Reasons why a small storage unit might be right for you

If you need additional space to store your items but you don’t have space in your home and your friends have already declined to allow you to use their homes, a storage unit may be your next best option. Storage units come in various sizes depending on what you need to store.

Usually, they come in small, medium, large, and extra-large sizes. The small storage unit will let you store a few boxes and maybe an appliance whereas an extra-large unit can store upwards a 5-6 bedroom home.

The benefits of a storage unit

Regardless of what size unit you need, there are many benefits to renting a storage unit each month.

• Reduce clutter – no one likes clutter! And let’s face it, your home could probably due with a nice clearing. If you prefer to keep the items you want to clear out of your home a storage unit is a great place for them. All you need to do is rent a unit and buy a few clear containers to place your things in. You may be surprised just how much you end up moving into storage after you get going!
