When it comes to reducing clutter in your space or keeping valuable items secure, there are plenty of available storage options you can choose from. Homeowners and business owners can benefit from renting portable storage or self-storage units housed in public facilities. While both serve a similar purpose, each has its fair share of pros and cons. 

Portable Storage

Portable storage involves the delivery of a container right at your doorstep where you can fill it at your convenience. Renting portable storage is less expensive than hiring a full-service moving company, and it allows for greater control when packing your possessions for relocation. Storage companies can ship your container to its intended location or have it stored in a facility temporarily. For homeowners and business owners with available space in their properties, they can choose to keep portable storage units on-site for quick access. Because portable containers are well-secured and tightly sealed against natural elements, you’re assured that your belongings are safe and protected.

Public Storage

In addition to locks or keypad entry, self-storage units or public storage are housed inside a secure facility. Access may differ for every facility and may be limited to specific operating hours, which makes it difficult to retrieve items when it’s closed. Depending on your stored items, you can choose between climate-controlled units for extra protection or drive-up units for convenience. Self-storage can be a cost-effective solution for apartment or condo residents who usually don’t have yard space for portable containers. If you’re moving within the same locale or trying to downsize, a self-storage unit might be more suitable for you in the long run.
