Imagine: You have lots of stuff. The pile of books you’ll “read someday” to the snowboard that you use just once a month brilliant storage. The situation looks like it belongs in a hoarding drama. Self-storage is the answer, cape and everything. Think of it as your personal lair. It’s just that you are storing seasonal gear, not costumes or gadgets.
These units are not just for storing excess items. Imagine using these units as jam studios. Yeah, you heard me right. Your neighbors will no longer be angry when you are practicing your drum solos at midnight. Be sure to check with the storage facility and make sure that they’re cool about it. Do not let your rock-star dreams be turned into a saga of storage unit eviction.
What’s the point of a couch, when you could use a treadmill to do your exercise? Consider storing your gym gear in a facility. It’s like having your own private gym. No more tripping on dumbbells when you’re trying to reach the fridge.
We’ll now dive into the details and give you some tips to help you choose the ideal storage unit.
1. Think Goldilocks. It’s the perfect size, not too big or too small. You don’t have to pay for extra space or end up playing Tetris because your stuff is too small.
2. Are there items that you own that dislike extremes of humidity or temperature? Consider purchasing a climate-controlled system to avoid your furniture warping or electronics being unsatisfied.
3. If you’re planning on visiting often, choosing a convenient location is important. Gas and your precious time are not cheap.
4. Ensure that you are well protected. You can use Fluffy, cameras, gates, and even Fluffy, the guard dog.
5. **Insurance**- The unexpected can happen. You can check to see if there is insurance available or if the policy you have will cover your needs.
Self-storage is more than just a way to get rid of things that you no longer use at home. It allows you to have more space (such as the ability to view your apartment floor). You can utilize the extra space for many things, such as decluttering and creating a home pottery studio.
You may be tempted by clutter in your kitchen, garage or basement if you keep a lot “I will need that one day” items. You can regain your space and sanity by using self-storage. And who knows? It’s possible that the storage unit you are renting is something more than just somewhere to store your belongings. It might be the site of the next big American Novel… or where you beat Super Mario Bros. level 7-4 without interruption. Know the basics.
