The demand for facilities offering public storage solutions is growing in the Okanagan. Here’s why.
Kelowna self-storage facilities have been around for years. The need to store things out of the home is nothing new; however, storage units are becoming more and more popular among homeowners and residents in the Okanagan.
There may be a variety of different reasons why these units are in high demand, but here are some of the most common:
1. Moving
This reason may be the most common reason of all, and perhaps the cause for the initial demand for storage spaces in the first place. When people transition from one place to the next, especially when possession dates are involved, their possessions may require a temporary home during this period.
2. Students
Another common group of people seeking out storage solutions are students. When they move into or out of a dorm or decide to take a year off to travel, they may find themselves in need of a place to store their things. This is where storage facilities play a big role.
3. Big Life Changes
From getting married (or divorcing) to having a baby to preparing for retirement, the big milestones in life can lead to a need for storage units. This may mean clearing out the spare room for a nursery, downsizing in order to move into a smaller home, or simply having two of everything with no place to keep it all.
4. Seasonal Public Storage Needs
As the seasons change, so do the toys and possessions we keep. Boating gear, outdoor play structures, gardening tools, and winter ski equipment can all take up valuable space around the home when not in use. This is why some homeowners prefer an external storage space away from the home for their seasonal equipment.
5. Renovations and Remodelling
Clearing out the items in the spaces scheduled for a remodel or renovation can be a huge help. Instead of jamming the displaced items into other already-packed rooms in the home, homeowners are finding it super beneficial to put them in storage lockers or even portable storage units until the work has been completed.
6. Business Storage Needs
Another group of people that frequently require storage units are business owners. From storing documents to taking advantage of commercial storage and warehousing space, there are many reasons why business owners require self-storage solutions.
