How to make the Most of your Mini Storage Unit

Are you going through a home renovation project? Are your business premises being painted or refurbished? At times like this you need some additional space to accommodate your valuable possessions or business inventory. Short term mini storage is the least expensive way to tide over such incidents. There are times when you, as a householder, have come across a sale that is irresistible. If a store is going out of business, sometimes you get the best deals at rock bottom prices. When you take all that stuff home, where do you put it? If you have mini storage units on hire, you can easily keep your merchandise there until you need it.  These short term rental units don’t require long term obligations and you can rent month to month. Instead of adding more floor space to your home and business (very costly) to house additional products, inventory or for keeping records, the most convenient and inexpensive alternative would be to rent a short term mini storage unit.

If you have plans to move house or have just been through a nasty divorce, you have some spring cleaning to do. Storage units of many sizes are available at large secure depots that provide custom size units to suit your requirements.

Before renting mini storage, you should organize your personal belongings to decide what you need to keep and what should be discarded. When you are planning your move, make a list of those items that are essential to you to keep over the long term. The rest of the items can be recycled, donated or sold off in a garage sale, if you can organize one on short notice. Throw out outdated, expired and irreparably broken articles. It makes no point renting a space to accommodate things you would never ever use in the future. Pack the rest into neatly labeled boxes or crates. Select those items you need to send for storage and those that can be accommodated in your home space – an attic or basement. If you are storing clothes in your mini storage facility pack them in vacuum packed clothing bags. Those items you can take apart to assemble later should be packed disassembled. By effective space-saving packing, you can make better use of your mini storage space. Unless you are storing valuables, film and clothing that can be damaged by climate changes and humidity you don’t need to spend more money by renting climate controlled mini storage.
