How It Works

From Delivery to Done. In About an Hour.

No contractors. No crane access. No site preparation. My Yard Vault units arrive flat, move through any standard gate or access point, and assemble on-site with basic tools.

The Difference

Not a Container. A Smarter Way to Store.

Traditional storage forces a choice between convenience and durability. Sheds are easy to install, but are built from materials that warp, rot, and fail. Shipping containers are built to last but require cranes, wide access paths, and permanent placement.

My Yard Vault removes that trade-off entirely.

Our flat-pack steel units are engineered for real-world conditions – galvanized steel construction that holds up outdoors, panels designed to move through any standard access point, and an assembly system that puts you in control from day one. No specialists. No heavy equipment. No compromise.

Whether it’s going in a backyard or on a job site, the process is the same: delivered flat, carried into place, assembled on-site, ready the same day.

No Crane. No Problem.

Panels fit through a standard 36" gate. No access restrictions. No site modifications needed.

The Process

Simple From Start to Finish.

We designed this process to remove every friction point that makes traditional storage complicated. No specialists required. No access restrictions. No waiting.

Your Unit Ships Flat

Unlike traditional storage structures, My Yard Vault units are engineered to ship as flat panels. No oversized freight. No special delivery vehicle requirements. Panels are compact enough to be transported in a standard truck or trailer.

Step — 03

Panels Move To Your Location

This is the step that surprises most people. Because the panels are flat and manageable, they move through standard backyard gates, along side yards, and into tight access areas that would stop a shipping container cold. No path widening. No fence removal. No access ramp construction.

Access that works
Step — 04

Assembled On-Site With Basic Tools

Assembly is designed to be completed by a small crew – typically two to three people – using standard hand tools. No welding. No specialist tradespeople. No heavy machinery on-site. The system is engineered for straightforward, repeatable assembly with clear panel sequencing.

Ready to Use the Same Day

Once assembled, your unit is immediately operational. Secure the locking system, load your gear, and you’re done. There’s no cure time, no inspection period, no waiting for anything to dry or set.

Same-day ready means
Step — 06

Move It Whenever You Need To

If your needs change — you move homes, a project wraps up, a business relocates — your unit doesn’t stay behind. Disassembly follows the same process in reverse. Panels pack flat, transport easily, and reassemble at the next location. Most customers complete a full disassembly and reassembly in under two hours.

Common Questions

Things People Ask Before They Order.

If your question isn’t covered here, reach out directly – we’re happy to walk through the specifics of your site, your use case, or your timeline.

Do I need a permit to install one of these units?

Permit requirements vary by municipality and property type. In most residential cases, portable storage structures that are not permanently anchored do not require a building permit — but we recommend checking with your local authority before installation. We’re happy to help you understand what applies to your situation.

What kind of surface does the unit need to sit on?

Any reasonably level surface works — concrete, pavers, compacted gravel, or level ground. The unit does not require a concrete slab or permanent foundation.

Can one person assemble it?

Assembly is designed for 2–3 people. One person can manage parts of it, but panel handling and alignment is significantly easier with a second set of hands. We recommend having at least two people available.

How long does assembly actually take?

Most units assemble in approximately one hour with two people. Larger units (16′ and 19′) may take closer to 90 minutes. First-time assemblers typically take a little longer — the second time is noticeably faster.

What happens if I need to move it?

Disassembly follows the same steps in reverse. Panels pack flat and transport in a standard truck or trailer. Most customers complete a full relocation in under two hours.

Is it actually secure?

Yes. The units are built from galvanized steel with a heavy-duty T-handle locking system. They are significantly more tamper-resistant than standard garden sheds and comparable in security to purpose-built on-site storage containers.

Can I add shelving and accessories later?

Yes. Interior shelving, locking systems, pipe racks, and other accessories can be added at any time. You don’t need to order everything upfront — the system is modular by design.

Ready When You Are

Start With a Simple Conversation.

You don’t need to have everything figured out before reaching out. Tell us where the unit is going, roughly what you need to store, and we’ll handle the rest, from size recommendation to delivery coordination.
