A self-service storage is a
storage space lent to users for smaller amount of items. This may include
lockers, out-door storage, and containers. This kind of storage is also called
self-service storage because the tenant has to attend to his item for a short
period of time only. Self-service storage space is also called mini storage.
Mini storage is not only employed by an individual person but it can also be
used by businesses and other commercial or corporate needs.
Having a mini storage unit can be
very helpful especially if you are moving some of your stuff in to your new
place. Different from other storage spaces, a mini storage unit is not
recommended for storing seasonal stuff like Christmas decor and holiday items
since mini storage space is only rented for a short time. Because of the
short-time usage, mini storage units should be utilized well. Here are some
tips and reminders in properly using your storage space.
1. Secure all your boxes so that
flooding or molten snow will not be able to devastate your stuff. You are
renting a mini storage unit to have a secure storage space for your items, so
you have to put your boxes above or away from the floor.
2. To fully secure your items and
to avoid adverse environmental effects or infestation, you can also use
industrial plastic to wrap your stuff. Wrapping your items will also keep them
from having or accumulating dust.
3. For your mini storage unit, you
should have your own lock. Renting it from a storage space provider does not
mean that the company will be able to strictly monitor your unit. Since it is a
mini storage, most probably, there are many units to attend to. To have a very
secure storage space, you can have your own keys or lock system.
4. Lastly, and the most important
reminder, plan! Since you are renting only for a short period of time, you must
be able to identify which stuff should e stored. You should also come up with a
floor design or layout to properly stack your boxes. By having a good design,
you will be able to properly utilize every storage space in your mini storage
unit.
