Using Self Storage for Work Supplies

When most people think of a typical job, they think of an office building. Desks, cubicles, fax machines; these are all stereotypical things that come to mind when you think of a business. What about the people who don’t go to an office every day though? What happens when workers such as landscapers or carpenters get off work every day and have no place to leave their equipment? Unlike someone working in an office building, usually these people’s work ends up going home with them and taking up most if not all of their garage. Gardeners with trucks full of tools can often be seen driving home on the freeway, the bed of their truck overflowing with the equipment they carry with them from job to job.  Renting office space is an option, but can often times be out of the price range for many people. Not only is commercial office space expensive, it is also silly to rent an office if you do all of your work outside and only use it for storage purposes. In areas of high real estate cost such as San Diego self storage can be a big time money saver over expensive commercial office space.

In situations such as these, there is no real need for an office. Chances are in these types of jobs you rely on your mobile phone for all of your business calls, and you go to job sites, they don’t come to you. If this is the case, an office would be a complete waste of money being that you work for yourself and do not have a need for a brick and mortar establishment to impress customers or meet with clients. One drawback of not having an office however, is not having that office space for your work equipment. Storing your equipment can be a pain especially if you don’t have a lot of extra room at home. Leaving it in your work truck could seem like an easy alternative, but leaving the tools you use everyday to make a living outside, unprotected all night is never a good idea. Self storage could be just what you need to make storing your valuable equipment easier than ever. A self storage unit is a fraction of the cost of renting office space and is a secure location.

Renting a self storage unit can give you the space you want and the security you need without the high cost of commercial office space. With a self storage unit you can finally have a place to put your equipment that is out of sight and out of mind, while still knowing it is safely locked in a gated, closely monitored facility.  There is sure to be a storage facility near you, making picking up and dropping off your work tools and equipment a piece of cake. Gates open at 6AM every morning, so you will never have trouble retrieving your work items before your day starts. With easy to access drive up units, you can be in and out with your equipment in 5 minutes, and dropping your equipment off for the night is just as easy. With your own lock and key, you can rest assured knowing your tools of the trade are safe while you enjoy your newly available space in your garage.
