22 Feb Top 5 Reasons People Rent Kamloops Self Storage
People rent our Kamloops self storage units for many reasons, but the one common denominator is a need for additional space. We all have things that we don’t need access to all the time: furniture, clothing, equipment and tools, electronics, seasonal items, sporting and leisure gear, keepsakes, memorabilia, arts and crafts, and much more. Having storage near your Kamloops home lets you reclaim space and have somewhere safe for the belongings you’d rather not store at home.
The following are the top 5 reasons people rent self storage at Valleyview Mini Storage.
Moving
Self storage is frequently a requirement when you move homes or offices. Moving storage often starts out as a temporary need, then people realize the convenience and continue using storage long after they have settled into their new place.

In your business

Make Room in an “Empty Nest”
Many people that use our Kamloops storage facility are experiencing “empty nest syndrome”. The kids have grown up and left home and left you to sort out their storage problems! With the help of a storage unit, you can stop storing your children’s belongings in unused bedrooms, basements, or garages, and finally convert those spaces into something more useful, such as an office, den, or guest bedroom.
Downsizing
Some empty-nesters downsize, moving out of the family home and into a smaller house or apartment. As a result of downsizing living space, storage space is also downsized! A self storage unit is an excellent temporary (or permanent) solution to space problems if you have downsized or are planning to downsize.
Support a Trade or Home-Based Business
Self-employed tradespeople sometimes rent self storage rather than storing valuable tools, equipment, and materials at home or in their work vehicles. Storing valuable work-related belongings at home takes up living space, and storing things in your vehicle or garage is an open invitation to thieves.
