A guide into the world of self-storage
You’d be surprised at how many people suffer from the curse of having too many things. If you’re one of us, you’ll understand just how frustrating it is to own so many thigs without a place to put them all. Whether you’re a business owner who needs alternative storage or a homeowner whose backroom just won’t fit all your items anymore, there’s a lot of room in your life for self-storage units.
What is self-storage?
Self-storage is an industry that allows businesses like ours to rent out storage units to people like you who are in need of the extra space. It’s much more pragmatic and cost effective compared to using a warehouse, especially if all you’re looking for is a bit of extra space for your possessions.
Self-storage units can be formed from several things like rooms, lockers, containers or outdoor spaces. These units should have redundant security measures to ensure that your items are always secured. Here at Pretoria East Storage, security is our number one priority.
Now that we have a better understanding of what self-storage is and what it can do for you, let’s take a quick look at some of the benefits of having your own self-storage unit.
Protection from Environmental Damage
Have you ever noticed how some of the stuff you’ve stored in your basement, spare room or attic may develop unusual signs of wear or degradation? This is because the climate of where your valuables are stored is just as important as the boxes or bubble wrap they’re in.
Home storage can have a negative impact on your valuables because of the dark, cold and often damp spaces you choose to put your stuff in. This isn’t a problem with self-storage since storage units are dry and often have a controlled climate environment to protect the integrity of your valuables.
Cost effective storage
The best aspect of self-storage though is its cost effectiveness. When you rent out a storage unit from a reputable storage provider like ours, you get the best bang for your buck because you’ll only pay for the storage you use.
This is especially beneficial if you’re someone who’s always on the move. Having an affordable storage unit will allow you to literally live on the road with peace of mind knowing that all your valuables are safely secured.
Extra Security from Theft
The self-storage industry prides itself on the security it offers its customers. Here at Pretoria East Storage, we take the security of your valuables as seriously as you do. Our facility is fitted with a 24-hour CCTV system as well as an alarm system that is linked with an armed response company that has patrolling responders who patrol regularly.
