Reclaim Your Junk Room With Cincinnati Storage Units

Cincinnati Storage Units Will Help Eliminate Clutter

Has Your Spare Room Become a Junk Closet? Rent A Storage Unit!

You call it the junk room. If your house or apartment has one, don’t feel like the Lone Ranger.  Nearly everybody has one. It’s the catch-all room that starts with one box but ends up collecting all the items you’re sure you’ll just have to use someday, but just don’t happen to need now or in the foreseeable future.

In fact, some of those items might just be of practical use and there is a good reason to hold onto them. The problem is those items are taking up valuable space in a room in your home. And if you really think about it, that room could be put to better use as a living space. After all, when you moved in it is highly unlikely that you visualized that room in its current capacity.  Travel back to the day you were shopping for a new place to live and walked through with the realtor or landlord. Did you really look in that room and say to yourself: that’s where I’m going to pile all my castoffs, standbys, and seasonal items until I can barely open the door?

You can’t turn back the clock but you can find a convenient, secure place to accommodate all those items and it’s as close as your local self storage rental facility.

At a very reasonable cost that’s a lot less than adding another room to your dwelling, you can rent a clean, dry, and secure space to safely store your useful items and thus reclaim a wide open room that beckons you to put it to good use. If you live in Cincinnati, OH or anywhere in the country for that matter local self storage facilities will help.

Storage Unit For Rent

Cincinnati storage units come in a variety of sizes designed to let you choose just the right sized area to store your possessions. The contents of a typical junk room will fit quite nicely into a 5′ x 15′ storage unit, which equates to 75 square feet.

A storage unit of this size can hold the following: sofa, chair, dining table and chairs, mattress and box spring, and other smaller items and boxes. Storage unit facility managers will tell you that the primary thing that deters most customers from using their facility is that people find it difficult to estimate how much storage space they are going to need.

This uncertainty can be dispelled rather easily by simply visiting your local self storage facility. The folks who run these businesses are experienced pros who can discuss with you what you want to store and give you a good idea how much space you’ll need. They’ll also be happy to show you some units first hand so you can actually see the spaces that are available. Many self storage facilities also have web sites which offer guidelines for storage needs.

Perhaps it’s the thought of spring cleaning or a New Years Resolution to get organized that has you thinking about attacking the clutter junking up the space that was once an extra room. Maybe a new addition to the family is on the way and the “extra” room is about to be occupied. Whatever the reason, now that your motivated to put an end to the junk room take my advise and plan a visit to your local self storage facility or their website. Self storage is a surprisingly easy, convenient and affordable option that bears exploring.

Offbeat Rental Report: Self Storage As Ultimate Man Cave

Self Storage Units - The Ultimate "Man Cave"

Self Storage Company Evolves The Man Cave

Every successful concept evolves from a basic form to its ultimate expression. The Model T led to the Ferrari, and the most plush private jet can trace its roots to the Wright brother’s wood and canvas flyer.

According to a January 20th story in the The Daytona Beach News Journal,  Charlotte,  N.C. based Hyde Park Storage Suites has taken two concepts, the man cave and self storage, to new heights simultaneously.

The self storage company offers large units that can be leased and customized. Purchase is also an option. And the customization can only be characterized as over the top.  For starters, the storage units are climate-controlled spaces with electrical hook-ups, and plumbing can be installed. From there, only the imagination and budget of the customer limit what can be developed in the creation of the ultimate personal space. Standard equipment can include a big screen TV and refrigerator, and the driving theme is to ‘have it all’ in your own space. Virtually any creature comfort can be incorporated. Pool tables, poker tables, pinball machines, and video games are not uncommon additions.

In addition to the luxury of designing and customizing a personal man cave, the facility customers also have access to an onsite clubhouse. The clubhouse is in keeping with the luxury culture of the complex and includes maintained restrooms, a furnished lounge with plush couches, large screen TV, a bar, and kitchenette.

One of the major draws of the complex is the camaraderie which develops between the participants. Most of the tribe not only store their motorcycles, classic cars, and even motor homes in their units, they also work on them there. Vehicle restoration is also a favorite hobby. The opportunity to learn from each other and share ideas, concepts, and even tools and resources creates an environment not unlike a fraternity.

Are Self Storage Units the Ultimate Man Cave?

You can visit Hyde Park Storage Suites on Facebook here and see various “degrees of Mancaveology”.

Every man needs a place to hang out, lay back and decompress. Being able to do so in luxury and style and with like minded friends in a place that allows secure storage of adult toys is a concept in evolution that Darwin could only have dreamed of.

Rent Climate Controlled Self Storage to Own Peace of Mind

Climate Controlled Storage Units

Climate controlled self storage facilities are a wise storage rental option for many businesses and individuals. In some regions the onset of winter and steady freezing temperatures reinforces the need for a secure climate controlled storage rental. Yet renting self storage units that offer temperature, humidity and/or climate control provide great benefits year round for a variety of applications.

