Self storage comes in handy in a variety of situations, whether you\u2019re moving, downsizing, remodeling or you simply don\u2019t have enough storage space at home.<\/p>\n

The outdoorsy, laid-back lifestyle that characterizes Atlanta means that many of its residents may have complex storage needs. From the sports equipment to the garden furniture you use in the summer to host your friends and family, you simply might not have enough storage space at home to contain it all.<\/p>\n

Fortunately, Atlanta has a well-developed self storage sector, with almost 90 facilities available in the area. Renting a 10\u2019x10\u2019 self storage unit in Atlanta<\/a> costs around $110 per month \u2013 that\u2019s about as big as half of a standard garage, which means that you can store plenty of items in one.<\/p>\n

Here are the top items worth keeping in self storage in Atlanta:<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n

1. Sports and camping equipment<\/strong><\/h2>\n

Whether you\u2019re a biking enthusiast, love camping or a keen golfer, you have plenty of places to practice your favorite outdoor activity in and around Atlanta. However, finding space at home to store all that equipment might be a bit more complicated, particularly if you live in an apartment or have a big family and thus more complex storage needs.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

Sacrificing storage space inside the house might not be the best idea \u2013 it means that other items end up scattered around your home, creating a cluttered, messy look. And, as sports equipment tends to be expensive, storing it in your attic, garage or shed, exposed to many environmental factors, is not an ideal solution.<\/p>\n

Using self storage for your sports equipment comes in handy. A 5\u2019x5\u2019 storage unit ( about the size of your average home closet) is ideal for storing small sports equipment, such as golf clubs, for example. However, if you are planning to store larger items, like camping gear or bikes, you should get a larger unit \u2013 the 5\u2019x10\u2019 one might be exactly what you need.<\/p>\n

2. Outdoor furniture and gardening tools<\/strong><\/h2>\n

Atlanta\u2019s climate allows for long evenings in the garden, barbecuing with family and friends, throughout a good portion of the year \u2013 that\u2019s one of the city\u2019s biggest appeals. However, it\u2019s unlikely that you\u2019ll be able to use your outdoor furniture and barbecue grill during the rainy and chilly winter months. And you definitely won\u2019t need your gardening tools during that time either. So, instead of leaving your outdoor furniture in the yard, exposed to the elements, or cluttering your garage with an entire host of gardening tools, rent a self storage unit and keep all of it safe until spring returns.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

3. Antiques and other delicate items<\/strong><\/h2>\n

As any city with a long and interesting history, Atlanta has its fair share of antique shops and antique enthusiasts. Storing said antiques and valuables, be it furniture, artwork, books and so on, is another story. The city\u2019s nickname is Hotlanta, and for good reason \u2013 summers can get very hot and quite humid as well. That\u2019s far from being the perfect environment for antiques and other fragile valuables. So, if you\u2019re dabbing in collecting such items, or if you\u2019re simply gathering great stuff for your future dream home, your best bet for storing them is a climate-controlled self storage unit.<\/p>\n

A climate-controlled unit ensures constant temperature and humidity regardless of the outside weather and offers just the right environment for antiques and collectibles – and for other types of valuables, including electronics, expensive clothing or leather bags and shoes.<\/p>\n

4. Tools and equipment for small businesses<\/strong><\/h2>\n

Many small businesses need space to store their equipment, tools, materials or documents. From contractors wanting to store their construction equipment as close as possible to the worksite to accounting firms in search of extra space for their documents, self storage can help a great variety of businesses.<\/p>\n

It\u2019s a flexible service that allows customers to rent as much, or as little space as they need, on month-to-to month bases. Also, there are self storage facilities all over Atlanta, so businesses can easily find storage units in the areas where they need to keep their stuff.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

5. RVs, cars and other types of motorized vehicles<\/strong><\/h2>\n

Atlanta residents have the option of visiting gorgeous natural attractions located not that far away from the city \u2013 from Georgia\u2019s portion of the Appalachian Trail<\/a> to the spectacular Cloudland Canyon State \u00a0Park<\/a>, there\u2019s no shortage of destinations.<\/p>\n

The city also has numerous RV campgrounds within a short driving distance, perfect for a weekend getaway \u2013 as a result, RV-ing is quite popular in the area. Parking your RV in between getaways, however, might be a bit of a problem.<\/p>\n

Few people have a yard big enough for an RV, or the access to park such a vehicle in their backyard. And leaving it on the street, or in your driveway, will certainly cause headaches for you and your neighbors. The best solution is to rent an RV parking space at a self storage facility. Depending on your preferences, you can get an outdoor space, one that\u2019s covered, or even a completely enclosed storage unit big enough for your RV.<\/p>\n

You can also use self storage to keep a car you\u2019re not currently using, or other recreational vehicles (boats, ATVs, dirt bikes and so on).<\/p>\n
