Many have growing families and discover that they need more space for a while until their children decide to leave. If you fit any of the above, read on and review everything you need to know about acquiring a long-term storage unit.
Should you choose interior or exterior long term storage?
The storage facilities offer indoor access units and outdoor access units. The sizes of the indoor units range from 5×5 to 10×15. The outdoor units are 5×5 up to 12×30. The benefits of storage units for outdoor units are that it is easy to unload or load your belongings. However, if you are storing in the long term, there are benefits for indoor units, which remain cleaner.
Although there may be rubber seals on the bottom of the external unit doors, the dust still enters. No matter what the weather outside, even if it’s at 100 degrees or if there’s a foot of snow in the winter, you can still see clean, dry halls where you can sort your belongings.
