How It Works

From Delivery to Done. In About an Hour.

Secure Storage. Step by Step.

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

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.

We Deliver It 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.

Our crew arrives on a flatbed truck and a trailer with your vault loaded flat-stacked. (Or you can arrange pickup at our Gallup location.) No semi-truck, no crane.”

Panels Move Through Your Gate

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.

We Build It On-Site

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.

You Lock It. You’re Done.

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.

Move It When You Move

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, we’ll walk through the specifics of your site or 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 everything figured out before reaching out. Tell us where the unit’s going and roughly what you need to store. We’ll handle the rest, size recommendation, delivery, install.
