As humans we strive to become better every day, and with every generation. Therefore, we have invented this thing called a self-storage unit or storage concept. Not only has the invention of storage made life much more convenient, but it has also allowed us to adapt to certain life changing events such as downsizing homes, moving, or relocating work premises with ease. However, there are still people in the world who do not know about the amazing benefits that a self-storage unit has to offer.

What are the benefits?

Firstly, it offers us a way to declutter our homes, without having to get rid of sentimental or expensive items. Several studies have shown how living a more minimalist lifestyle at home has physical and mental health benefits. By living more organised and less cluttered, your brain feels less stressed and overwhelmed. This became particularly evident when people had to start working from home and they realised how difficult and impractical it was to be functional in a cluttered space. Our lives are already so busy with all the disruptions the manic world we live in, our homes should be the one place where we are able to unwind, relax and get away from all the hustle and bustle. Therefore, decluttering your home is vital as it makes it easier to keep your space more organised and cleaner. A decluttered space also saves you a lot of time on cleaning and finding items you need.

Secondly, storage units offer a place for you to store your personal belongings like your furniture, files, and much more if you must move to a smaller office space or home. With the recent pandemic, many people’s lives were turned upside down. Storage units provide you with a solution when unpredictable things occur in your life. For example, if you had to move your business from an office space to your home, you might need space to store all the office furniture and supplies and a storage unit will be your best option! Others may have had to downsize their homes and instead of getting rid of the belongings they do not have space for, they can store it instead! Storage units provide us with a temporary solution until our lives get back on track.

Thirdly, a self-storage unit is extremely safe. South Africa’s primary crime is home break ins. Therefore, storing your valuable items in a self-storage unit will keep your precious belongings safe. A storage facility like ours offers CCTV monitored security, 24 hour-controlled park, fire detection, alarms, and armed response. Making it highly unlikely that someone will be able to steal your valuable items. In addition, you are the only person that has granted access to your private unit, no one else can access your private belongings but you!

Lastly, moving is never easy. Sometimes you need to sell your home and wait a few months before you can move into your new house. Renting a self-storage unit will be the best solution for keeping your personal belongings safe until you can move into your new house. Therefore, while you wait for your new house you would not have to rent a large house so that you can keep all your stuff somewhere but a small house where you are only keeping your most important items. Saving you a lot of stress and money.
