Portable storage, a review of the topic
Do you need a climate controlled self storage unit? Temperature sensitive items like art, antiques, paper, and certain kinds of plastic require climate control, and should be stored in a unit prepared to handle their needs. Glass, stone, and other sturdy materials can handle temperature fluctuations and do not need climate control. If you have a few temperature sensitive items to store, then unless you have a lot of belongings to store and are willing to rent two units, a climate controlled unit and a non controlled unit, you should rent a climate controlled unit for all your belongings. Do you want to take your belongings to the self storage unit yourself, or do you want the storage company to pick them up? Some companies will deliver moving storage containers, or pods, to your home. When you have filled the container, you call or email the company, and a truck comes to take the container to the storage facility.
