A desk. A fence. Or both.
Most contractors end up paying two bills to solve one problem — a coworking desk somewhere downtown, and a storage unit or gravel lot somewhere else, with a drive between them every time they need both. Base Yards is built so you don’t have to choose.
How the options actually compare
| Feature | Base Yards | Traditional Coworking | Self-Storage / Outdoor Lot |
|---|---|---|---|
| Feature | Base Yards | Traditional Coworking | Self-Storage / Outdoor Lot |
| Private, lockable office | Yes | Yes | No |
| Fenced yard for equipment & materials | Yes | No | Parking/storage only, no office |
| Business address for registration | Yes | Usually, often an add-on fee | No |
| 24/7 access | Yes | Varies by provider | Varies by facility |
| Built around contractors & trades | Yes | Not usually — geared toward remote workers and startups | Not usually — geared toward general storage, not job staging |
| Pricing | Flat $1,100–$1,300/mo, published up front | Often quote-based, varies by plan | Cheap for parking-only (roughly $40–$50/mo in the area), but that’s all you get |
| Community | Tenant networking events for tradespeople | General small-business networking | None |

Versus a storage unit or outdoor lot
A $40–$50/mo outdoor spot is fine if all you need is somewhere to park a trailer. It doesn’t get you an office, a business address, 24/7 secured access with a gate code tied to your business, or anywhere to meet a client. Add up a separate coworking membership to cover that gap, and the “cheap storage” option usually isn’t cheaper — it’s just split across two bills and two drives.
Versus traditional coworking
Regular coworking spaces are built for laptops, not job sites — they’re not set up for a truck in the lot, muddy boots, or a place to stage materials. Base Yards is a workspace that assumes you showed up in a work truck, because that’s who it’s for.
The short version
If you only need a desk, there are cheaper desks. If you only need to park a trailer, there are cheaper lots. If you need a real office, a business address, and secure yard space — together, at one address, for one flat price — that’s what Base Yards is for.
