A lifetime of collecting items can leave your home stuffed to the brim with things. From your favorite collection of records to toys that you’d like to give to your grandkids some day, finding a place to store everything can be quite a challenge. When every nook and cranny of your home is full, offsite storage provides a solution for storing the items you treasure.

Factors to Consider When Looking for Offsite Storage

To determine your storage needs, take the time to list all of the items you need to store. Be sure to note any special storage requirements. Items like antique furniture, family heirlooms and photographs should be stored in a climate-controlled environment to help protect their integrity. Items already covered by your insurance policy like a spare television or toolset, may be fine stored in a standard storage facility.

Offsite storage is available in a variety of sizes. From small closets to full-sized garages, you can find an offsite storage solution to fit your specific storage requirements. Be sure to accurately estimate your storage needs, so you don’t end up paying for space you won’t use. Climate controlled offsite storage can cost more than traditional storage units, so carefully evaluate whether you truly need a climate controlled space or if standard storage will suit your needs just fine.

Offsite storage can be a drive-up garage or located in a larger interior building like a converted warehouse or office building. The outdoor storage buildings offer drive-up convenience but are often not climate-controlled. Units located within a large storage facility may offer climate control as a standard feature. Many offsite storage facilities also feature around-the-clock security to give your valuables additional protection.

Look for an offsite storage solution that provides you with access seven days a week and with convenient evening and daytime hours. The offsite storage site should be well-lit, monitored by security 24/7, clean and dry. Some facilities offer free use of carts to aid you in moving materials in and out of your storage space and an insurance protection plan to provide additional peace of mind for your belongings in storage.

When you’ve maximized every inch of space at home, offsite storage provides you additional space to store your belongings. With a little effort, you’ll be able to find an offsite storage facility that fits your storage requirements and budget.
