Hey Money Makers! Brandon Robinson here, National Director at Calvary Realty. Today, we\u2019re diving into a topic that every self-storage owner, manager, and renter should know: the most common items stored in Self-Storage units. Whether you\u2019re using storage for personal or business reasons, there\u2019s a good chance that the items you\u2019re storing fall into one of these categories. Let\u2019s count down from 10 to the #1 most commonly stored item in Self-Storage units across the country!<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n 10 \u2013 Exercise Equipment<\/b><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n Starting at number ten, we have exercise equipment. With home gyms on the rise, many people find they need extra space for treadmills, weights, and other fitness equipment. Storing these items in a Self-Storage unit can free up space at home and keep everything organized.<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n 9 \u2013 Clothing and Fashion<\/b><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n At number nine, we have clothing. Some people need extra room for their clothing collections. Whether it\u2019s seasonal wardrobes or high-end fashion items, Self-Storage units provide a secure space for storing clothing without it taking up closet space at home. This is also common for people who travel frequently and need a place to store clothing and accessories.<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n 8 \u2013 Antiques and Family Heirlooms<\/b><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n Coming in at number eight, antiques and family heirlooms are commonly stored in units. For those with valuable or sentimental items, a Self-Storage unit is a great place to store antiques, children\u2019s toys, and family heirlooms. People often store these precious items when they\u2019re moving or don\u2019t have the right conditions to keep them safely at home.<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n 7 \u2013 Important Documents<\/b><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n At number seven, we have important documents. If you\u2019re looking to keep your paperwork safe, Self-Storage is a great option. Tax records, contracts, or legal documents can easily be organized and kept secure in a storage unit. Many people prefer storing them off-site for added security and to free up space at home.<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n 6 \u2013 Appliances<\/b><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n Number six on our list is appliances. People store fridges, stoves, washers, dryers, and other bulky items in Self-Storage. Whether it\u2019s because someone\u2019s moving or they just don\u2019t have the space to keep extra items, storing these bulky items in a Self-Storage unit makes life a lot easier.<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n 5 \u2013 Vehicles and Recreational Gear<\/b><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n Halfway through our list at number five, we have vehicles. Many people store cars, motorcycles, boats, or RVs when they don\u2019t have space in their garages or driveways. Recreational gear like ATVs or snowmobiles is often stored in Self-Storage as well. For vehicle owners, renting a unit can provide peace of mind and secure storage for their prized possessions.<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n 4 \u2013 Business Inventory and Equipment<\/b><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n At number four, businesses take advantage of Self-Storage for extra inventory, office supplies, equipment, or even furniture. A Self-Storage unit provides an affordable way to store items that are important but not needed all the time. It\u2019s a great option for growing companies that don\u2019t yet have the space to accommodate everything in their office.<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n 3 \u2013 Boxes and Personal Belongings<\/b><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n At number three, we have boxes and personal belongings. If you\u2019ve ever moved, you know how many boxes you accumulate! Books, clothes, and photo albums are often stored in Self-Storage units. It\u2019s a simple way to keep clutter out of the house while maintaining easy access to items you don\u2019t use every day.<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n 2 \u2013 Seasonal Items<\/b><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n Runner-up at number two is seasonal items. Think holiday decorations, winter clothing, camping gear, or sports equipment. These items are typically used only part of the year, but they can take up valuable space in your home. Storage units help people rotate and store these items until they\u2019re needed again.<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n 1 \u2013 Furniture<\/b><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n And finally, the most commonly stored item in Self-Storage units furniture! Couches, tables, chairs, and even bed frames are stored when people move, remodel, or downsize. These items take up space at home, and a Self-Storage unit provides the extra room people need to store them safely.<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n So, there you have it! From furniture and seasonal items to business inventory and vehicles, Self-Storage units are used to store just about everything.
