It’s not enough to find the cheapest or closest option when it comes to choosing ministorage. This decision requires a little more thought. Let’s look at some of the key things you should consider – extra resources!
Location is first on the list. Imagine that you will be visiting the place many times. You don’t need a storage facility in the middle nowhere. You need it to be convenient. You could go there after you’ve picked up your groceries. The clock is ticking!
Let’s talk about security. You can’t just stash your comics in an old shed. You’ve gotta do your homework. Consider features such as CCTV, strong locks and even a guard on site. Think of Fort Knox, but with your lamps and paperwork.
Size is important. Goldilocks is the ideal size: neither too large nor too small but just right. You don’t want to feel like sardines packed in a can nor do you want to pay for a room that feels empty. Choose a storage option that fits your needs.
Many people overlook climate control. This feature can be a lifesaver if you store items that are susceptible to damage from extreme temperature or humidity. Imagine your old vinyl records melting into pancakes. It’s not a pretty site. If you have sensitive items, choose a facility with climate control.
Let’s talk briefly about the hours of access. Many places restrict access. Some places may only allow you to enter during business hours. You’ll want a facility with 24/7 access if you like to rummage at midnight. The dream is to be able to access your items whenever you want.
