Maybe you need to clear up room in your shed or garage, so you decide to use temporary storage for your sporting equipment. Perhaps you are planning some home renovations and use it to keep your furniture out of the way and clean while the work is done. It could be that you are trying to sell your house and you use temporary storage as a place to keep some of the clutter while you show the house. Unless you have an extremely friendly neighbor with a lot of extra space in his garage, portable storage is an easier way to do it. Most people have used self-storage before and it can be tempting to just go with what you know. But once you understand portable storage and how much easier it is than self-storage, you'll be ready to give it a try. Portable storage is easier, more convenient , less harmful to your belongings and sometimes even cheaper than self-storage. Portable storage is done with specially designed containers called PODS. These units are made of heavy-duty materials that stand up to bad weather. You can get these containers from any PODS company just by calling up and ordering a unit to be sent to your home. The company will drop the container off in your driveway, ready for you to load. The trucks use special lifting equipment that ensures the container will be put squarely in place without damaging your driveway. It's like having the self-storage unit brought to you and carefully set down in your driveway, instead of driving to the self-storage facility. Rather than loading up your car or truck, driving to the self storage place, then reloading your property into the storage unit, you don't have to go anywhere. You just call for a PODS unit, load it up with your things, close it and lock it. Then you give PODS a call and ask them to pick the container up. They will use a the special lift system on the PODS truck to pick up the unit without damaging anything inside. They then drive the container back to their secure, climate controlled storage center, where it will stay until you need to call it back. PODS also make a better storage environment for your property, especially if you are storing long-term. Self-storage units have no climate controls, so they are exposed to extreme cold, heat, dryness and humidity. This is no place for your priceless antiques. You are much better off with a PODS unit. You can also rent storage containers long-term and drive to the facility to access your belongings. All you have to do is call PODS customer service and get an appointment, usually within a day or two. Access is usually open six days a week, depending on the particular storage center. When you store your things this way, it's no big deal to go get your seasonal gear when you need it. You don't need to brave the elements digging through a self-storage unit because everything is inside. You just schedule a visit, get your stuff and you're done. ...read more

Most people are familiar with the old self-storage routine. Twice a year, they run out to the self-storage place, suffer the cold and rain, while switching out winter gear for summer equipment. They then load everything up, haul it all home and unload again. When it comes to seasonal or long-term storage, PODS containers are a much better solution. Here's why. Less Loading and Unloading When you use a PODS container for storage, you don't have to pack all your things into a car and haul them to another location. Instead, PODS are delivered to you, right in your driveway. You can then load the container, which sits on ground level. This is much easier than hefting equipment over the side of your pickup truck or into the truck of your car. You might need to make several trips to get everything you need stored to the self-storage unit. With PODS, you don't even need to make one trip. Protection From the Elements Self-storage units do protect from the rain and snow, but they do nothing to protect your gear from extreme heat or cold, humidity or excessive dryness. Plastic, rubber and other materials can deteriorate from excessive temperature changes. Papers and books can wrinkle and grow mold from too much humidity. Self-storage units have no climate controls to protect your things. But a PODS storage facility is climate controlled and secure, ensuring your property remains in a comfortable, non-damaging environment, just like the one that exists at your home. Less Hassle Ever try to call a self-storage facility with questions about your property or their bill? If you are lucky enough to get someone in the office, this person is rarely trained in how to treat customers or resolve problems. With PODS, you'll get a toll free number to call with a friendly customer service representative who understands your storage concerns. You'll be treated with dignity and respect, getting quick solutions to any problems that may arise. Cheaper and Easier Prices for self-storage versus PODS are roughly the same in rural areas, but using PODS is still much easier. Rural residents often must travel almost an hour just to get to a self-storage facility. Letting PODS do the moving makes life a lot easier, saving rural residents a lot of time and energy. For city dwellers, PODS is both cheaper and easier. The units fit in a parking space, so you can easily find a place to have yours delivered. After you load up the container, your property is moved to a secure storage location where you can always access your things. You won't be stuck paying the high self-storage rates that run in metropolitan areas, and it's a much more convenient way to store your things than self-storage. If you've been using self-storage because that's all you know, you owe it to yourself to try PODS for storage instead. It makes loading and moving your property easier and can save you a good chunk of change on your storage costs. ...read more
