subject: How To Use Domestic Storage Facilities [print this page] People the world over like to buy stuff and expand their collection of everyday objects. As one becomes older, one's needs multiply quickly. However, the living space remains the same, and suddenly, you find that there is no place to store all your stuff. If you are moving out of your current home to a new one, you need to pack and store all your things in an organised manner. You have to find an effective solution to store all these items. The best option for you would be to find a self storage facility and use it for all your domestic storage needs.
When you realise that your house is too clumsy and it needs reorganisation, your first action should be to categorise all your stuff. You should make an inventory of all the objects in your house, and sort out those items that you won't need very often. You should then separate these items from the rest and move it to a self storage facility. If you have too many books, you can use a rectangular slotted carton (RSC) to pack them all. You should also write down a list of all the books that you are going to move into the self storage room. However, in the event of a fire, rectangular slotted cartons won't save the books from damage. You should buy fire resistant wooden cabinets which are quite heavy but strong.
Sometimes, you may have a lot of clothes that you seldom use. These clothes can be moved to the domestic storage facility in a wardrobe box with cloth hangers. You should choose a big storage room if you have a lot of stuff to move. Insect repellant balls will also prove to be very useful inside a storage room. You should pack all your cardboard boxes with packing tape and secure the bottom flaps. You can also store electronic appliances like the television, computer, wireless phone, and so on. It would be better to pack these gadgets in their own cardboard cartons.
All other domestic utilities like clocks, utensils, china dishes, airtight plastic boxes, chests and wires can be stored in the self storage rooms. One amazing fact about these storage rooms is that even furniture can be moved into them. You should hire a professional mover to shift unwanted furniture into a big storage room. You can leave the storage rooms undisturbed for any period of time as long as you pay the rent properly.
The security factor needs special mention. All self storage rooms are extremely safe and secure. You can have your own padlock and key for a storage room, and you can install whatever additional security you want. For instance, you can mount closed circuit television cameras (CCTV) inside the room for round-the-clock surveillance. You can use a fingerprint reader or an eyeball tracker to ensure that only you can open the room. There are a lot of storage companies that offer self storage rooms for rent. You can easily find them online.
