Rent Extra Closet Storage Space

Got a lot of stuff and no place to put it? Is the trunk of your car primarily used as your own personal mini storage , packed to the rim with unused text books, your old CD collection, bags of crumpled clothing and an open box of miscellaneous junk that you have no idea what to do with? Well, while the trunk of your car may be a temporary solution and it seems to be serving your needs, all it takes is one flat tire on a hot Monday afternoon to send you digging deep down into that mess in search of your spare tire and jack, pulling everything out on the side of the highway in order to find what you need.

Such a scenario would not only be frustrating to deal with, but unsafe for you and other motorists on the road. So, why not invest a few dollars each month to rent a small personal mini storage area that will not only house all of the miscellaneous items that you do not often use, but will also have the benefit of allowing you access to the trunk of your car once more.

It used to be that if you wanted to rent personal mini storage , there was a one size fits all approach. Even if you did not have enough to fill the standard 5 x 10 sized unit, you still had to pay for it each month. Times have changed, and with them, so have the sizes of personal mini storage that are now available.

While it it true that some of these units are as large as a two car garage, most individuals do not need that much space. This size is ideal for storing the contents of a four bedroom house, not the miscellaneous furniture and items that one might find in a dorm room, or the trunk of a car.  As the sizes of the units get smaller, so does the monthly fee that one will pay to rent it.

One of the smallest units available is the 25 square foot unit. It is roughly the size of a hall closet. Think of how much stuff we tend to cram into our closets. Basket and bins full of clothes, shoe boxes filled with old bank statements, and whatever else that we can squeeze in there, and that does not even take into consideration the amount of toys that our children can house in their own closets. Knowing how much one can shove into a 5×5 foot closet, imagine how beneficial having an extra closet, off site so as not to clutter your home or apartment, would be.

There are now personal mini storage companies in just about every neighborhood. Chances are high that there is one within a three mile radius of where you happen to be right now, if you live in the city. Spending a few dollars each month to insure that you have space to store the items that you do not want to look at but have no room to shove up under the bed is an investment in your sanity, if nothing else. Because every time that you open your closet and at least two hats fall down on your head, it begins to make one a bit flustered. Save the mess for your new off site closet. This keeps your wardrobe looking newer, with plenty or growing room on the rack when off season clothing is neatly packed away.

In addition, having one of these personal mini storage areas available at any time is a wonderful idea when the holidays come around. The kids will never be able to find your stash of presents if it is not even in the house. You do know that they always look, right? Well, this year they can actually be surprised by what they get. In fact, you can be buying gifts and stashing them quietly away all year long, which will help you avoid Christmas burnout towards the end of the year.

Call around today and see what kind of spaces and rates are available in your neck of the woods. You might be surprised.
