Millions of people and businesses rely on storage units to hold their belongings. If this will be the first unit you are renting, you might have a lot of questions and concerns. Fortunately, there is nothing to concern yourself with as long as you follow a few simple tips.

FIGURE OUT HOW MUCH SPACE YOU NEED
Before you rent a unit, you want to be certain it is the right size for what you need. Therefore, it is beneficial if you take inventory of everything you will be putting in your unit. Determine what size is ideal, and always opt for something larger than what you need if necessary so that you can put more items into the unit in the future.

LOOK INTO BONUS FEATURES THE FACILITY OFFERS
Most storage unit houses offer more than just spaces to put your stuff. Additional amenities are often provided in order to give you peace of mind that your valuables are being taken care of. You should make sure the facility has security cameras set up around the premises. You should also check to see if temperature controls are available so that delicate items do not get damaged.
As long as you know what you are putting into the unit, you should be all set. Plenty of great units are available, call Oakdale Self Storage in Shelton at 203-538-7146.
