Boats Off the Water? Keep Them Safe and Sound with Sheeplands.
As the days get shorter and the air turns cooler, it’s that time of year again — the end of boating season. Across Berkshire, boat owners are hauling vessels out of the Thames, giving them a good clean, and preparing them for winter.
But once your boat’s off the water… where does it go next?
At Sheeplands Self Storage, we’ve got the perfect home for your pride and joy during the colder months. Our secure vehicle storage compound is ideal for boats, trailers, and jet skis — giving you peace of mind that they’re safe, dry, and ready for next year’s adventures.
Why Choose Sheeplands for Boat Storage?
Easy access – pop in whenever you need to check or tinker with your boat.
Excellent security – CCTV, gated access, and on-site staff mean your boat’s well protected.
Flexible stays – whether you need space for a few months or longer, we’ve got you covered.
Perfect for all sizes – from small river cruisers to larger boats on trailers.
And if you’ve got cushions, lifejackets, ropes, or any other kit that needs to stay clean and dry, our indoor storage rooms are just the ticket. You can keep everything together and ready for next spring — no damp surprises or cluttered garages.
Your Winter Boating Checklist
Before you store your boat, don’t forget to:
Drain and dry everything thoroughly.
Remove soft furnishings and electronics.
Give the hull a good clean and a fresh coat of wax.
Pop smaller bits (like covers and cushions) in one of our indoor storage rooms for extra protection.

Cleanest storage facility I have seenPosted on Francine GregoryTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Really professional storage facility. I recently moved my motorhome here and at last I have somewhere that is very easy to access, is on clean hardstanding, has plenty of room to manoeuvre and has excellent security. There is also a very friendly reception office that is staffed during working hours, Monday to Friday, who are happy to answer any queries you have. It may be fairly pricy, but it’s worth it for peace of mind.Posted on Rachel ThornTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google.

Lovely people and very easy process. 5 Stars Plus!Posted on Alison WhitfieldTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Following a house sale and subsequent gear shift in life, I currently live a rather nomadic lifestyle, travelling around the country dog&house-sitting, and so have been storing my goods & chattels at Sheeplands in Wargrave for a few years now. My experience of this lovely local family firm has been unequivocally positive - the location is peaceful and safe, the security strong and completely trustworthy, the access arrangements convenient and easy to navigate and the team nothing but kind, friendly and helpful. As individuals, everyone is exceptionally warm and welcoming, and as a professional organisation, they have been so flexible, supportive and generous as my needs have evolved and as I have become a longer-term client. They do what they do so very well, and I have no hesitation at all in recommending them to the world. All of it.Posted on Jayne ParsonsTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. All the staff were really helpful and friendly the facilities are great - just what we needed. The process was straightforward. Excellent service and will recommend to others.Posted on Annette FulkerTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. We highly recommend Sheeplands storage. From the warm welcome at Reception. To our friendly, informative, meeting with Harleen, to look at, and secure the storage that suited us. The whole experience was stress free, and enjoyable. They really do deliver on their promise of ‘The Sheeplands’ Hug’, highly recommend!Posted on Andrew NormanTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. The staff are friendly and helpful. Normal access to the storage unit is very good (7.00am until 9.00pm). The units themselves are very clean and actually look quite new. There are various trolleys and sack lifts for moving bulkier or heavy items. All in all very good experience so far
