Garden Furniture

A storage facility can be perfect for seasonal storage. This list will include several examples of how you can use self storage during certain times of the year but this point is one of the most common and effective uses we have seen for storage.

This helps keep the furniture protected from the harsh British weather and saves you having to replace it the following summer. This will save you having to invest in covers for your garden furniture which aren’t always effective anyway. Storage facilities can be a great place to store garden tables, chairs, toys and benches. For those without a large shed, this is the perfect solution for keeping your things safe and dry.

Home Move

House moves are undoubtedly the most common use for a storage facility. Many people take advantage of the low price and convenience of self storage when planning a house move.

In addition to this businesses can also take advantage of storage when moving offices or renovating an existing business premises to store office furniture and equipment.

Student Storage

Student storage is becoming increasingly popular throughout the UK. International students travel to the UK to study and this usually only applies for two out of three terms in the academic year. This means many students return back home for the summer term meaning they have to give up their student accommodation or continue paying for it while they live elsewhere. Student storage allows students to keep hold of their belongings over the summer whilst being able to take a break on expensive student rent prices for the summer.

Home Renovations

Self storage can help majorly with any home renovation projects.
