Long-term household storage

Which is right for me: long-term or short-term storage? This is a common question many people ask when looking for household storage services. Your choice has a subtle impact on other factors, like how to pack your things, etc. So, it’s important to understand the difference between short-term and long-term storage units.

Short Term Storage Units

The short term can be anything from a month to around 3–4 months. Most people use this option when renovating their space or moving houses. It’s even used when you’ve got guests to stay with you for some time.

Other reasons why people look for a short-term storage option include:

For short-term storage, you don’t need dust covers to pack your things. A bedsheet or cloth can provide reasonable protection for your household items.

Long Term Storage Units

People generally need long-term storage units for more than four months. Here are some circumstances when people need long-term storage:

When using long-term storage, you need to use plastic covers to keep your possessions dry and clean. You also need to ensure that your items don’t develop mould or mildew.

Household storage unit sizes

What can storage units hold? The answer depends on the household storage unit size you choose. Big Storage units come in different sizes to accommodate differently sized items.

Key sizes include the following:

4.5sqm

This small-sized storage unit is ideal for storing items like washing machines, fridges, televisions, suitcases, etc.
