Clearing Out a Closet for My Gardening Supplies

In my small home, closet space is at a premium. I guess that's really the case for most people, though, since the larger your home, the more stuff you usually have to put in it! Anyway, when I decided to start a garden in my little townhome's back lawn last summer, I really needed to clear out a closet so that I could store my gardening supplies somewhere in my home. After all, I needed at least a few bags of fertilizer and some hand tools to use for my garden, and I really didn't have place to put them at that point!

So I started going through my closets to consolidate things and to hopefully clear out one whole closet for gardening supplies. It wasn't happening. There was just no way to whittle down what I owned in my closets so that I could clear out an entire closet for my gardening stuff. So I had to come up with another option.

The option I came up with was to rent a closet. That's right! I wanted to rent a closet! I'd heard from a coworker that this Redondo Beach Self Storage place called US Storage Centers actually had these very affordable closet-sized storage units. I had always thought storage units were typically like the size of a garage, but I guess not. A Redondo Beach Self Storage unit the size of a small closet would be exactly what I would need to clear out space for my gardening supplies in my actual townhome.

That weekend, I went to talk to the US Storage Centers Redondo Beach Self Storage manager to see what he would say about the different rental options there. I was pleasantly surprised by what I learned.

For one thing, the prices of the US Storage Centers Redondo Beach Self Storage units were really very low – so low that they would easily fit into my budget. I was prepared to spend a bit of money for my garden, anyway! I didn't really know that part of that would be just renting some space so that I would have room for my gardening tools, but that wasn't a big deal for me at all!

Why My Clients Use Redondo Beach Self Storage for Paperwork

I've been in the professional organizing business for several years now, and I know that paperwork and documents can be some of the most annoying and frustrating things for people to organize. Even small business owners whose very business success depends upon keeping the paperwork organized and in order often find that they aren't great at keeping everything organized.

So when I'm in the process of helping a business owner get organized, what I'll often do is suggest that they find a bit more space through a Redondo Beach Self Storage unit. Often times, even I, the professional organizer, can't figure out a way for the business owner to fit and organize all his or her paperwork in the available space. When that happens, I always send my clients to US Storage Centers Redondo Beach Self Storage location.

There are several reasons that renting a self storage unit from a place like US Storage Centers Redondo Beach Self Storage location makes sense for businesses who are having difficulty storing their paperwork and documents. Here are just a few:

Space for Cheap

The biggest reason that I recommend a place like Redondo Beach Self Storage for business clients is that they can get a bit of extra room for things like documents and paperwork without paying a fortune for it. Many times, clients wonder if they should just move into a larger workspace by renting a bigger office space or whatnot. For a few, this is actually a good idea, but many business owners like the space they're in as far as location and price and only need a little bit of extra room to stay organized.

It's these business owners who can most benefit from a Redondo Beach Self Storage unit. The best part about the storage units is that they're very affordable, and they come in several different sizes. I've had clients rent a 5x5 unit, which is no larger than your average reach-in closet, and I've had some who have rented a hundred square feet of space specifically for document storage. The wide variety of unit sizes means that clients can choose exactly the space that works best for their needs.

Plus, the space at the Redondo Beach Self Storage location is relatively cheap. Often times, clients are amazed at how affordable the extra space is and at how much different it makes in the operation and organization of their business. Often times, you get back more than you invest in the US Storage Centers Redondo Beach Self Storage unit in the man hours and related expenses you save because you have your paperwork organized!

Storing Furniture at Redondo Beach Self Storage

Redondo Beach – Storing My Apartment Furniture During a Summer at Home

Going home in the summers during college isn't a big deal for most college students who are within a few hours' drive of their homes while they're at school. When you're coming from halfway around the world, though, going home during the summers is a whole different ballgame. Last summer was the first during my three years of school at El Camino College that I was able to go home to England from Redondo Beach. One of the biggest logistical problems with the whole thing was figuring out what to do with the furniture I owned in my apartment building at the time.

