The compact self storage unit and 4 reasons why you may need to use one

Most often when we think about self storage units we visualise large cavernous spaces that can house large boats and caravans. But, did you know that you can also hire the use of compact storage units and containers? You don’t always have to think big. Below we explore four reasons to use a compact self storage space.

1. When you’re between university halls of residence

One of the biggest uses of small self storage units is for storing items that you’ll need when living in halls of residence. You’ll have some belongings, such as books, bedding and clothing that won’t take up too much room, but need somewhere to be stored between moves. A short term small self storage unit is cheap and ideal for this purpose.

2. At the beginning of a hobby

If you plan to start a new hobby that requires a lot of equipment and you don’t have enough room at home to store these items, then a compact self storage unit can help you. Perhaps you want to start quilting and need somewhere to store your swathes of materials. Or you may be wanting to collect small antiques and simply need a place to keep them safe.

3. When you plan to have another baby

As we all know, when you have a baby you accumulate a lot of stuff, such as baby clothes, a moses basket, a cot and feeding equipment. If you plan to have another baby then you’ll want to keep these items to use second time round. A small self storage unit is a perfect solution.

4. When you plan to go travelling

Finally, a small self storage space on a long term hire basis can be used to store items safely for when you plan to go travelling. If you only have a few boxes to store, then this is a cheap option that will also give you peace of mind while you’re away from home.
