Question
There’s no right or wrong answer here, but a few things to consider include:
- Are you able to easily place a container on your property?
- Have you thought about the delivery cost of having a container come to you? It could be a journey of an hour or more by truck, so this cost needs to be factored in.
- How would a container look at your property (and how will your neighbours feel about it)?
- How far do you live from your nearest self storage depot? If it’s only a short drive, self storage might be appealing.
- Does your local self storage depot have the exact size storage unit you need? If not, at-home storage may be better.
- How important is 24/7 access? Some of our depots offer this – but not all, so please check.
The big advantage of self storage is that it’s all taken care of by someone else – us! There’s no delivery fee, no curious neighbours, and no long-term tie-ins.
However, if your nearest depot is two hours away, renting a container at your home might be a better solution. Check out our locations to see what works for you.
