  It is no secret that the storage industry has seen exponential growth in the past few years. As more people seek storage solutions, more storage companies pop up! But what caused this sudden boom, and with all the different storage companies in the market, what are the different storage solutions available? The truth is, there is no one factor that contributed to people seeking storage solutions. Rather, there were several factors, and a ‘domino effect’, if you would like to call it that. You see, with the property market slowly taking a turn, and being as unstable as it is, people have started renting rather than buying as a way to protect themselves financially. It also means there is little tying them down, should they ever feel like leaving the country.

  As more people opt for renting, they cannot always be in control of the layout of the house, or the size, depending on their budgetary constraints, of course. As such, they may not have enough space for all their appliances, holiday decorations, holiday equipment, or furniture. But since they are renting, they do not want to get rid of anything, as they may need it again in the future. This is where your storage solutions come into play! In addition to this, the cost of living has increased tenfold over the past decade. Young adults that leave home and move into their own place cannot afford the things older generations could at their age. As a result, parents have started storing various items, such as crockery, cutlery, and furniture, which their children can take when they move out.

  This would obviously lead the family to obtaining a storage unit, as storing furniture and breakable items like crockery in one’s garage or shed would not be wise. Of course, there are several other reasons why one may require a storage unit, whether for personal use, or commercial use. Whatever the reason, the demand for storage continues to grow as the years pass. As a result, companies have had to come up with different solutions they can offer customers, as different people will have different needs, whether in terms of the size of the unit, the type of unit, or the affordability of the unit.

  For the purpose of this article, the two main types of storage will be discussed, namely self-storage, and portable storage. These units are exactly what their names suggest. Self-storage means you rent a static unit of whatever size you require and store the items you need to. The portable storage units for rent, however, are not static. They can be moved! Therefore, if you need to store items, the company can bring the unit to your home or your office, and you can pack the unit right there! Not only is this far more convenient, as you no longer need to hire a trailer or moving service, but it is also far more affordable. Whenever you need to add something to the unit, or take something out, you simply visit the facility, and they will bring your unit out for you!
