Self Storage Units & Facilities

Moving, business ventures, life transitions and just running out of room create the question of what to do with items that aren't used on a daily basis. Because space is often at a premium during these life events, it is easy to run out of space. So, there is need the more space for these items. One of the options is to store the items yourself in a storage unit. These are some of the benefits of using this method as a storage option.

One of the benefits of self storage is that your items are protected from the weather elements. The storage spaces are protected from the intrusion of sun, rain and snow. Exposure to these elements will quickly cause damage to your items. Wooden items can become warped. Paperwork can completely disintegrate. Finishes can become ruined. Thus, limiting the exposure to the elements is important in preserving your items for future use.

Another benefit of self storage is that it is secure. Since access to the LockAway storage units is monitored, your items are safe from potential thieves. You can also add your own locks. So, only you and the people you authorize have the key or combination to the unit. This limits the access to your items to help keep them safely stored in your unit.

Choosing the amount of storage space for a self storage unit is another benefit. You can choose a space that will adequately accommodate all of your items. This is handy if you are moving from one place to another and need lots of room for furniture or if you are simply storing a room full of items for a quick room remodel. The amount of space needed is determined by the amount of items you need to store.

You also can organize your storage unit as you desire. You can group business items together and separate it from personal items. You can also make sure your fragile items are handled carefully and safely when put into the self storage unit.

The self storage unit also allows you to access your items anytime you need them. While you will have to go through the security measures at night and in the off hours, you still can retrieve items from the space as you need them.

Another benefit of LockAway self storage is that it provides both temporary and long term storage. This means you can take a contract out on the unit for as long as you need it. While some events such as moving only require a short term lease, other events such as storing items for a business can be a long term proposition.

These are the benefits of storing your items in a storage unit. While the need for space is often at a premium when changes in life come about, a storage unit can help alleviate some of the questions about what to do with stuff where there is nowhere to put it. This helps to ensure that there is enough space for the things in your life.
