Many people realize the advantages of climate controlled storage over regular storage units. Those that have items that may be damaged due to exposure to more extreme temperature and humidity changes may benefit from choosing a unit that has climate control. For example, those that are storing comic books and baseball cards as investments want to make sure there is no damage. Even important documents that are not stored for investment purposes such as marriage certificates should be stored with climate control so that they don’t look bad when they’re needed again. Regardless of the reason to get a climate controlled unit, the cost is often worthwhile when the benefit is that items can be retrieved without any damage.

When getting a climate controlled storage unit, it is important to get the right size and to make efficient use of the available space. Many storage units have high ceilings that make it easier to store larger objects. Consumers can take advantage of the high ceilings by making use of all space available from the floor to ceiling. This means planning how the storage unit is going to be loaded. In the end, the items placed in storage should be stacked as efficiently as possible. Large and heavy items at the bottom. Then stack lighter and smaller items on top. Try to stack as much as possible without any threat of having items tip over. Safety is important, but it is also important to load the unit efficiently. Otherwise, the consumer will have to upgrade and pay more money for loading the unit inefficiently.

Although users of regular storage units may retrieve items from time to time, retrieval of items is more common with many who rent climate controlled storage at places like St. Anne’s Self Storage. To make it easier to retrieve smaller items, it is a good idea to create a narrow trail throughout the unit so that items do not have to be removed to get to the rear of the storage unit. The time it takes to retrieve items is going to be less. There will be fewer items removed in order to complete the retrieval.
