Take only the amount of storage that you need. Mini storage usually suffices and more mini storage units can be added as requirement increases. It is better to invest money in the quality of the self storage rather than the size. Climate controlled facilities are great for ensuring better shelf life of stored items. A customer may not realize it but safe storing does not necessarily guarantee that objects will not spoil. In extreme temperatures or humidity, most things rot easily. Temperature controlled units may cost marginally extra to begin with but ensure better chances of survival for delicate objects.
