Tips for Choosing a Self-Storage Facility
Are you tired of being crowded by the overcrowding in your home or office? If you have too much stuff and not enough space, it’s time to let POUCH Self Storage help you decide on the best sized storage unit. Self Storage is convenient and lets you keep the things you need or want without tripping over them or getting rid of them. Free up space in your closets, basement, office or attic so your home can finally be an organized, clutter-free zone. Not all storage facilities are the same, however, so it’s important to know what to look for when you’re choosing one.
Check the Hours of Accessibility
It’s great to be at an outside facility—but when you need to retrieve something from your storage unit, you need to be able to get inside. Before you select a self storage facility, ask what hours you’ll be able to access your unit. It’s best to choose a storage facility that’s open every day of the week, as you never know when you might need to access your unit.
Ask about Security
Storing your belongings safely means more than just putting a lock on your storage unit. Ask for a tour of the storage facility before you make a commitment, be sure to inquire about the security. Look for cameras, individual door alarms, 24-hour monitoring, an on-site manager, video surveillance , and find out who is able to access the storage area. If you feel hesitant about the level of security don’t hesitate, continue your search.
Consider the Location
The location of your storage facility is also important to consider, especially if you think you’ll be accessing it on a fairly regular basis. You can choose a storage facility that’s relatively close to your home or work so you don’t have to drive too far to get there. When you rent your self-storage unit, find out if you can choose where your unit itself will be located within the facility.
