Making The Choice Between Self Storage And Portable Storage: Part 2

Your guide to the fun and exciting world of storage!  

So, you’ve made the decision to become a storage person. Awesome! This is a momentous moment in your life and one that should be celebrated.  

There are few moments in life as exciting as this, so let’s start off by just saying CONGRATULATIONS! You understand that storage solutions are a safe and convenient way to store your belongings during a transition in life, or when you simply require extra space. By making this choice you have demonstrated how smart, thoughtful, and good looking you truly are.  

But there are still choices to be made. You need to decide what type of storage you want, and we are here to guide you through this crucial decision.

Innie or outie?

Your choice is going to come down to what you need out of the storage solution. You have two basic choices. We’ll break them down for you here.  

Are you a portable person or more into self-storage? That’s the question. Are you an innie (the home) or an outie?

Let’s talk about portable storage containers!  

Imagine for a moment that you have all the convenience of self-storage, but right at our doorstep! That’s portable storage.  

With portable storage you have large, mobile units that are brought to your home where you fill them with your belongings. Once you have filled the container, the company providing the container will transport it to your new home or to a secure storage facility for safekeeping.

Amazing, right?

Portable storage containers are excellent for a DIY moving and storage solution as well as for temporary renovation disruptions. They allow you to pack at your own pace and, by virtue of them being literally on your property, you have access to them at any time of day.  

The one thing to consider is space though. They’re pretty big and your neighbors may not appreciate the sleek beauty of them as much as you do. For some, self-storage is the answer.

Road trip to the storage unit!

Who doesn’t like a road trip? And with our listings of more than 300 locations across Canada, you will have plenty of options to pick from if you choose the self-storage option.  

With convenient hours – many 24/7 -- self-storage units are safe and effective.

Many self-storage units are climate controlled, so you don’t have to worry about your golf clubs freezing during those long winter nights.  

Whatever your choice you can’t go wrong. Now that you’ve joined the storage revolution, you’ll never understand how you lived without it before!
