The current state of the economy is leading many people to downsize their homes. When moving from a five bedroom home to a three bedroom home, most of these people will need more space than is provided by their new homes, to store the extra rooms of furniture from their old homes. The answer for these people is Calgary storage . Local furniture storing provides a person with the extra space they need when they find that they just do not have enough household space of their own. Finding the space you need for storing your furniture is made easier by knowing what you are looking for in a rental facility.

Local Calgary storage comes in two varieties, temperature controlled and non climate controlled. Temperature controlled units will provide a persons extra furniture with protection from extreme heat or cold. This protection is very important when storing leather furniture or antique furniture. Sustained freezing temperatures can cause the leather of a persons furniture to crack and the wood to contract, often permanently warping the wood. Extreme heat can cause both leather and wood to expand and will often dry out the natural oils from each. Non climate controlled furniture storing units will provide no protection for a persons furniture against these damaging conditions.

When storing furniture, a person should also be concerned about the security of the Calgary storage facility they will be utilizing. The storing industry has a saying, if you value your belongings enough to pay for storing, you should pay to store your belongings in a safe and secure facility. Desirable security features include on site managers, access controlled gates, video surveillance cameras, door alarms, and secure fencing. The more secure a facility is, the more secure a persons furniture is that is being stored in the facility. As a general rule, you should insure the access to the facility is controlled via a computerized access control system and that facility utilizes twenty four hour video surveillance.

The amount of space you will need depends on the amount of furniture you will be storing. Calgary storage units come in a wide variety of shapes and sizes to meet an equally wide variety of needs. One of the most common unit sizes used to store furniture is the ten feet by ten feet space. The ten foot by ten foot unit is half the size of a one car garage, giving the renter one hundred square feet of space to store their furniture. With the standard eight feet ceiling height, the ten by ten units provide eight hundred cubic feet of space. That is enough room to hold the furniture of a one bedroom home or apartment.

For those needing more space, the ten feet wide by twenty feet deep Calgary storage unit offers twice the area of the ten by ten units with two hundred square feet of space. The size of a one car garage, the ten by twenty units will comfortably hold the furniture of a two bedroom home or apartment. There are many other sizes of units available at your local furniture storing facility. If you are unsure of the size of the unit you will need to meet your furniture storing needs, most facilities will welcome your visit and provide you with a tour of their available units.
