Storage facilities have always been a solution to help de-clutter homes and office spaces, and are great temporarily solutions for storing possessions. Many facilities offer flexible lease options so you can use the facility for as little or as long as you need it.
Though these facilities are a good and safe choice for different needs related to storage, Huntsville residents will want to consider a few important features when selecting a facility in which to store their possessions.
Size and Space of the Unit
It is necessary to determine the storage size you will need before you start packing for your move. People can choose a unit that is too small to try to save money, and end up not having enough room. Most facilities’ sales representatives are very knowledgeable in helping you in the process of choosing the right size unit. Just let the representative know what your needs are based on the amount of items you need stored.
Climate Control
Some items that you will need to store can become damaged in certain climate conditions. If your storage space is a first floor outdoor unit, how can you be certain that the snow or rain will not leak in from under the door? At the same time, high humidity can damage certain furniture and other items. Climate controlled units are the solution to temperature and climate generated problems at these facilities. Climate controlled units keep control of the temperature in the unit so it stays warm enough during the winter, and cool enough in the summer. Take inventory of your possessions to determine if you will need a climate control unit.
Facility Security
Make sure that the facility you choose has reliable security measures in place. Look for storage facilities that are well lit at night. Also, look for facilities that have security personnel or security cameras. A fire protection system is also another beneficial feature to have in a facility. This will help to protect your values from loss due to theft.
By considering these three features, you will have a better idea of what to expect when looking for storage solutions for your home or office in the Huntsville area.
