3 Items Made For Self Storage

Once in while we think of the perfect items that go hand in hand with our Self Storage units. At North Shore Mini Storage, we have put together the top three items that are perfect for self storage. Take a look below.

3 Perfect Self Storage Items

Tires

That’s right, tires are one of three items. If you think about it, no one wants dirty old tires hanging around their homes. You may think that storing tires at the dealership is the perfect option, but do you really want the added pressure that comes along with trying to retrieve those tires? By pressure we mean the sales pressure that the dealership puts on you to let them install you Summer/Winter tires. Not at Stop and Store, we don’t do tires installs, just grab them and go to your choice of tire installer.

Antiques

The beauty of antiques is that they are irreplaceable and contain lots of history. But the downfall of antiques is that they don’t always fit in with the decor of your home. So if you have an item you cant throw away, and one that can’t stay inside your home, what do you do? You’ve already guessed it, self storage. The best item for self storage is next.

Childhood Memories

Now, it may sound mean, but do you honestly want all your child’s memories from their younger days taking up space? No. In fact, the only reason you keep it is because they may want it later in life. If they have conveniently moved out already without taking these things, and you don’t want to take up space in your home or toss them, you guessed it again, self storage. Make everyone happy.

That’s all for the top 3 items for self storage. We at North Shore Mini Storage would love to get your take on the best times, leave a comment below and be sure to reserve a space for it!

This is inexpensive storage that operates 100% as advertised - they do not offer 24/7 access and do not charge 24/7 access pricing. They are incredibly responsive to requests to unlock doors and provide access. It is not fancy but if you need a clean, dry place to store your stuff, you can't beat these guys. Don't expect bells and/or whistles but you also won't be paying for them.

Have to phone to have buildings unlocked. Annoying.

Prices are 1/2 the price of other storage units but it shuts down (locked gates) from 10 am - 6 pm except if you have the enormous ground level outside facing units. Those hours are impossible. The technology getting items up to the second story is an actual forklift thats made stationary. You balance your items up the forklift (and you raise the wooden pallet up yourself) Then you must walk up stairs and hope their is a dolly available to wind precariously around tiny turning hallways. Budget carpentry and ancient carpet in the units. The trolleys sound and feel like their from 1980's and are either coached to disobey or they keep their own counsel. They say its secure but I had a neighbor pick something up and they weren't even asked for permission. I explicitly stated only I was to have access. They said they do not let it happen. The locks are your own, but the flip closure is attached by 3/4 wood screws easily and possibly quite quietly could be opened and emptied with no one batting an eye. A kid could detach it with anything. They have "24 hour security" which means a guy lives on site. Does he/she have CCTV access? Probably not, nor would you want that job. Are there motion sensors? Not likely as sometimes the lights won't turn on and finding a switch in the straggly wandering corridors is impossible. They do not offer insurance. You have to sign forms saying all the things you will and won't do, but they are not liable if anything happens: theft, fire, water, vandals, pests etcSo despite all those complaints, its still 4/5 only because of the prices.
