Why leasing a storage unit or box is a practical solution?
There are all sorts of different life circumstances that can challenge us in terms of storage space. Therefore, if you are on the lookout for a space where you can store furniture, home-, leisure- or office equipment, electrical appliances, bigger items such as boats, motorbikes or cars, you are now on the right page:
When the lack of storage room becomes a challenge, the ideal solution may be leasing an in- or outdoor storage unit.
Among the many advantages of renting a storage unit, we would like to highlight at least some:
- Different unit sizes, just according to your needs;
- You can store practically any type of items in there;
- Most storage units are accessible 24/7;
- CCTV monitoring service and connection to a central alarm network.
How to maximize the available storage space?
Some of the storage and packing supplies will for sure help you better organize your unit. If you store everything in a practical manner, this will help you to not only save space, but also money on your monthly rent. Usually a well thought-through and orderly storage strategy is all you need in order to maximize the use of a smaller unit.
When looking for a self storage facility, make sure they offer additional packing and storage supplies.
Double cardboard boxes:
Our double cardboard boxes, usually available in 3 different sizes, will allow you to store your belongings in an orderly manner and thus to facilitate your future access to everything.
Very resistant and easy to fold, our boxes are available in different sizes and thus ideal for keeping items of different sizes. They are meant for keeping books, paperwork, sales products, toys, clothes, office equipment and many other things.
Thanks to the double-layered and resistant cardboard material, you can even store heavier objects in them. As long as you don’t overload them, all is safe and protected against damage.
Wardrobe boxes:
If your closet runs out of storage capacity, we can help you out with our wardrobe boxes which allow you to very orderly keep and store your ironed shirts, suits, jackets and pullovers among others.
Shelves:
Another way of efficiently organizing your unit is to use our metal shelves. Aside from being resistant and practical, they will help you make better use of the available unit height.
By using shelves, you can better profit from the height of your storage unit and structure your space in a significantly more orderly and space-saving manner.
Bubble wrap plastic sheet:
In order to conveniently accommodate all your belongings, especially the more fragile items, such as glass, tiles, kitchenware and porcelain, we recommend you to use bubble wrap plastic that will cushion and hence protect your things from breaking.
Bubble wrap is actually very popular when it comes to packing and protecting artwork from humidity.
Cardboard sheet:
Using a cardboard sheet is another very helpful way of protecting your stored items. Resistant and easy to fold, it can serve to separate fragile items and protect them from breaking. The cardboard sheet is very popular when it comes to storing wine bottles or other alcoholic drinks, since, besides preventing the glass from breaking, it also preserves the quality of the bottles’ contents.
And last but not least, before storing your boxes in the hidden corners of your storage unit, finish and seal your packing job with a strong adhesive tape.
