            Drive-Up Climate-Controlled Units, a New Trend in Self-Storage

            Self-storage in Metairie, LA, has been around for a long time, but there is an emerging trend in self-storage that might be a little more difficult to come by. Climate-controlled drive-up storage units are considered the best option for self-storage because of the numerous advantages they have over other types of units. Here are some reasons you shouldn’t settle for anything less than drive-up External link opens in new tab or windowself-storage rental in Metairie, LA.


            Climate Controlled Drive-Up units at Affordable Self Storage Fewer Equipment Requirements

            A downside of many storage facilities is the difficulty of moving your items around. This is because indoor units are typically multistory facilities that make it hard to move large items alone. That means you’ll need additional equipment, such as dollies, carts, wagons, or other things, to help you move multiple items at once or to move especially heavy belongings. A drive-up unit allows you to move things directly into or out of your car without extra equipment. This is especially helpful when you’re in a hurry to get to your unit and don’t have time to stop for a dolly or other moving aid.


            Accessibility

            Drive-up units don’t require the use of stairs or elevators like most indoor units do. This is important even if you don’t currently have mobility limitations because you’ll be able to conserve a lot more energy if you don’t have to take as many stairs or walk down long hallways to move your belongings. You’ll have lower risk of muscle strain or fatigue when you can easily access your stored things and move them right to your vehicle.


            Time Savings

            Along with saving your strength, a drive-up unit will save you a lot of time. Loading up moving equipment, walking up and down stairs, waiting for the elevator, and loading your belongings onto dollies all takes up additional time. You’ll be amazed at how quickly you’re able to put things in or out of storage when you can simply drive up to your unit, do what you need to, and drive away.


            Size Options

            Another benefit of drive-up self-storage is that you have numerous size options to choose from. You can get a small unit that’s 7 ½-by-10-feet if you just have small items or a few large items to store, or you can choose a larger 10-by-20-feet unit for storing larger items. There are also in-between sizes to choose from, so you’re sure to find something you need. Usually with climate-controlled options, you only have one or two sizes to choose from, and there usually aren’t larger units, which leads to the next benefit.


            Couple putting items in self storage Storing Outdoor Items

            Sometimes you need to store larger outdoor belongings in a climate-controlled unit. Unfortunately, most climate-controlled units are indoors, making it difficult to find such a storage place. But with a drive-up, climate-controlled unit you can store outdoor items, such as lawnmowers, snowblowers, or lawn furniture that you want to keep protected from extreme temperatures.


            Having It All

However, the best storage companies do offer both so you really can have it all when it comes to self-storage.
