Preparation for Your First Time Using a Storage Unit

January 19, 2022 by kj Leave a Comment

Whether you’re in the middle of a move or just running short on storage space at home, there are plenty of ways that a storage unit can be of great assistance. If you’ve never purchased a self-storage unit before, there are some things to keep in mind to make sure that you not only have enough space but aren’t breaking the bank to make sure that your belongings are safely stored away from your property.

Explore free quotes for a storage unit.

When looking for available storage units in your area, you’ll want to make sure that your search is within the realm of where you’ll have easy access to it. If you need your unit to bring things in and out of your house, search nearby storage facilities based on your home’s ZIP code. If you are running a local business, you may want to invest in a storage solution that’s closer to the business or is within a driving distance between your home and the job site.

You’ll also want to consider the amenities that a storage facility has to offer. If you need to get into your unit during off-hours, check the access hours for the facility, as well as whether or not there’s a gate code you can punch in to get inside 24/7. For certain documents or furniture, you may need a climate control-friendly unit to accommodate those items. If you have questions about the approximate size estimate of a unit, you can reach out to the property manager of the facility, who will welcome new customers by allowing them to truly assess the size of a unit and what it can do for their belongings.

Be sure to organize your unit accordingly.

When looking for storage units to accommodate your needs, you want to make sure that you are investing in a unit that makes things as easy as possible for you. For example, college students who dorm may want storage space to keep their belongings when they head back home for the summer. In addition to having peace of mind that their possessions are safe, they want to invest in an outdoor self-storage unit to allow for easier load-out at the end of the semester and load-in when it’s time to get back to school.

When examining unit availability at storage facilities, you want to make sure that everything from drawers and cabinets to appliances and papers is sorted out for quick access. The last thing you want is to be searching and scrounging through a mess. If you’re investing in a self-storage unit as a collector or vendor, you want to make sure that everything is easily accessible to send off to a buyer. The last thing you want is to have to cancel a sale because of a lack of organization.

Make sure you have enough space to function.

When exploring these storage options, you’ll want to take an assessment of the number of things you need to be stored and the actual space sizes. The last thing that you want is to empty your wallet for storage space only to have way too much space left over. Be sure to work with a storage facility to understand sizing a little bit better. If you have concerns or need to upgrade or downsize, a facility manager may show you additional spaces within the storage facility that will suit your changing requirements.

While you may find it in your best interest to cram all of your belongings into a smaller unit because it’s cheaper, consider the risk that comes with all of your stuff on top of each other. You don’t want to be caught underneath a pile or at risk of getting hurt because you have little room to move around and function in your storage unit. Explore the full details before you get ready to move on in.
