Let's Talk ShedsDesign & experiences with storage sheds & garages

“131 unit break-in at a Public Storage facility”

“Drugs & weapons found at mini storage facility”

“Suspicious 2-alarm fire damages self storage units”

“Rodents, Rats and Mice— Oh My!”

These are not the headlines you want to see.  You see the ads every day about cleaning out your garage and closets to make room.  But do you know the risks involved with these places?

When you gather a large group of people and their worldly possessions all in one facility or warehouse, their problems and friends become yours.  You share the space with families & businesses fighting over the items in storage.  Some are hiding things that may or may not even belong to them.  Some are simply storing wine.  Others are storing highly corrosive and explosive chemicals.  Criminals can easily rent a space, just to gain access to your property.  You just don’t know who or what may be sharing the space in the next locker over.

There is another option that you may have over looked.  That is having your own storage place in your or a friend’s backyard.  Having a quality wood storage shed installed greatly reduces the threat of loss or damage by others.  You have greater security and control, versus shared space or self storage facilities.  Plus you have unlimited access at any time to your stuff.  Additionally this can save you money in the long run.

What about the cost?  If you keep your stuff at a storage facility for 18 to 20 months, you could have paid for a new storage shed.  The storage facility industry knows that if you don’t move out within the first 6 months, you will be paying them for years and years.  That’s money that you could be using more wisely.

Plus the storage shed can be customized for your individual needs and add value to the property it’s installed on.  A shed may start off as bulk storage.  But over time it will be used for: out of town guests, the cool play house for the kids or grand kids, game room, craft room, art studio, home office or even that potting shed you have dreamed about.  Families and businesses are always looking for more space to live and grow.  Don’t you think a new shed may be a better answer?
