Finding Storage Near Me

Storage Units in Your Area

What They Are and Why You Might Need One

A storage unit is a space you can temporarily store your belongings. People need them for many reasons. During a move, there may be an intermediate time when you are already moved out of your home but are not yet ready to move into your new home.

You can also use storage to help with the move. Containers and pods sit outside of your home while you pack them, allowing you to fill them at your leisure. Then, they get loaded onto a truck and placed at your new destination once you are ready to unpack.

Seasonal storage is perfect for college students who might only need it for the summer, in between semesters. Many seasonal businesses also rent a unit to store extra products or promotional displays during the off-season.

Types of Storage Near Me

What type of space should you get to store your items? It really depends on your needs. There are several types of units available:

Climate-controlled storage is great for items that might be sensitive to humidity or cold and heat. These units have heating and air conditioning to keep them at a certain temperature. Some temperature-controlled units also have humidity controls.

Indoor storage means that the unit is in a building. You must walk through the building to get to your unit. Most people use a dolly or hand truck to move things in and out of the building. Some buildings have security features like cameras or on-site staff 24/7.

Drive-up units have outdoor entrances. You can usually drive your car or truck right up to the door. Most of these units have a roll-up door for easy access.

Storage Space Sizes

In addition to types of spaces, there are also different sizes to choose from. How do you know which size is right for you?
