    5 Points to Consider when Choosing a Storage Unit

    Choosing a Storage Unit

    March 21, 2018 //  by WSI Marketing

    Once you’ve decided to purchase a storage unit, it’s time to find one that’s right for you. Choosing a storage unit that’s right for you is important for keeping your belongings safe, in the right condition, and available when you need them. Here are 5 things to consider that will help you find a great storage unit.

    Choosing the Size of Space You Need

    Begin by visualizing how much space you’ll need in storage with what you’re planning to store and additional items you may store in the future.  For example, a 5 ft x 10 ft space can fit a dresser, couch, chair, and still have space for a few stacks of boxes. Not having enough space might require you to upgrade, but most storage facilities make the process as simple as possible.

    Determine if Climate Control is Right for You

    Are you storing documents, antiques, photographs, electronic equipment, or musical instruments? If so, you should consider a air-cooled storage unit. This keeps the space within a specified temperature range, helping to keep your sensitive items in ideal condition.

    Facility Condition

    The facility should be clean, well-kept, and maintained. It’s important for the condition of your storage unit that the entire facility be maintained. Failing equipment can leave your materials exposed to the elements and lead to damage.

    Facility Security

    The two most important components for storage facility security are a gated fence and surveillance system. The fence should surround the entire perimeter and the gate should either require a code for entry or be staffed during business hours. Second is a surveillance system that covers the entire facility. This security combination helps keep the facility and your belongings safe day and night.

    Facility Access & Location

    Consider how frequently you think you’ll need to access your storage unit. Are you storing business or household documents that you may need throughout the year? If so, think about locations you visit as frequently as you anticipate visiting the storage unit and which of those places felt a bit too far away. That will give you an idea of what area you should look in for a storage facility. Also think about when you’ll need to access your storage unit. Most people do not need 24-hour access to a storage unit, but if you work at night or are unable to reach the storage facility during the day, you may consider a late-night facility.

    Considering these 5 points will help you avoid hassle and frustration later.  Once you know the location and type of storage unit you’re looking for, find a solution that fits your budget. Choosing based on the lowest price alone can leave your belongings vulnerable to the risks noted above. Be sure that you only consider storage facilities that will keep your belongings secure and accessible for your needs. This will help make sure that you have a positive experience while storing your items.
