Putting belongings in a storage facility is an excellent option for keeping them safe when you’re unable to house them on your premises. However, not all storage units offer the same benefits. To help you find the perfect place to store your property, here’s what to look for when selecting a storage unit.

4 Factors to Consider When Choosing a Storage Unit

1. Security

Each storage facility provides different security features and levels of protection from theft and vandalism. Choose one that offers the degree of protection you need. Video surveillance, secure locks, and ample lighting keep storage units secure.

2. Accessibility

A storage facility should offer 24/7 access so you can store or retrieve your property whenever you need to. In addition, if you or anyone else who accesses your unit has difficulty climbing stairs, ensure the facility has available ground units. 

3. Climate Control

In dry or humid weather, furniture and electronics may crack and degrade. Place items of value in climate-controlled storage units. They’re the best safeguard against weather-related damage and decay, whether temperatures swing up or down or the atmosphere is dry or wet. 

4. Unit Size

Different storage facilities offer differently sized units. Before deciding on a facility, make sure its units provide sufficient space for your property. To ensure fit, choose a facility that serves residential and commercial clients. It’s likely to have a full range of unit sizes, from small to large.
