Moving and storage pods are gaining popularity in Phoenix and across the country, but it is important to recognize the benefits of traditional storage and to learn more about renting a storage unit today. If you are moving and need to store your belongings for a short period of time, or if you are looking for a separate space to keep some items that do not fit into your condo, apartment, or smaller home, you might be weighing the pros and cons of Phoenix storage versus a pod. In most cases, unless you need help transporting your items all at once from one location to another that is quite some distance away, a storage unit is most likely going to be the better choice. Benefits of a Traditional Self-Storage Unit in Phoenix There are many benefits to a traditional self-storage over a storage pod for residents of the Phoenix area who need a place to keep large items and boxes. According to an article from Smart Living Network, one of the biggest perks of a storage unit is that you have a lot of latitude in choosing the size of the space that is best for you. At the US Storage Centers facility in Phoenix at 4817 North 7th Avenue, customers can choose from indoor units as small as 4x4 to units as large as 12x12. Depending on the size and weight of the items you are transporting to your storage unit, you can also select a storage unit that is on the first floor to make moving and storage easier. In addition to choosing the size of your unit, the US Storage Centers facility in Phoenix provides you with climate-controlled units that have air conditioning inside. This is extremely important if you are storing fragile belongings or other items that could be damaged by humidity and moisture. With an air cooled unit, you will not have to worry about finding ways to prevent the buildup of mildew or mold on books, furniture, clothing, and other items that you might choose to place in storage. Another clear benefit of a self-storage unit in Phoenix (instead of a pod) is that you can have regular access to your items. Indeed, the US Storage Centers building on North 7th Avenue provides daily access hours from 8:30 a.m. until 5:30 p.m. This way, you can visit the storage site whenever you need to get into a box of books or to grab some seasonal clothing that you packed away in your unit. Why Storage Units Are the Better Choice The Smart Living Network article emphasizes that, while pods can be delivered to your home so that you do not have to visit a storage site, there are a number of cons associated with pods. First, pod rentals often are more expensive than monthly storage unit costs. As such, it is quite possible that you will save money by renting a Phoenix storage unit instead of a pod. Additionally, when you store belongings in a pod, you may not be able to access with pod with any kind of regularity. This means that it can be difficult and sometimes impossible to access your items.
