How To Pack for Long Term vs. Short-Term Storage

Overview:

When you are going through a relocation, whether you are moving your home or business, putting items in storage can allow you more time settle into your new space.. There are many reasons to consider storage:

  • Residential or commercial downsizing
  • Needing a temporary extension of your home to keep valuables safe
  • Long distance relocation

Deciding whether you need long-term or short-term storage is another factor to consider before you start the process of your commercial or residential move so it is important to consider all options available to you so you can make a sound investment as well as give yourself a head start on sorting your belongings.

Consider How Much Time Your Relocation Is Going To Take

If you are planning a commercial or residential move within Calgary, you may need time to settle into the space before you can fully unpack your belongings. You may require short-term storage. Short term storage is also useful for

  • Home renovations

Storing bulky sports equipment, yard or home maintenance equipment, etc.

Long-term storage is helpful in situations where your residential or commercial relocation involves:

  • Long distance moving
  • Changes in familial or financial situations

Whether you require long-term or short-term storage, time is needed to take stock of your new home or business and plan to lay out your belongings.
