We are a modern nation that loves space and more importantly security. This has led to self-storage and container storage becoming valuable additions to our lives. But despite this, a large amount of people don’t really understand what storage is and how it can help improve their lives. Which begs the question, what is the difference between self-storage and container storage?
Outside storage units
Outside storage units, such as shipping containers in a yard – are notoriously unreliable. They have a multitude of problems associated with them such as condensation, lax security systems and problems in adverse weather conditions. You are only really able to fill them to about 75% of their capacity if you want to ensure that your possessions don’t get ruined if you open the doors on a rainy day. They usually only come in two large sizes, meaning that they are far worse value for money than indoor self storage rooms.
Inside storage units
Inside storage units are far superior to outdoor ones. Indoor units are well lit, have a reliable security system and are a safe dry option to store your
belongings. With a wide variety of sizes available, you should always be able find a room at MyStore Self Storage that’s suitable for your needs.
Outdoor units can of course be a viable option if they have the correct facilities. If you want to store your classic car to restore it to its former glory, an outside unit is ideal. You just need to make sure that all the security systems are up-to-date, that your unit is within an enclosed area with a high fence and there is a PIN code security system in place.
