Backyard Storage in Marion, TX offers boat storage for owners who need a dedicated place for their boat and trailer between trips. Located at 885 FM78 East, the facility serves boaters throughout Marion, Schertz, Cibolo, Seguin, New Braunfels, and northeast San Antonio.
For boat owners in this part of Texas, storage is often less about putting something away for the season and more about having a practical home base. Canyon Lake, Lake McQueeney, Lake Dunlap, and the Guadalupe River are all part of the local boating lifestyle. Your boat may be out regularly during warmer months, so where you keep it between trips matters.
What Boat Storage Is Actually Good For
A fishing boat or pontoon can take up a surprising amount of room once the trailer is included. Even if it technically fits at home, it may block part of the driveway, make garage access difficult, or leave little room for everyday vehicles.
Boat storage gives you a dedicated place for the entire setup.
It's also useful for owners who don't want to tow their boat back into a residential neighborhood after every trip. If you're using the boat several times throughout spring and summer, keeping it at a storage facility can make the routine easier. Bring it back, park it, and pick it up when you're ready to go again.
Some customers need storage for longer stretches. Maybe the boat gets most of its use during summer. Maybe you're traveling for work or simply don't plan to get back on the water for a few months. A dedicated storage space keeps the boat and trailer out of the way without forcing you to sell something you still use.
For households with more than one recreational vehicle, the space issue gets bigger fast. A boat, camper, utility trailer, and regular cars can easily compete for the same driveway. Moving one of those vehicles off-site can free up a lot of room at home.
Boat Storage Makes Sense in This Part of Texas
Boating is easy to build into your weekends when there are several places to get on the water within the broader Marion and New Braunfels area.
Canyon Lake is a major destination for boating and fishing. Lake McQueeney and Lake Dunlap are familiar names for residents around Seguin and New Braunfels, while the Guadalupe River runs through much of the same recreational corridor.
That creates a different storage need than you'd find in an area where a boat comes out twice a year.
If you're regularly towing to the lake or river, you want storage that works with that routine. You shouldn't have to reorganize the driveway every Friday night just to get the boat ready.
Residential parking can create another issue. Neighborhood and HOA rules vary, but some communities around Schertz and Cibolo restrict long-term parking of boats, trailers, RVs, and similar vehicles. Even without a formal restriction, fitting a boat trailer beside two household vehicles isn't always realistic.
A separate storage space solves a very ordinary problem: the boat has somewhere to go when it's not on the water.
Boat Storage Features at Backyard Storage
Backyard Storage lists RV/Car/Boat Storage among its facility features, along with canopy parking spaces and indoor vehicle storage. Availability can vary, so it's worth checking which type of space is currently open for the size of boat and trailer you have.
The property also has EZ Drive In and pull-thru storage spaces. Those features matter when you're towing. A storage facility may have enough square footage for a boat, but getting a truck and trailer through the property comfortably is just as important.
Security features include gated entry, 24-hour security cameras, a security guard, on-site management, bright LED lights, and exterior LED lighting.
Gate access is available during set hours rather than around the clock. Renters can enter the property daily from 6:00 AM to 10:00 PM.
If you also own an RV or keep another recreational vehicle, our RV, Car & Vehicle Storage page covers the additional vehicle storage options available at the property.
A Practical Location for Schertz, Cibolo, Seguin, and New Braunfels
Backyard Storage serves Marion, Schertz, Cibolo, Universal City, Selma, Seguin, New Braunfels, and northeast San Antonio.
The Marion location puts boat owners between several growing residential areas and some of the region's most familiar water destinations. For someone in Schertz or Cibolo, that can make more sense than keeping a trailer in a crowded subdivision. For someone traveling between Marion, Seguin, and New Braunfels, FM78 keeps the facility connected to the routes they already use.
New Braunfels boat owners also have access to Canyon Lake and the Guadalupe River nearby, while Seguin-area residents are familiar with the Lake McQueeney and Lake Dunlap corridor.
Where you store your boat should fit where you actually use it. That's more useful than simply choosing whichever facility happens to be closest to your house.

Before You Leave Your Boat in Storage
A few basic habits make the next trip easier.
Remove food, trash, wet towels, and anything else you don't want sitting inside the boat. Make sure covers and compartments are secured before you leave. If you've been on the water all day, giving equipment a chance to dry before closing everything up can also help keep the interior from getting musty.
Don't leave loose gear where it can shift around while you're towing or parking.
Many boat owners also keep life jackets, fishing equipment, coolers, tubes, tools, and other recreational gear with the boat. If that equipment starts taking up too much room, a separate Drive-Up Storage unit can give you an easy place to keep the extras.

Other Storage Options at Backyard Storage
Boat owners often need space for more than the boat itself.
If you also have an RV, trailer, work truck, or extra vehicle, see our RV, Car & Vehicle Storage options. For coolers, fishing gear, camping equipment, tools, and household overflow, Drive-Up Storage may be a better fit.
Pick the storage setup around how often you use the boat, how large the trailer is, and how much room you actually have at home. The right space should make getting to the water simpler.
