Choosing the Right Self-Storage and why it Matters

Choosing the Right Self-Storage and why it Matters

07/03/2024 16:35


Self-storage, that elusive place where we stash all the stuff we can't bear to part with but don't necessarily want to keep at home. It's a lifesaver when moving house, attending university, or if you’ve simply run out of room. But – not all storage solutions are created equally and so it's worth putting some thought into finding the right type for you.

Secure:

First off, let's talk security. Your belongings deserve to be safe and sound - so don't settle for anything with less than top-notch security features. Look for facilities with sturdy locks, security cameras, and maybe even on-site staff keeping an eye out. You wouldn't leave your valuables with just anyone, so why leave them in a less-than-best storage unit?

Accessible:

Picture this – you're in the middle of a house move, and you suddenly remember you desperately need that box of kitchen gadgets you packed away. Cue the frantic search through a maze of storage units with wonky access hours. Not ideal! Choose a facility that offers easy access to your belongings whenever you need it and future you will be thanked you for it.

Climate Control:

It might sound fancy, but it's essential, especially if you're storing items that are sensitive to temperature changes and humidity. Thi electronics, artwork, or even that vintage vinyl collection you've been hoarding. A climate-controlled with a professional dehumidifier unit can help protect your things from the elements and ensure it stays in tip-top shape when it comes to taking it back home.

Cost:

And of course, there's the matter of cost. No one likes forking out big money for storage, but sometimes it’s a necessity. That said, don't    just go for the cheapest option without considering what you're getting in return. Hidden fees, lacklustre security, or inconvenient access hours can end up costing you more in the long run.
