When storing your items, there are many types of storage available – warehouses, shipping containers, mobile storage containers, back yard sheds, space at a mate’s house etc. Self Storage can provide many advantages over these options, so let’s talk about how it can be a benefit to you?

‍

1.  Ability to access items

If storing items in a warehouse, or with some removalist companies, your goods are locked away until they are then moved into your new home. Should plans change or be delayed, this may cause some difficulties; and if you need an item from storage you may require notice periods or be charged additional fees.

Self Storage Units allow customers access to their goods as and when they need them.

2.  Open 24/7

Many of the larger Self Storage Facilities offer round the clock access to your storage unit.

With pin coded access at Eagle Eye Self Storage, there is no need to wait for staff to unlock the facility, or to work your schedule around the requirements of others.

3.  Security of Goods

When goods are stored in a warehouse, at a friends place or in a shipping container, there are often times when others will have access to your items.

Self Storage units require customers to provide their own padlock to the unit. This means that only you, or whoever you allow, are able to access your items.
At Self Storage facilities, such as Eagle Eye Self Storage, security cameras and unit alarms also provide an additional level of reassurance.

4.  Varying Length of Storage

What happens when your friend or family member decides to move house? It means that you get to move too, and for most of us that can be a stressful or difficult time.

Many Self Storage facilities offer storage for as long as you want, whether that is weeks, months or years. At Eagle Eye Self Storage, we have a minimum of 1 month payment (although you can remove your goods at anytime), and ask for just 1 weeks notice to move out.

5.  Pest Control, Weather and Fire Protection

Some storage options, such as a mobile storage container, shipping containers in a paddock, the back of a warehouse or a backyard shed provide little in the way of long term protection of your goods.

Eagle Eye Self Storage offers advantages such as provision of regular preventative maintenance and pest control. Additionally features such as water control, fire protection services and sealed driveways help ensure that your goods are maintained in the condition they were stored in.

The biggest advantage of a Self Storage environment is that it often allows the Storer more control over their goods and the access to them; and if you’re like me that’s a pretty big bonus.

Life is difficult enough without added restrictions and limitations that often come with other storage options.

The team at Eagle Eye Self Storage are available to answer your questions and assist in ensuring there is a solution right for you.
