Many people find themselves thinking that they need long term storage but hesitate to use it due to potential high costs and a lack of flexibility. Their storage needs may evolve, but some long-term storage options have rigid contracts, leaving them paying for unnecessary space. There are self storage facilities that offer long term storage that is both cost effective and flexible. 

Our Mitcham long term storage is one of these self storage facilities. Our self storage is cost effective and we offer complete flexibility. Within this article we will look at what long term storage actually is, why you might need long term storage and why you should choose our Mitcham long term storage. 

What Is Long Term Storage? 

Long term storage is typically defined as the use of any type of storage space for a time period that is anything more than 3 months. Long term storage is often used by businesses storing stock and equipment but it does also have many domestic uses. 

Many people use long term storage in order to store seasonal clothing or whilst they are travelling for an extended period. 

Why You Need Our Mitcham Long Term Storage

Mitcham long term storage will come in handy for many different reasons. Within this section, we will look at some of the reasons why you might need to use Mitcham long term storage. 

Business Storage

Mitcham long term storage is great for business owners in need of storage. If your business has stock, equipment and/or documents that you don’t have room for in your home or workspace, renting one of our storage units will help. 

We will provide you with a safe and secure storage unit that is the right size for your needs. Our storage units in our Mitcham facility range from 10 square feet to 200 square feet so we are certain that we will have a storage unit to suit your needs.

Seasonal Storage

Our Mitcham long term storage will also be excellent for seasonal storage. Seasonal storage is for all those items that you don’t need year round. 

For example, during warmer months (spring/summer), you could consider storing winter apparel, winter sports gear, and heavy bedding like quilts and blankets. And then in the cooler months (autumn/winter), you could consider storage items such as summer clothing, summer sports equipment, camping supplies, outdoor furniture, and gardening tools and equipment. 

Storing these items in our Mitcham long term storage will help to prevent your home from getting cluttered and will give you more space at home. 

All of your items will be kept safe with one of our storage units. All of our storage units are fitted with state of the art security systems. This includes an alarm and smoke and fire detection systems on every storage unit. There is also 24/7 CCTV around the entire Mitcham facility. 

Long-Term Travelling Storage 

The recent pandemic has highlighted life’s unpredictability, leading to a rise in adults taking gap years. Unlike younger travellers, adults often possess a significant amount of belongings requiring secure storage during their long-term travelling. Unless you have someone who is looking after their home, this can include the entire contents of a person’s home.

This is where our Mitcham long term storage really comes in handy. Whether you are heading off for 6 months or a year or more, you can rest assured that your belongings will be kept safe with us.
