Moving house involves a lot of coordination, especially where packing and unpacking is involved. Fortunately, self-storage solutions can provide plenty of options to make your move easy. Here are just some of the ways to incorporate self-storage into your move.
Self-storage ahead of your move!
One of the great things about self-storage is that it allows you to stagger your packing and unpacking. If you know you’re going to be busy ahead of your move, why not start packing some of the things you rarely use and put them into storage ready to go be shipped out on your moving day?
So, what to put into self-storage?
Self-storage for documents and valuables
Not sure where you’re going to put all of those documents, pieces of paper, and various fragile trinkets and bits and pieces? Moving these items from place to place can be a pain, especially as often they’re items that you’re often just storing out-of-sight in your home anyway. Self-storage can be a great way to keep all of these rarely used items out of your home and in a controlled environment. That means there’s less to pack and unpack, and less storage space needed for your new home!
Self-storage for home renovations
Are you planning on doing any renovations in your new or current properties? If so, you might want to put some of your items into self-storage so that your property is clear for builders or other workers. It can also help keep valuable items such as carpets, rugs and curtains safe from dust and debris while the renovations are being undertaken.
Self-storage for seasonal items
Seasonal items such as ski gear or beach gear can take up a lot of space, especially since they’re often only used a few times a year. Organise to have these items put into self-storage prior to your move, and you’ll have one less thing to think about—and more room in your garage!
Self-storage for large items or items you don’t have space for
If you own large items such as trailers or boats, self-storage can be a great way of keeping these items out of the way. Additionally, if you’re downsizing or haven’t figured out where to put all of your furniture items yet, self-storage can be a great way of keeping these items safe until you’ve found a place for them.
Self-storage for items you want to sell or donate
If you have furniture or other items that you no longer want or need, but want to sell or donate, self-storage might be a good option for those items in the short-term. This way you can ensure that old tables and chairs, couches and so on are shipped out of your home and into a place where they can be held while you organise their sale or donation.
These are just a few of the scenarios that might necessitate you using self-storage. With self-storage options being so varied, you’ll be able to find self-storage for all sorts of items.
