From the fact they give you more time to load to allowing for more flexibility with storage, there are several benefits to using a storage container for a relocation in cold weather instead of a traditional moving truck. Let’s go over five of them.
1. They Free Up Valuable Space
During the winter, families tend to spend more time indoors, which means interior space can be cramped on occasion. If you’re wanting to avoid cabin fever during the cold-weather months, consider freeing up valuable space by using a storage container to keep clutter and other items out of the way. Even if you’re not storing seasonal items, the extra space will come in handy and you’ll be able to maximize storage in the different spaces of your home.
2. Protect Temperature-Sensitive Items
Two of the biggest factors that damage items are: 1, the presence of moisture; and 2, frequent temperature changes. Certain areas of your home might have limited moisture control, such as the attic, while others might have less protection from the elements. Both of these are bad news for items like fine art, electronics and other valuables. A storage container, however, can be stored in a climate-controlled facility to ensure belongings are secure and protected.
3. Better Organization
A storage container can also help you be more organized. By storing only seasonal (i.e. summer) items, you can keep them all in the same place and out of the way. You can even use the storage container as a seasonal organization tool, and load/unload it when you’re ready to change the decor in your home.
4. Flexible Timelines
Worried about delays or loading the storage container in time? With companies like SAM (Store & Move), you can load up the storage container on your timeline. Clients are billed monthly, so how and where you use your container is up to you. Just give us a call when you’re ready for your storage container to be picked up or delivered. Bad weather preventing you from loading? No worries, just do it the next day (or whenever the weather cooperates again).
5. Rates Can Be More Attractive
Finally, some storage container companies offer more affordable rates in the cold-weather months, as people tend to use them for moves in the popular summer months. This can be good news for those seeking cold-weather storage, as demand and rates are low and it’s easier to get a unit when you want.