Temperature controlled storage rentals maintain an environment of particular benefit for a business which deals in perishable goods. Climate controlled facilities and heated self storage units will prevent damage which results from exposure to freezing temperatures and dry air which accompanies low temps. Self Storage rentals in Denver CO, New York City and the Boston, MA area are a good example of facilities in areas where cold temperatures are a concern. Even more temperate climates like Cincinnati OH, Self Storage facilities offer temperature controlled storage space.

On the other end of the thermometer, climate control facilities have air conditioned storage space when beating the heat is required to ensure goods and valuables are protected. Self Storage in San Antonio, Houston, Dallas and other Texas cities are examples where demand for climate controlled storage units is high due to the hot climate.  It is important to note there are some perishable items which are unable to be stored in many public self storage facilities like perishable food items, plants, flammables and explosives. Therefore, it’s always a good idea to check with the prospective climate controlled storage provider to see what items are permitted for self storage.

Indoor Acess Self Storage Unit RentalsElectronics are very vulnerable to changes in temperatures and humidity so renting a climate controlled self storage unit is a great idea for those wishing to protect their investment in virtually anything related to electronics. Though you might not think of a vibrating recliner or a pinball machine as a candidate for climate control storage, these are examples of electronic goods subject to damage from swelling and contracting which changes in temperature and humidity can cause.

Musicians who want reliable protection for their instruments are ideal candidates for the benefits which climate control storage rental can provide. While rock bands tend to think of their equipment as more durable than that of a jazz trio or string quartet, most musical instruments, including electric guitars, are subject to alteration from extremes in temperature and humidity. The steady temperature ranges and controlled humidity of climate controlled storage provide protection from the elements, and give the storage space renter security and priceless peace of mind.

Controlled temperatures and humidity are also of great interest to those who store wine. In fact, many self storage facilities now offer wine cellar rental space in various sizes to serve those who lack the room or capital to invest in a wine cellar in their home or business.

Climate Controlled Storage Protects Important DocumentsClimate controlled self storage units are a wise choice to protect and preserve valuable paper products and documents. Humidity is a prime cause of yellowing and warping of paper. Paper and paper products are also known to harbor mold if stored in a facility subject to humidity.

Proper storage space is playing an increasingly crucial role in the ability of business to meet document retention requirements. For this reason climate controlled storage facilities are being utilized as an affordable option to address this often legally required practice. Finding rental self storage for your important documents has become simple at Rent It Today.

A good rule of thumb when determining whether climate-controlled storage or a common drive up access self storage unit can benefit you is to simply ask: would I feel secure in storing these items in my garage in this climate? If the answer raises doubt or is a resounding no, then a rental climate control self storage facility will benefit you.

Kids, This Christmas Meet Your Match: Self Storage

Self Storage Unit Rentals become Santas Closets

Where do you hide your Christmas Presents from the Kids?

The recent stories about Black Friday shopping, Small Business Saturday and Cyber Monday are  reminders that the holiday gift buying season is officially in full swing. Visions of folks coming home with a car full of presents or the delivery truck pulling up to the curb to drop off the internet purchases made this writer wax nostalgic about my younger days when every year my three brothers and I engaged in a yearly Yuletide game of hide and seek with our parents.

Every year my parents would hide the holiday gift purchases in a spot they thought was secure, and every year we would find the stash spot. Of course, my kids have inherited this trait and every year they seem to find the spot we have determined just couldn’t be discovered.

Self Storage Unit Rentals Make Great ‘Santa Closets’

Self Storage Space For Rent

Self Storage Units Are Great 'Santa Closets'

Sadly for my gene pool, this fall I drove past a self storage business and had a brainstorm. As I looked upon the neatly organized rows of securely locked storage cubicles I suddenly realized I was looking at the solution to the annual find the gift hiding spot contest. Why not rent a self storage space?

Then I ran the idea past a couple of my friends and was hailed as a genius. It seems I don’t have a patent on this annual game as they too lamented their inability to find a gift hiding spot that couldn’t be discovered in their homes.  A couple of buddies suggested we pool our resources and form a gift hiding conglomerate at a local self storage location.

So now I wonder if I am being cruel as the poor kids will ransack the house once again this year only to come up empty handed.  Will they think they’re being skunked? That mom and dad are bust? Then I fast forward to the morning when they finally see their gifts which have been safely stored off site  and all is well. The fact that the scene will be repeated at my co-conspirators homes just adds to my mirth.

The best thing about the whole experience so far is that I have a bit of extra space in that storage rental unit so I have permanently relocated a few of my personal belongings there for safe keeping and to free up a little room around the castle. Everybody is happy. Except the kids, for now.
