student Storage Bournemouth
Bournemouth students: store your stuff over summer or between house moves for just £55/week. Magna Park is 7 minutes from Bournemouth University's Talbot Campus with 24/7 access and no VAT.
Affordable Storage for Bournemouth University & AUB Students
Every summer, thousands of students at Bournemouth University (BU) and Arts University Bournemouth (AUB) face the same problem: what to do with all their stuff between tenancies. Flying home with furniture isn't an option, and leaving things in a friend's garage isn't exactly secure. Magna Park Self Storage offers a practical solution just 7 minutes from the Talbot Campus on Wallisdown Road.
At £55 per week with no VAT, our 20ft containers are big enough for several students to share — making the per-person cost remarkably low. A group of three housemates splitting a container would pay less than £20 each per week for 1,360 cubic feet of secure, insulated storage. That's dramatically cheaper than student storage services that charge £30-£50 per person per week for a fraction of the space.
Our site on Provence Drive is in the BH11 area, just past the Wallisdown retail area and easily reached from student housing in Winton, Charminster, Ensbury Park, and Moordown. The A3049 takes you straight to us from the university campus area. With 24/7 access, you can load up after your last exam and collect before freshers' week — on your own schedule. No booking appointments, no restrictive access windows.

Common Questions
Frequently Asked Questions
How much stuff does a 20ft container actually hold?
1,360 cubic feet — that's enough for the contents of a three-bedroom house. For a student house share, you could fit 3-4 bedrooms' worth of furniture, appliances, bikes, and boxes with room to spare.
Is it safe to store a laptop and electronics?
Yes. Our foam insulated containers prevent condensation, which is the main risk to electronics in storage. We recommend packing electronics in their original boxes or wrapping them in blankets. Avoid storing anything with a battery that could swell in heat.
What's the best time to book for summer storage?
Contact us in April or May to reserve a container for the summer. June is move-out season and availability can be limited. Call 01202 113252 or use our online quote form to secure your space.
