About this Bolt Storage facility

The 16038 Lee Highway site sits in north Bristol, VA along the I-81 corridor between exits 5 and 7 — just minutes from the Virginia/Tennessee state line, downtown Bristol, the Bristol Motor Speedway exit, and the Tri-Cities metro area. The property is gated and fully fenced with CCTV camera coverage. Daily access runs from 7 a.m. to 9 p.m., 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 Bristol site different from most Tri-Cities storage facilities: the inventory is unusually deep across all four storage formats — drive-up, climate-controlled, interior hallway-access, and outdoor vehicle parking — with sizes from a small 5×10 closet up to extra-large commercial drive-ups including a 29×43 (1,247 sq ft) and a 20×60 (1,200 sq ft).

Drive-up self storage units

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. The site offers nearly 20 drive-up sizes from a small closet up to extra-large commercial drive-ups:

• 5×10, 6×20, 8×8 — small drive-up units for boxes, seasonal items, or small furniture.
• 10×10, 10×12, 10×15, 10×18 — apartment-sized drive-up for household overflow or one-bedroom apartments.
• 10×20, 10×25, 10×27 — two- to three-bedroom homes, business inventory, or contractor stock.
• 12×24, 13×22, 22×28, 24×23 — wider drive-up units for larger commercial loads, multiple-vehicle storage, or workshop space.
• 29×12, 29×43, 20×60 — commercial-scale drive-up units for full small-business operations, contractor warehousing, or extended pallet inventory. The 20×60 (1,200 sq ft) and 29×43 (1,247 sq ft) are the largest single drive-up units at this site.

Climate-controlled storage units

Climate-controlled units are indoor units that keep humidity and temperature stable — the right choice for furniture, electronics, photos, books, fabric, business records, and seasonal clothing that does not handle Virginia summer humidity or winter cold well. Six climate-controlled sizes:

• 5×10 — small climate-controlled closet for documents, electronics, or sensitive personal items.
• 8×10 — climate space for boxes, photos, and small furniture.
• 10×10 — climate space for a one-bedroom apartment.
• 10×15 — climate space for a small home or sensitive household furniture.
• 10×20 — climate space for a two-bedroom home or full apartment.
• 15×20 — climate-controlled commercial space for business inventory or larger sensitive loads.

Interior hallway-access storage units

Hallway-access units sit inside the building along an interior corridor — you walk down a hallway from a main entrance to your unit. They protect items from outdoor weather without the cost of climate control, useful for boxes, seasonal items, dorm storage, and household overflow:

• 5×10, 7×7, 8×10 — small hallway-access units for documents, boxes, or seasonal items.
• 10×10, 10×12, 10×15, 10×18, 10×20 — mid-size hallway-access for apartment-sized loads.
• 10×25, 10×40, 11×20 — larger hallway-access space, including a 10×40 for extra-deep interior storage. The 10×40 is the largest hallway-access unit at this site.

Outdoor RV and vehicle parking

Outdoor uncovered parking spaces are available for vehicles, RVs, boats, and trailers:

• 10×25 outdoor parking — sized for cars, work trucks, or smaller trailers.
• 10×35 outdoor parking — extra-long parking for full-length RVs, larger boats, or work-truck-and-trailer combinations.
