Moving and finding storage go hand in hand. Chances are if you are relocating, you have to put some of your belongings in storage. And unless you’re paying the moving companies extra to use their storage building, chances are you’re going to have to rent a self-storage unit.
Self storage units -- those boxy, mini-warehouse buildings that line the sides of highways nationwide. Renting self storage units seems like a pretty open and shut job: you open the door to your self-storage unit, you shove your belongings in, and you lock the doors. But public self storage isn’t quite that simple. Even though it’s just sitting there, there’s a lot that could happen to your belongings in self-storage. It’s important that you pick the right self-storage facility and once you do, it’s even more important you pack your self storage unit correctly.
The following pieces of advice may help you to make most of the storage
Location: an important element. If you need the self storage facilities on a regular basis, you need one very near to your home. However, if you are making a long distance relocation and on route you need a storage, you can pick up a reputable storage facility.
Consider how much space you really need. Self-storage facilities rent units in all different sizes. It’s best to opt for a smaller storage unit and pack it to the ceiling rather than pay for space you’re not using. If even the smallest storage units are too much, look into mini-storage facilities: self-storage facilities that specialize in small loads.
Be sure to ask facility representatives how and when you can access your unit. Most self-storage and mini-storage facilities allow for free access 24 hours a day, but some facilities have restrictions and others charge fees for access.
Also ask about climate controlled units. If you’re storing anything valuable or delicate – like antique furniture or important documents – it could be warped by being stored in space that’s too hot, too cold or too humid. For an extra cost, most public storage facilities can set you up with a unit where temperature and humidity are restricted.
