Land costs and construction costs have risen through the years. Family homes and even commercial spaces and offices have become smaller and smaller. Existing structures are rarely being expanded. Home storage space and commercial storage space has, therefore, become quite a problem. As families and businesses grow, they need additional storage space for new acquisitions.

Secure residential and commercial public self storage services and facilities can be found in special storage buildings. Individual storage units or storage containers are provided for renters. You can get storage rental for mini storage much like the public lockers in train stations but you can also rent storage spaces of various sizes. The more popular storage unit sizes are the 10 feet by 5 feet closet size, the 10 feet square size, the 10 feet by 20 feet one car garage size, the 15 feet by 20 feet size, and the 20 feet square two car garage size. These can be used for any legal storage including motorcycle, jet-ski, boat and RV storage.

A public self storage unit is usually like a windowless box with a roll up metal door. Only the renter should have access to the rented storage unit. Even the facility’s management should not be able to enter it without the renter’s authorization. Reputable residential and commercial public self storage facilities use computer-controlled electronic gates for the units, accessed through key cards, proximity cards or biometric means like fingerprint or hand scans. They also have surveillance cameras and alarms in addition to round the clock security guards.

Aside from having improved security features, today’s public self storage services and facilities have had other changes as compared to the early models.

In contrast, most urban public self storage facilities today are found in tall buildings equipped with climate control, elevators, freight lifts and loading docks. Some facilities even provide complimentary rolling carts and moving dollies for their clients.

Self Storage: The Basics of Commercial and Residential Storage Services

February 23, 2010 · Filed Under Moving & Relocating · Comments Off 

Self storage is actually a shortcut for the phrase “self-service storage.” Some companies also call it “mini storage” or “mini warehouse.” The idea is that, a person or persons are given storage space for rent (like an apartment) and they basically have full control over the space. They can store almost anything in these leased storage facilities including boxes of household goods, supplies for a small business, excess inventory, and whatever else they might need to keep secure. The storage units are watched over by the operator, and both he and the client have the only access to the unit. Self storage facility operators usually provide computer-controlled access to rental space areas and many often use security cameras for surveillance. However, the storage has in no way the authority to control, possess, or move the goods inside the unit unless it is requested by law.

There are now over 50,000 storage facilities in the US that provide storage solutions for personal and commercial purposes. Public self storage areas have also started increasing in number in urban and residential areas because of the greater demand on secure storage. Since apartments and small houses have limited space for people’s things and so, over the years, a good portion of residential areas have been converted into self storage facilities. Read more
