Storage Tips
Why Rent a Storage Unit?
Moving
Did you recently sell your house? Are you moving to a smaller space while you search for or build a new home? Many families find a storage unit as an affordable and viable option during this period of transition.
Business Items
Small business owners often have inventory, files or equipment that they keep on hand in case they need it, but they don’t have room for it at their business or home. Self-storage is the perfect solution to store extra business supplies and equipment.
Downsizing
Perhaps you’re seeking a smaller space and need a unit to securely hold family belongings until they can be transitioned to the next generation.
Kids in Transition
Whether you’re storing baby items or keeping the belongings of a child who has gone to college, self-storage lets you hang onto the items you’ll need again without cluttering your home. It may even be less expensive to use self-storage rather than staying in a larger home just for the space.
What should I consider when choosing a storage facility?
Not all self-storage units are created alike. There are many things to consider:
Downsizing
If you will be traveling back and forth to your unit several times a month, this will be more important than if you only plan on accessing your belongings once or twice a year.
Storage unit size
Self-storage units come in a variety of sizes. A-1 Self-Storage has 10 different sizes available, starting at 5×10 (the size of a small closet) to 12×50 (large enough to house an RV, boat, and/or furniture and belongings from a large home).
Climate control
In a climate-controlled storage unit, the temperature remains constant, protecting sensitive belongings. It also helps resist dust, pests, humidity, and more threats to your valuables. We have three unit sizes that are climate controlled – 5×10, 10×10, and 10×15.
Security
Are you looking for increased security? A-1 Self Storage has units available that feature video surveillance, and other security features.
