Alternative use for storage units.
Trade counters.
Trade counters at a self-storage facility offer a unique and beneficial service that many people might not expect. These counters provide a convenient space for businesses to operate, allowing them to meet clients, display products, or even conduct sales directly from the facility. This added service enhances the flexibility and utility of the storage space, making it more than just a place for storing items. By accommodating trade counters, the facility supports local businesses, offering them a cost-effective solution for their operational needs without the overhead of a traditional storefront. This versatility demonstrates the facility's commitment to catering to diverse customer needs, proving that it can accommodate anything beyond conventional storage expectations.
Upcycling
Another recent trend is upcycling – taking old or discarded household items and giving them a new lease of life through repurposing or overhauling. A self-storage unit makes for an ideal workshop with a plenty of space for your ‘to-do’ collection. Walls can be put to shelving use to further bolster your capacity to stash future project parts, tools and restoration equipment.
eBay shops
The eBay start-up seller can use storage for their products. Not everyone wants to use their home as their eBay stockroom. Aside from space concerns, there are home insurance implications and the increased risk of making your house a target for burglaries. Self-storage facilities are a staffed and safer option for your goods.
Band practice
In the UK, government cutbacks have resulted in the depressing closure of a number of community amenities. Trying to hire a hall or building for your group to jam is getting harder. And you often need to travel further afield for the privilege. Storage facilities can be a great place to practice without disturbing the neighbours and have enough space for your whole group. Look for premises that have electrical outlets if you need power for amps and keyboards.
