Moving? Renovating? Joining forces with someone else?
It’s fair to say that there are some occasions in all of our lives where the excitement and anticipation reach fever pitch.
If we’re lucky, those moments can be life-enhancing. They can be filled with joy. They can be momentous.
Other times, depending on the circumstances, those moments can be fraught with stress or tinged with sadness.
But, regardless of the circumstances, there comes a time in the middle of a move or a renovation when an unnerving reality begins to take hold.
Apart from the hustle and bustle of actually moving, a sudden reality can slowly kick in …
Your stuff.
All of that stuff!
Just what are you going to do with your stuff?
Storing Your Stuff
Here at Nesta Storage, we know how stressful any move can be.
Apart from the incredible volume of your possessions.
There is only so much room, after all. And, you may think that limited space can put an intolerable limit on what you can and can not keep.
That scrapbook you have since years of holding a special place in your heart. And what about that bike you had when you were only learning how to cycle?
Or the corner cabinet the in-laws buy that has never been a favorite of yours?
Wait. Hang on … This could actually work out in your favor!
The good news is, the possessions that you’ve been gathering for a lifetime, do not have to be thrown away. You do not have to be with your most loved, prized possessions at all.
You can store them away instead.
In this article, we’re going to talk all about self-storage units.
And, more importantly, we are going to give you advice on how to pick the best storage unit for you.

Brilliant. Let’s do this!
How to Pick the Best Storage Unit for You
Before you choose to go with a particular storage unit, there is a number of factors that you will want to take into consideration ahead of time.
1. Do Your Homework
Before you opt to put your possessions into any storage unit, you’ve got to make sure you’re picking up the storage unit you picked.
Finding the perfect storage unit is like finding a babysitter you can depend on. You would not trust the care of your children with just anyone, would you? The same goes for your most loved possessions.
Doing your homework first is a good place to start.
When you’re looking at storage units, here are some things you will definitely want to consider.
Location
A lot of people consider the location to be one of the most important factors in the decision-making process. But, often, this can actually be a costly mistake.
There is no quicker way to store your precious memories away in a sub-par storage unit, than when you choose to go with the one that is closest to your home – purely because that unit is closest to your home.
Of course, you will want a storage unit that is not a million miles away, but, you will not want to compromise on quality to get one.
Give yourself options and make sure that your storage unit company is a very reputable one before you sign on the dotted line.
