What are storage spaces?
Storage units are simply spaces, usually inside a larger building, where you can store items for a month at a time. There is outdoor storage, but the majority of self storage is indoor storage.
Five things to know about storage units.
We cannot answer all of your questions, or provide the entire wealth of information about storage units, in one article, but we can answer the five most often asked questions about it.
First, storage units come in a variety of sizes, from the smallest, usually 5’x5’, to the largest, 10’x30’ or sometimes larger.
Second, the price of the unit increases as the size increases. In addition, you can always pay extra for things like climate control self storage, electricity, or 24/7 access.
Third, practically anything you can imagine can be stored, and this includes car storage, small hobby shops, RV self storage, and boat storage units. However, there is a short list of things which cannot be stored, and these include perishables, explosives, and illegal items such as drugs.
Fourth, not all storage places are secure. There are four levels of security i.e. fenced perimeter, on-site management, video surveillance, and individualized, computerized key cards. Not all storage facilities have all four levels of security available.
Fifth, all you need to rent a storage unit is current I.D. and be over eighteen years of age, twenty-one in some states.
Is self storage worth the money?
We believe it is worth the money, but we obviously cannot answer for everyone. Truly secure self storage spaces are great for peace of mind, knowing your possessions and valuables are safe from thieves, vandals, and Mother Nature. Freeing up space around the house or around your business is great for relieving stress and providing you with more room for living and conducting business. Considering the continued growth of the self storage industry, it is safe to say that millions of Americans believe self storage spaces are worth the expense.
