Most people are familiar with self storage facilities and what they’re often used for. We think of them as places to stash out extra stuff—those things we can’t bear to part with yet have nowhere practical to store at home. So we smash them all in to boxes and put them in to self storage units, where we promptly forget all about them. But storage units can also be used for an array of other things, particularly in newer, more modern facilities.
Aside from storing personal items from your home, businesses can rent out units in which they can store office equipment, unneeded furnishings, boxes of documents, excess inventory that is infrequently accessed, or anything else that simply needs to be moved out of the way for a bit. It can make for a cleaner and more open work space while also being assured that items are being stored safely and securely.
If you have a spare car or truck that you’re simply not using, or don’t intend to use for a period of time, there are self storage facilities that are equipped to handle them. They can even offer indoor, protected storage that will keep your vehicle clean and secure from theft. Or perhaps you own a vintage vehicle, or an RV, or even a racecar. All of these things can be stored at some self storage facilities that offer such services. This is a great alternative to trying to keep such things at your home, unless of course you have the most enormous garage around.
Once the summer season is over and your boat is once again blocking most of your driveway, you can consider the alternative of putting it in self storage as well. And even if the season isn’t over, it’s still a viable option since all you’ll need to do is drive over and hook it up and go whenever you want to use it, while keeping your driveway or yard free for other uses. Regardless of the reasons for storing your boat in self storage, it provides a safe and secure place for it, and also protects it from the elements, particularly during the months it sits there going unused.
If you have valuable, or even priceless, documents that need to be safely kept somewhere, you can consider the rental of a small storage unit for those as well. You may find that irreplaceable items such as these are significantly safer in a secure box within a secure, climate controlled storage unit than if they were left in your own home. Old photographs, old letters, wills, insurance policies, and anything else you need the utmost protection for will always be right where you left them, in the condition you left them.
