Boat Parking and Storage Near Windsor
Boating season in Northern Colorado runs a few short months, which means your boat spends most of the year parked and waiting for the next trip to Horsetooth Reservoir, Carter Lake or Boyd Lake. Where it sits through that long off-season decides how much scraping, cleaning and repair you face when the water warms back up. Windsor Storage keeps your boat and trailer secure between outings. Our facility at 33680 County Road 13 gives Northern Colorado boaters a secure place to keep the boat and trailer in the off season.
Boat and Trailer Storage for Northern Colorado Owners
Windsor Storage serves owners across Windsor, Severance, Timnath, Fort Collins, Greeley, Loveland and the surrounding towns. The bigger draw is the range of storage under one roof, from budget outdoor spots for boats that launch every weekend up to heated indoor units that hold a high-value hull above freezing all winter, so you can match the protection to how you use the boat and what it’s worth.
Winter Boat Storage in Colorado
Winter does the most damage to a boat left outdoors in Northern Colorado. Water trapped in the engine block, pump or plumbing can freeze and crack expensive components, and months of sun and blowing grit dull the finish long before spring.
A heated storage space holds the boat above freezing and takes the pressure off a marginal winterizing job, while an enclosed unit blocks the weather, dust and rodents that get into a boat left in the open.
Covered parking is a solid middle option for owners who winterize thoroughly and mainly want to keep sun, snow and hail off the hull. Whichever level you choose, storing the boat under cover means less cleaning, fewer surprises and a shorter repair list when the season opens.
Measuring Your Boat and Trailer
Boat length on the brochure rarely matches the space you need, so measure the full rig before you reserve and bring the totals when you call.
- Measure overall length from the trailer tongue to the back of the outboard motor, swim platform or extended bunks, since that is the number the space has to clear.
- Check the height at the tallest fixed point, such as a wakeboard tower, radio antenna or a bimini top that doesn’t fold down.
- Note the trailer width at the fenders and leave a little clearance for opening the door and walking alongside.
Security Built for Boats and Trailers
A boat and loaded trailer are a serious investment, and the electronics, tools and gear left aboard can make an unattended one a target. Windsor Storage surrounds the property with eight-foot solid metal fencing and uses controlled gate access that tracks entries and exits.
The facility is monitored by 63 high-definition cameras operating around the clock. Infrared and spotlighted cameras maintain visibility after dark, while motion-activated lighting helps illuminate activity across the property. These security measures provide a more protected alternative to leaving your boat and trailer in a driveway, along the street or in an unattended lot.

Boat Storage FAQs
What size boat and trailer can Windsor Storage accommodate?
Heated units are available in lengths up to 48 feet, indoor unconditioned units up to 14 by 45 feet, and outdoor spaces up to 50 feet. The covered lean-to measures 12 by 40 feet. Availability varies by space.
How should I measure my boat for storage?
Measure from the front of the trailer tongue to the farthest point at the rear. Include the motor, swim platform, ladder and mounted equipment. The full boat and trailer must fit inside the rented space.
Do I need to measure my boat’s height?
Yes, measure to the highest fixed point on the boat. Include the windshield, tower, antennas and radar equipment. Confirm the unit’s door height and interior clearance before reserving.
Do I need to winterize my boat if it is stored indoors?
Yes, boats in unconditioned indoor storage should still be winterized. Heated storage reduces the risk of freezing, but winterizing provides extra protection for any water left in the system.
Is covered storage enough for winter?
Covered storage works well for a properly winterized boat. It protects against direct sun, snow and hail but does not prevent exposure to freezing temperatures, wind or blowing dust.
What is the difference between heated and unconditioned indoor storage?
Heated storage provides full enclosure and protection from prolonged freezing temperatures. Unconditioned indoor storage is also fully enclosed but does not control the temperature.
Does Windsor Storage offer outdoor boat parking?
Yes, outdoor spaces are available in lengths from 10 to 50 feet. This is the most affordable option for boats that do not need covered or indoor protection.
Are pull-through boat storage spaces available?
Yes, pull-through outdoor spaces may be available for an additional monthly fee. They can make parking and retrieving a long trailer easier.
Is there enough room to back in a boat trailer?
The facility has 32-foot-wide drive aisles designed for large vehicles and trailers. The space you need will depend on the total length of your boat, trailer and tow vehicle.
What security features protect stored boats?
The property has controlled gate access, eight-foot metal fencing and 63 high-definition surveillance cameras. Infrared and spotlighted cameras provide additional coverage after dark.
What are the boat storage access hours?
Customers can access the facility seven days a week from 6:00 a.m. to 9:30 p.m. Office hours may be different from gate access hours.
Can I rent boat storage seasonally?
Yes, rentals are available month to month with ten days’ notice to vacate. Availability may be more limited near the beginning and end of boating season.
How should I prepare my boat for storage?
Clean and dry the boat, remove food and trash, and secure the cover. Follow the manufacturer’s winterization instructions when freezing temperatures are possible. Make sure the trailer is stable and the entire boat fits within the space.
