Have you outgrown your home or apartment and just don't have anymore room to store things? You're not alone. Hundreds of thousands of people have faced the same dilemma and have chosen self-storage as the solution to their problem.
Consumers now have a wide choice of storage facilities in order to meet their need, and most providers are willing to compete for your business.
Self storage is a private and secure space that you rent on a monthly basis in order to keep items you don't want to - or can't - keep at your home. Some are like mini-garages, others even provide temperature and humidity control.
Self storage units are available in a wide range of sizes. The largest space is usually 20' x 20' and can hold five rooms worth of furniture. The smallest space is typically 50 square feet (5' x 10') and is large enough to hold one room of furniture and boxes.
Self-storage units are rented on a month-to-month basis, so you only pay for as long as you need it. This is great, because it doesn't lock you into a long rental period. On the other hand, if you need storage space for an extended period of time, you can usually get a discount if you prepay or make a long term commitment. This is also the case if you need to rent multiple units.
Credit card is the most common form of payment for self storage, although most facilities will also accept cash or check. Many places even prefer to makes arrangements with you for automatic monthly transactions. Payments are made for the coming month.
Self-storage puts you in control of how you use the space you rent. You're the one who moves items in and out of the unit, unless you hire movers to do it for you. Otherwise, though, it's the same as a storage room in your house, only it's offsite. You are the only one with access to the unit. During the rental period, you can access the space 24/7 without any additional charges.
Most Columbus storage facilities have tall steel wire fencing encircling their perimeters. Access to the compound is obtained by entering a main gate that opens only once you've punched in a private security code. The gate closes after you. Most facilities also have flood lights at night and security cameras 24/7.
Most facilities have concrete aprons surrounding the storage buildings and paved driveways, so you can drive your vehicle right up to your unit's door. Even when it rains you don't have to worry about getting muddy. Best of all, your storage unit is private: it's your space and you don't share it with anyone else. No one, not even the facility's owner, has access to your unit.
So why would you want to rent a self storage room? Maybe you have children off to college, but they aren't ready to take all their possessions with them yet. Or perhaps you are moving to a smaller home and need a secure place to keep items you know you'll need sometime in the future. Maybe your garage is overflowing, and you want some extra room during the winter to store lawn furniture and garden equipment. There are hundreds of reasons why renting self-storage units is a smart move.
