Long-term storage

Long-term self storage refers to the rental of a storage unit for an extended period, typically more than three months. This is done to keep business inventory or personal belongings secure, organised and easily accessible. It's also a popular solution for those needing extra space due to moving, renovations or simply when decluttering. 

Unlike short term self storage, which is convenient for transitional periods, long-term storage serves more lasting needs. For example, renters who are downsizing can affordably store bulky furnishings and appliances. 

It’s important to note that at storage facilities like Flexistock Self Storage, there’s no need to choose between a “short-term” or “long-term” lease — everything is rented on a flexible month-to-month basis. That means you can adjust your storage timeline as your needs change, without worrying about penalties or getting locked into a long contract.

Why do you need long-term storage?

While you can certainly hide your items in your basement or attic, self-storage units are ideal for long-term use. If you find yourself in one of the following scenarios listed below, call us now at 080030027 and let's discuss your options at Flexistock. Long-term self storage might be just what you are looking for. You can also contact us online and we will get back to you. 

Manage your belongings when downsizing

Downsizing can be a challenging process, especially when it means you have to part with cherished household items or belongings. Long-term storage offers a middle ground, allowing you to keep items you’re not ready to part with while adapting to a smaller living space. 

Planning for retirement

Retiring looks different for everyone, but it may involve downsizing your home, traveling more frequently or moving to a different city, state or country altogether. A storage unit can be a great place to keep all the belongings you still want to keep but don’t need to keep with you 24/7. 

Storing small business inventory

If you’re a small business owner, you may need long-term storage for your inventory, especially if you operate out of your home. Storage units are the perfect place to keep additional products, promotional materials and other goods, without having to rent additional business space. Plus, the flexible contracts at Flexistock allow you to adapt to any seasonal storage changes. 

Managing an estate

When handling a loved one’s estate, you may need time to sort through belongings, decide what to keep, or coordinate with family members. Long-term storage offers a respectful and secure place to keep these items until permanent decisions can be made, without pressure or clutter at home. 

Home renovation storage

During an extended home remodel, it’s often necessary to move furniture, artwork and other personal items out of the way. A long-term storage unit keeps these belongings protected from dust, damage and chaos, while giving contractors the space they need to work efficiently. If any unforeseen circumstance arises, you can easily extend your lease without any additional costs.  

Long-term travel

Whether you’re traveling for business or pleasure, placing your items in a storage unit long-term can keep them in a secure location during extended trips.  

Academic fellowships

Academic and research fellowships often require you to relocate for several months to a year. During this period, long-term storage ensures that any belongings you won’t be taking with you are kept in a clean and safe location until you return.

4 tips for long-term self storage

Packing and organising for long-term storage requires a more strategic approach than short-term storage, especially if you aren’t going to be checking on your items for several months or longer. Here are some tips to keep your belongings in good condition while they’re in self storage: 

  1. Choose the right size: Accurately assess your storage needs to avoid paying for unused space or needing to upgrade later. Use our space calculator on our home page to see our unit options. 

  1. Proper packing: Use sturdy boxes, wrap fragile items and consider using desiccant packs to prevent moisture damage.  

  1. Organise effectively: Create a system for labelling boxes and creating a walking path within the unit for easy access.  

  1. Inventory: Keep a detailed inventory of your stored items to easily locate them when needed.