A friend of mine had used a Redondo Beach Self Storage location called US Storage Centers the summer before while she went on a trip abroad, and she suggested that I check them out, too. The Redondo Beach Self Storage location was close to my college apartment, so I went by after class one day.

At first glance the Redondo Beach Self Storage location was promising. It was clean and tidy, and it looked like there were quite a few security cameras. Since I wouldn't be around to check on my storage unit during that summer, I wanted to make sure that the furniture I was storing there would be in good shape when I got back.

So, I went to talk to the manager about the size of unit I might need and the prices we'd be talking about. The US Storage Centers Redondo Beach Self Storage location had excellent prices and tons of different unit sizes to choose from. The manager was very knowledgeable about what types of furnishings would fit in each unit size, and his advice helped me find the perfectly sized unit for my apartment stuff.

I was mostly storing furniture. The few other belongings I had would mainly be going back to England with me, since much of the décor and kitchen furnishings for the apartment belonged to my roommate, anyway. I asked the manager if he had any tips for making sure that my furniture stayed in excellent shape while it was in storage, and he was able to give me a few great tips to help me make sure my furniture stayed in excellent shape.

Here are a few of the tips the manager of the US Storage Centers Redondo Beach Self Storage location gave me:

  • Use cotton instead of plastic. Some places will try to sell you these big sheets of thin plastic for covering furniture while it's in storage. Covering your furniture is a good idea, but covering it in plastic – not so much. That's because plastic doesn't breathe. It can trap moisture from the air against furniture, causing weird smells, rot, and mildew. Not good! Instead, drape cotton drop cloths or sheets over your furniture to protect it with something that breathes.

Storing Baby Stuff in Redondo Beach

Getting the Extra Baby Stuff Out of the House

It's really amazing when you have a baby how much extra stuff you end up with. Some of it is due to the fact that you always buy more than you actually need, per the advice of all the parenting magazines. (Advertiser support, anyone?) Part of it is also due to the fact that every well-meaning friend, neighbor, family member, and practical stranger in the world seems to come out of the woodwork with a blanket, and outfit, or some other little trinket for your new little one. In the end, you end up with more toys, blankets, and baby gear than one infant could hope to use before she grows out of it all so quickly!

In real life, this is just to be expected, and it's not a huge problem. It's better to have too much baby stuff than to not be able to provide for your little one, after all. However, all the extra baby stuff can become a problem when it comes to trying to sell your home, when you're trying to declutter and make everything look as neat as possible. We had this problem a few months ago, but it was solved when we discovered the US Storage Centers Redondo Self Storage location near our home.

See, when we first had the realtor over to our home to discuss our options for selling it, she was a little taken aback by the sheer amount of baby stuff, toys, clothes, blankets, etc. that cluttered up nearly every room of our home. Even the bathroom was overtaken by baby washes and shampoos of various types for some reason! She suggested we somehow try to whittle down on the things we kept out so that the house would be ready for showing at any time. Since we didn't have much garage or closet space, we decided to try to find a Redondo Self Storage unit close to our home so that we could store the baby gear we didn't really need at the time.

We looked around for different Redondo Self Storage units before we found US Storage Centers Redondo Self Storage. It was close to our home, but it had lots of other advantages, too. It had some of the best prices in town, especially once you applied the discount we got for the first few months of renting our unit. It also offered an automatic debit option that made paying for the unit easier and took one more thing to remember off our plates.

Sports & Storage - Redondo Beach

Storing Our Tailgating Gear

Around here, tailgating for pretty much any football game that comes around is a must. My buddies and I even have tailgating parties when we have a flag football game! It's great to get together and enjoy good food, good beers, and good times in the outdoors, but all that good food and good beer takes some preparation – and some tailgating gear. Since we pretty much all live in small apartments right now, we rely on our shared Redondo Self Storage unit for storing our tailgating gear.

