If you’ve realized that you have too much stuff to conveniently fit in your home, you’re not alone. Over the years, Canadians have been collecting more and more stuff, making affordable self-storage not only helpful but necessary. As self-storage units are on the rise in the GTA, it’s important that you make the right decision about the company you trust your belongings to. That way, you can ensure your stuff is safe.
There are plenty of reasons why you might need extra storage for your Thornhill bungalow – far more than just owning too much stuff. Experts say those renting additional space are most often motivated by the “4 Ds” – death, downsizing, displacement, and divorce. Adding to this is renewed interest in “green houses” and recycling in Europe and North America. Storage renters may be storing items or materials in units because they are renovating homes to make them more environmentally friendly, and may not have a place for them in newly renovated homes.
However, some features should be considered before you put any of your valuable belongings in a Thornhill storage unit. Security and climate control are you top priorities, as these measures will ensure you items are safe from theft, the weather, and any pest that’s could damage your stuff. Many countries, including Canada, have official associations regulating self-storage unit usage and management. This means no one can live in a self-storage unit, or use the space to store remains, combustible materials, weapons, drugs, and foodstuffs. It also requires security measures like video surveillance, personal security codes at doors, and dedicated security personnel to offer in-person visual sweeps.
When looking for the best Thornhil mini storage options to help you through the 4 Ds, look for those that abide by the Self-Storage Association’s rules. They should provide climate and pest controls to keep your belongings clean and unchanged by weather patterns. They should also have a comprehensive security plan that guarantees against theft. Just because you can’t store your belongings in your home doesn’t mean you have open your belongings up to risks, so be discerning when making your choice.
When you take the time to find the best self-storage unit in the city, you’ll reap the benefits of affordable and secure storage. That way, if and when you decide to pull anything out of storage, you can expect your stuff to look as good as the day you stored it away!
This is some great information, and I appreciate your suggestion to find a storage unit that has pest controls. I’m going to be moving into a smaller home, and I have a lot of stuff that needs to go to storage for lack of space. I’ll definitely look into finding a facility that has pest control so my belongings will be safe. Thanks for the great post!
