However big our home is, most of us tend to wish for that little extra space that we need. If you have ever felt like that, then you can possibly understand why many make use of the storage facility. There are a lot of factors that come in while choosing the right storage space.
The first and important detail that you need to look for in long-term storage is the nearness to your home. If you wish to access your storage facility frequently, then you definitely need to look for one that is in the nearby facility. After you have shortlisted some of the decent storage locations in your area, you will then need to look for a few other factors before finalizing on that one location.
Here are some of the important points that you definitely need to consider when you are zeroing in on one storage location.
1. Take Stock of the Storage Space
If you are storing your things for a short time, say during your relocation. Then you may go with a storage location recommended by your removal services and ask the removalists to drop off and pick up your stuff on your own.
In case you are looking for a long-term option, then it is best to visit the storage facility on your own. See the size that the different storage facility offers. Take stock of the entire volume of the space. It is always best to consider a little bigger size than what you need. It is better to have some free space than be short of space and have things piled up on one another till every inch of the ceiling. Consider the things that you can’t stack on one another and consider the volume of the storage space.
You can also take the suggestion of the manager at the storage unit to choose the right sized facility for your things.
2. Consider the Security Measures
Security is one of the important factors that you need to scout out and this can only be done when you visit in person. Even though you may have a conversation over a call about the security measures in place, nothing comes close to seeing all the measures on your own and getting a secure feeling about the measures employed.
See the number of security guards they have, security cameras, accident kits, fire extinguishers, sprinkler systems, the locks on the storage facilities and the system of gated entries. Only when you are sure that every one of the listed security measures is sound and functioning, you can choose that storage facility to save your belongings.
3. Consider the Ease of Use
See how easily you can load and unload your things from the allocated storage facility. If you are planning to visit often, then you need an easily accessible storage location. Depending on the size of the things you store, see if it will be easy for you to take in and out. Consider the pathway you need to take with the heaviest things you are placing in the storage facility.
Some storage options may be on the first level for which you need to maneuver your way to the above with the stuff. Therefore, consider the size, the distance and the accessibility of the pathways when choosing a storage facility.
