What you'll find
Two facilities in Cross Lanes offer boat storage. Mini Mall Storage - Cross Lanes carries the strong reputation, rated 4.9 from 300 reviews, and covers covered, indoor, outdoor, boat, trailer and vehicle storage with gated entry, cameras, 24/7 access and climate control. USA Storage Solutions is smaller and rated 3.0 from just 4 reviews, offering outdoor boat and vehicle parking with gated 24/7 access and climate. The spread in reviews tells you something: read recent feedback closely on the lower-rated one before committing. Outdoor is the most available type at two facilities, with covered and indoor each at one.
Covered, indoor or open air
West Virginia weather is hard on gelcoat and vinyl. Summer sun fades upholstery, and winter freeze-thaw works on covers and seams. An indoor bay at Mini Mall Storage keeps your boat out of all of it, though you'll want to confirm your trailer and tower fit before you sign. Covered storage is the middle ground, shielding the top of the boat while leaving the sides exposed. Open-air spots are cheapest and most plentiful here, but plan on a quality cover and a good wax job. Whichever you pick, pull the drain plug and check your insurance covers off-season storage.
Before you sign
Ask about gate hours even though both facilities advertise 24/7 access, and drive the route at the time of day you'd actually tow. Cross Lanes traffic near the interstate interchange can be thick on weekday afternoons. Check that the facility allows you to work on your boat on site, since some do not. Walk the aisle where your boat would sit and look for standing water, tree limbs and tight turning room for a trailer. A battery maintainer is cheap insurance against a dead start in spring. Confirm in writing what happens if you're late on rent.

How many offer indoor boat storage?

Do these facilities have 24/7 gate access?
Yes, both facilities in Cross Lanes list 24/7 gate access. That helps if you launch early on the Kanawha River or get back after dark. Still confirm the gate code process and whether staff are reachable off hours, since access policies can change.
What should I check before storing my boat outdoors?
Look at drainage, shade and turning room for your trailer. A fitted cover, fresh wax and a battery maintainer go a long way through a West Virginia winter. Pull the drain plug, lower the motor or outdrive, and verify your insurance covers the boat while it sits.
