The hired module is for private use and is integrated into a larger building with many other modules inside.
Self- Storage centers are characterized by offering facilities specially designed with ease of use by customers in mind. For private customers, Self- Storage is a safe way to free up space at home, or a solution to a specific storage problem such as a move or a renovation.

You may have to move to a smaller house. Sometimes your new home may be in the middle of a renovation project; You may temporarily move to another place to work or study, even if you are going abroad, or you may merge all the things from two households into one (in case you move with your loved one). Or maybe a baby is on the way.
If you need to store your gardening tools or for a musician your musical instruments, or for a filmmaker or an artist painter, it is better to keep all those things in a “Self-Storage” than to pile them in the car.

The Box to Keep/Put Away: Items that end up in this box are used on a daily or weekly basis and just need to be put away in their proper spot. If a “keep” item belongs in the area you’re decluttering, don’t even put it in this box, just put it away where it belongs immediately.

A warehouse or warehouse is more than a large space to free the house or office, it must become a functional place and for this reason, developing an organizational strategy is the key to success. Keep in mind that a storage warehouse does not have to fulfill a single purpose, we believe that with the appropriate classification system, you can store your personal and work things without inconvenience in one place.
If you store things neatly, not only will it be easier to find them when you need them, but you will also have more free space. Follow the tips below and find out for yourself:
Sorting items into similar types makes it much easier to find things. For example, put garden tools together, toys, camping equipment, and so on.
When you are in the storage warehouse with your things well classified, start organizing them on the walls, how? It’s very simple: from each pile of belongings, choose the ones that you can hang and install the appropriate brackets on the wall to hold them.
However, you must take into consideration that the walls cannot be perforated, nor can the infrastructure of the warehouse be altered.
By taking advantage of the walls, you will discover that there are hooks designed to hold bicycles, ladders, and all kinds of equipment; use racks, organizers, etc., so that the only thing you need to order is the things that cannot be hung.
The best part of this type of modern bracket is that it can be installed in compliance with the regulations of Self-Storage.
Maximize storage space by placing things you can’t hang upright. Add some shelving or stack your goods using boxes or plastic containers. If the warehouse has beams, use them for hanging or storing things. Specialized storage spaces offer ample opportunities to maximize vertical storage.
