4 Reasons to Choose a Drive-Up Storage Unit

June 10, 2021 by Kennards Self Storage

Whether you’re move from one home to another is delayed, decluttering in readiness for a sale or simply hoping to find affordable cheap storage, Kennards Self Storage St.Marys is a “must see” destination for your storage needs.

Here are four reasons why you might pick a drive-up storage unit over an indoor unit.

1.    Ease of Access
The most obvious benefit is how accessible they are for the person renting them. As the name implies, you can drive your vehicle directly to the unit. Because drive-up storage is also often used for bulk items, this minimizes the need to carry very heavy things, reducing stress and risk of damage to your belongings.

2.    Different Sizes
Storage units have never been a one-size-fits-all solution, so of course there are different options available to meet whatever your needs. There are a variety of sizes for your consideration—ranging from a modest 4.5m x 3m selection up to an enterprise space 15m x 6m option for when you need extra space for all your toys.

3.    Vehicle Storage
Drive-up spaces are obviously the best choice to store vehicles, too. Somewhere secure to put your project until you are ready for the restoration. Motorcycles, cars and vans, ATV’s and small boats can all be accommodated.
It’s important to take measurements first and ensure the vehicle you intend to store will actually fit in the unit you are renting.



4.    Storing Seasonal and Bulky Items
Many renters will delegate their storage unit as the priority location for storing seasonal and bulky items that they neither need year-round nor have space to store in their home or business. 

What better place to put your Christmas decorations? Similarly, large items such as ladders, ride-on mowers, jet skis, and other things that might not fit in your garage and you won’t use on a daily basis. In those circumstances, it’s best to keep them in a place, locked up and protected by an alarmed until.

And Keep it at Kennards!
