What Type of Self Storage Unit Do You Need?

Each type of self storage offers a unique set of benefits. Choose between indoor and outdoor storage units at ValuSpace Personal Storage, and learn how each of these amenities protect your belongings.

Drive-Up Storage Units

Think of a drive-up storage unit as an extension of your garage. These units offer the convenience of pulling your vehicle right up to the door for easy loading and unloading, making it quick to access your belongings whenever you need. This type of storage is ideal for large, bulky items or frequent visits since it minimizes the effort required to move items in and out.

Temperature-Controlled Storage Units

In regions like New York, where summer heat and winter cold can be intense, temperature-controlled units offer protection from these extreme conditions. These units maintain a stable temperature year-round, ensuring your sensitive belongings, such as wooden furniture, electronics, and artwork, remain safe from damage like cracking, warping, or splitting due to temperature fluctuations.

Climate-Controlled Storage Units

Climate-controlled storage offers even more comprehensive protection by regulating both temperature and humidity. In addition to guarding against temperature extremes, these units help keep moisture levels in check, preventing issues like mold, mildew, and warping. This option is perfect for items like documents, antiques, and fabrics that are particularly vulnerable to changes in both heat and humidity.

Do You Need Vehicle Storage?

If you own an extra vehicle for work, leisure, or seasonal use, do you have enough space to store it? Vehicle storage offers a practical solution, freeing up your driveway or garage. Whether it’s a car, boat, or RV, storing it in a secure facility helps maintain its condition for it to be ready to go when you need it.

Pro Tip: For the best protection, cover your vehicle before leaving it in storage.

Car Storage

Harsh weather conditions, especially in places like New York, can wreak havoc on a vehicle’s exterior, from rust to paint damage. Car storage with a trusted self storage facility provides a secure space to keep your vehicle when it’s not in use. This option allows you to preserve your car’s condition while avoiding the clutter of keeping it in your driveway or garage.

Boat Storage

Owning a boat is all about making memories on the water, but when it comes time to find a place to store it on land, rely on the experts for the best care. Boat storage takes that worry off your hands, offering year-round or just during the off-season. Keep your boat protected and ready for your next adventure.

RV Storage

Recreational vehicles are great for road trips, but their large size can overwhelm your driveway or yard when they sit idle. RV storage provides a secure, spacious environment for your vehicle to allow you to free up room at home.

Proper storage can extend the life of your RV and help you keep your investment in top shape for years to come.

When Does Self Storage Come in Handy?

Self storage is a versatile solution for anyone looking to free up space, stay organized, or transition through life’s changes. Here are a few common scenarios when self storage can help ease the weight off your shoulders.

Student Storage

For students, frequent moves can become a routine part of life. Whether you’re heading home for the summer, studying abroad for a semester, or starting an internship in a new city, managing your belongings can become a challenge.

Self storage provides an affordable, flexible option for students, with storage units of various sizes, so you can find the perfect fit for your unique set of needs. With your belongings secure, you can focus on your studies and new opportunities without the burden of extra baggage.

Military Storage

Military life is full of constant changes, including relocations and deployments that often happen with little notice. Military storage units provide a convenient, secure option for service members and their families to store personal belongings during temporary duty assignments or permanent change of station (PCS).

By offering flexible lease options and multiple unit sizes, ValuSpace Personal Storage ensures you can make a smooth transition into your next mission.

Business Storage

Businesses often need extra space to store inventory, equipment, documents, or seasonal items. Whether you’re a small business needing to free up office space or a contractor looking to store tools, business storage can be an affordable and secure solution.

With access to climate-controlled units and month-by-month leasing options, business owners can manage their operations more efficiently while ensuring their assets are protected.