You don't really think about how much stuff is involved with a great tailgating party until you've experienced our professional level of tailgating. We have coolers, shade tents, umbrellas, camp chairs, grills, and more – all for our frequent fall get-togethers. Pretty much every one of us has our own gear, too, since it takes a lot to feed all of us at a tailgate party. When all of us five or six guys was having trouble finding a spot to keep our tailgating gear in our small apartments, we decided to check out Redondo Self Storage units.

At first, we were each going to get our own small Redondo Self Storage unit, but eventually, we decided it might be a better option to combine all our stuff into one unit. We looked around at different places, and we decided on a Redondo Self Storage location called US Storage Centers for storing all of our tailgating gear.

A couple of us guys went together to check out different Redondo Self Storage units, and when we went to US Storage Centers, we were pretty sure it was the right option for us. For one thing, the prices were great, and the specials they were running certainly didn't hurt either. Sure, we were splitting the cost of our Redondo Self Storage unit five ways, but we still didn't want to spend any more than we needed to on this storage unit for our tailgating stuff!

Also, the security at the US Storage Centers Redondo Self Storage location was great. It was set up nicely for sharing a storage unit, too. We needed to punch a code to get into the gate, and we could share the code with however many people we wanted to. We were also able to choose our own lock. Picking a sturdy combination lock was a good choice for us because we could also share the combination around with whoever was going to be renting the Redondo Self Storage unit with us.

My Self Storage Story - Redondo Beach

Storing My Hunting Gear

When you're really into hunting, you can end up with a whole lot of hunting gear. Since I hunt pretty much everything there is to hunt throughout the state of California, I'm gone on some hunting expedition or another almost every weekend. Luckily, I have a very tolerant wife! But she's not so tolerant of the fact that my hunting gear piles up in our garage, attic, and every closet in the house. Between the bows, guns, ammunition, portable treestands, waterfowl blinds, decoys, game cameras, and survival gear, it really does get a bit ridiculous in our overcrowded house. When she threatened to sell it all on eBay unless I found a way to deal with it, I looked into solutions and found a Redondo Beach Self Storage location called US Storage Solutions pretty quick!

When I was looking at different Redondo Self Storage locations, I was mostly interested in getting a good deal and not storing my hunting gear too far away from my home. I didn't have a whole lot of extra money to spend on a place to store all my hunting gear, unless I wanted to give up some of the money that I had to spend on new hunting gear – which was not about to happen! There were a couple of Temecula Self Storage locations closer to my home than US Storage Centers, but I chose it because it had reasonable prices and better security measures than I would have expected.

Security wasn't something I thought about too much at first, but when I looked at the first couple of storage options, I did become concerned about it. After all, I was getting ready to put thousands of dollars' worth of hunting gear in a storage unit, and I needed it to be secure enough that it wouldn't just go missing. When I saw the security measures at US Storage Centers Redondo Self Storage – like cameras everywhere and individually alarmed storage unit doors – I knew security had suddenly become a little more important to me!

Redondo Beach Self Storage

The way that people store things around their house is always changing, with no zip technologies and space-saving cabinets and plastics.

If you do this, like millions of others around the world, then you are more in need of a Redondo self storage unit than some of your friends or neighbors.

With a Redondo self storage unit, you will be able to empty all of the things that you keep cramming into your garage into a space meant to hold your old things. That is the essence of your Redondo self storage unit, and you can find one that fits you at your local Redondo self storage location. Whatever the size of the Redondo self storage room that you need, you have the chance to find one that fits you. If you need a Redondo self storage unit for your car or your boat, or if you need a Redondo self storage unit just for a few old boxes and your lawnmower, you can find the unit that matches your need.

When you have cornered the storage market with your Redondo self storage area, you can finally take a step back and revel in the new opportunities that you have in your garage. You might walk into your garage for the first time after moving your things into your Redondo self storage location, and you might not recognize the garage in front of you.

You will be able to have the fun in your garage that you owe to yourself, and you won’t have to worry about dinging up your car, dropping a hammer off a shelf, navigating around bulky tool boxes or stepping through dirt and who knows what else that blows in from outside – and, again, you will be thanking your local Redondo self storage unit.
