Parade Float Storage in New Orleans, LA
When Carnival season wraps, your float and its décor still need somewhere safe to sit until the next roll. General DeGaulle Storage offers secure, large-footprint storage and drive-up access on the West Bank – a practical base for krewes and float builders who need oversized seasonal space close to home.
The facility sits on Woodland Highway in the Tall Timbers area of Algiers, an easy drive along General De Gaulle Drive and US-90, and just across the Crescent City Connection from downtown New Orleans and the CBD. That puts it within reach of krewes and dens across Algiers Point, Aurora, and Behrman, as well as Gretna, Terrytown, and Harvey.
Storing the décor
Drive-up access lets you bring a trailer-mounted truck float right up to the space for loading and unloading, and the property is gated, well-lit, and backed by on-site management for year-round peace of mind. Because every truck float is a different size, the right space depends on your float’s dimensions, trailer length, and clearance needs.
Storing the float
A float’s paper, fabric, and foam décor takes the hardest hit from Louisiana’s heat and humidity between parades. Climate-controlled units are available to help hold a steadier temperature and humidity level, protecting sensitive decorations so they’re ready to roll next season. Call to confirm climate-controlled space sized for what you’re storing.

How to Prepare Your Mardi Gras Float for Storage
A little prep keeps a float roll-ready for next season:
- Remove all throws, beads, and perishable items before storing.
Clean off debris, confetti, and any food or drink residue that can attract pests. - Cover or wrap delicate décor (paper, fabric, foam, sculptural elements) to protect it from dust.
Secure loose decorations and moving parts so nothing shifts in transit or storage. - If the float is trailer-mounted, check tire pressure and chassis condition before parking long-term.
- Photograph the float from multiple angles to document its condition.
- Note any repairs needed so you can tackle them before the next build season.
- Store fragile or detachable pieces separately if they’re easier to protect off the float.
