Bolt Storage offers cheap, 24-hour drive-up self storage and heated business storage units at 3881 Cottage Grove Road in south Akron, OH — near Portage Lakes, Green, and Coventry Township. The site is unusually deep on commercial-grade space: alongside standard 5×5 indoor and 10×10 drive-up sizes, this facility offers heated drive-up business units with electricity included, plus full commercial suites up to 9,800 sq ft for contractors, tradespeople, and small businesses — all on month-to-month terms with no long-term commercial lease.
About this Bolt Storage facility
The 3881 Cottage Grove Road site sits in south Akron near Portage Lakes State Park, Coventry Township, and the city of Green — with quick access to I-77 and to Akron-Canton Airport. The property is fully fenced with automatic gated entry and CCTV camera coverage. Gate access is open 24 hours a day, seven days a week. Every rental is month-to-month with no long-term commitment, every storage rental comes with a free lock, and rates stay affordable with discounts that change based on current unit availability.
What makes this Akron site different from most self storage facilities: the inventory mixes standard drive-up and indoor storage with commercial-grade business space — heated drive-up units with electricity included, a 40×50 (2,000 sq ft) extra-large drive-up, and full commercial suites up to 9,800 sq ft. Whether you need a small storage closet for boxes or a small warehouse for business operations, this site has both — without the broker fees, triple-net charges, or 3-to-5-year commitment of a traditional commercial lease.
Drive-up self storage units
Standard drive-up units are ground-level with exterior roll-up doors — pull up to your unit, load or unload from your vehicle, and drive right out:
- 10×10 — contents of a one-bedroom apartment.
- 10×20 — two-bedroom home or small-business inventory.
- 11×30 — three- to four-bedroom home or larger business loads.
- 15×40 — large drive-up for full household moves or contractor inventory.
- 22×30 — wider commercial drive-up for workshop loads or pallets.
Heated drive-up business units (electricity included)
The site has heated drive-up business units that are uncommon in self storage — they include both a powered overhead garage door and a man door for easy access, with propane heat, interior lighting, and electrical outlets all included in the rental price. They work especially well for local contractors, tradespeople, and small businesses that need temperature-stable workspace storage without managing separate utility bills:
- 20×50 heated drive-up — 1,000 sq ft of heated, lit, powered space with an overhead garage door and man door.
- 40×50 heated drive-up — 2,000 sq ft extra-large heated drive-up for larger business or contractor operations.
Commercial suites and office space
This site also offers commercial-grade suites for businesses that need serious space without the cost and rigidity of a traditional commercial lease — month-to-month rental, no broker, no triple-net, and the ability to scale up or down without breaking a multi-year lease:
- Suite A — 20×70 (1,400 sq ft) — commercial suite for inventory, equipment, or operations.
- Suite B+C — 70×140 (9,800 sq ft) — the largest single unit at this Akron site, sized for full small-business operations, retail inventory, or contractor warehousing.
- Suite E Office — 24×40 (960 sq ft) — office suite for businesses that want on-site working space alongside their storage or inventory.
Indoor storage and outdoor vehicle parking
Smaller indoor units and outdoor vehicle parking spaces are also available:
- 5×5 indoor — small lockable indoor closet for documents, electronics, or seasonal items.
- 5×10 indoor — indoor storage for boxes, paperwork, or sensitive items.
- 20×10 uncovered parking — outdoor parking spaces sized for cars, trucks, RVs, boats, trailers, and work vehicles.
