Self-storage units are not all the same. There are differences when it comes to costs; terms and conditions; customer service; security regulations; maintenance and hygiene; availability of transport units; packing; and, temperature control.

Convenience is crucial to self-storage users. It is an opportunity to get rid of clutter and keep the things in a temporary place until you decide what to do with these things. Self-storage also provides flexibility. However, you must learn about the proprietor's policies regarding access to belongings as well as opening/closing schedules.

Review costs carefully. Some deals may look good at the outset but be wary of hidden fees. Obtain an accurate estimate compare the price to other facilities near your place. Look for a company of good reputation preferably a licensed provider that adheres to best practices in the industry. Measurements count a lot. It is not logical to rent space that you will not utilize. Check out the storage location personally. Examine the entrance, automation systems like burglar alarms and surveillance cameras. Take care of your space to stay away from stiff fines. The unit is your major accountability. Therefore, make sure that the walls and floors are not damaged.

There are climate-controlled units designed specifically to protect your belongings from humidity. Remember that constant temperature changes can ruin items such as furnishings, upholstery and apparel. Temperature control means that units are fitted with the appropriate ventilation and air conditioning systems.

You cannot store pets, consumables (food), combustible objects, toxic chemicals, firearms, and explosives. Clarify this matter with management so you know what cannot be stored in rental spaces. Small storage units are capable of holding a lot of merchandise provided you stack items correctly. Majority of storage companies provide free or inexpensive transportation. Go over your contract related to the use of moving equipment.

Take into account these factors when you prepare things for storage. Almost all self storage facilities provide lifts. However, there are cases when you have to carry boxes manually. Lease schedules can be from a few weeks to several months. Longer storage arrangements will be more inexpensive. Regular sizes for storage units are 25, 50, 150, and 200 square feet.
