Abstract

There is disclosed a portable self-storage system comprising a portable container, a portable fence comprising a keypad, wherein the portable fence surrounds the portable container, a portable light, wherein the portable light is a solar powered light that is portable, and a storage medium storing a program having instructions which when executed by a processor will cause the processor to control and operate the portable container, the portable fence, and the portable light.

Claims

1. A portable self-storage system comprising:

a portable container;

a portable fence comprising a keypad, wherein the portable fence surrounds the portable container;

a portable light, wherein the portable light is a solar powered light that is portable; and

a storage medium storing a program having instructions which when executed by a processor will cause the processor to control and operate the portable container, the portable fence, and the portable light.

2. The system of claim 1, wherein the storage medium further comprises instructions which when executed will cause the processor to determine a number of portable containers for a site layout plan and generate an order for a manufacturer to create a the number of portable containers.

3. The system of claim 1 wherein the storage medium includes instructions for opening the portable fence when a code is entered on the keypad.

4. The system of claim 1 wherein the portable container includes a keypad to obtain access to the portable container.

5. The system of claim 1, further comprising a second portable container, wherein the second portable container is bolted to the portable container by using a metal fastener.

6. The system of claim 1, further comprising a closed-circuit television that is installed within the system.

7. The system of claim 5 wherein the second portable container is smaller in size than the first portable container.

8. A method for creating a portable self-storage system comprising:

determining a size of a land that is available for the portable self-storage system;

determining a number of portable containers;

determining a security mechanism for monitoring the portable self-storage system; and

determining a portable light for the portable self-storage system; and

installing the number of portable containers, the portable light, and the security mechanism, wherein the installation occurs in less than two weeks.

9. The method of claim 8, wherein access to the portable self-storage system is provided by using a keypad on the entrance to the portable self-storage system.

10. The method of claim 9, wherein a user uses his fingerprint to obtain access to the portable self-storage system.

11. The method of claim 8, wherein the installation further comprises bolting the portable containers to each other.
