Self storage has been around for a while. Businessmen, private individuals and families are increasingly taking advantage of the storage solutions available. Consumer purchasing habits are on the rise. This makes the accumulation of goods at home or at work unnoticeable until you realize that it is time for you to move them. Simply stated, self storage refers to renting storage units that are designated as units and located at a structure called a self storage facility. Access to your items is easy, with many facilities open around the clock. The facilities are kept clean and dry so that your items do not get damaged.

The self storage owners have security personnel, state-of the-art surveillance, gate and fence locks, and door alarms that provide protection against possible burglary. Clients can choose to supply their own locks. As the only key holder of the storage unit, the client can access your belongings. You can rent on a long or short term basis. Others services may be offered by certain facilities, including climate control settings for specific materials and packing supplies for an extra fee. Some facilities might also offer insurance. Self storage has made it very easy for clients to store. The advent of mobile storage makes it even easier to store. It’s a special form of self storage in which mobile storage companies deliver portable containers to your office or doorstep. After packing, either the provider or you can do it yourself, the company retrieves the containers from your office and places them in its own facility. This allows clients to save time and money (for rental trucks and gas) by putting the containers in their own facility.
