W
hether you are a homeowner or a
tenant, storage can become an issue
that is difficult to address, especially
when it is time to clean
up the yard, put away
all those gardening
tools, take down
summer décor, find a
place for the garden
hose and the flower
baskets, and store
away the kids outdoor
toys.
For some, the easiest
solution could be a
corner of the basement
or a spot in the garage,
but if you don’t have
a basement or garage,
what do you do?
There are several
options, depending on
what kind of space you
do have available in
your backyard, and of
course, how much you
have to store.
If you are a renter,
don’t rule out a
storage building.
These buildings can
be purchased ready
made on skids that
make them moveable.
The term skid simply means that there are cross
bars under the floor that made it possible for the
building to be moved without a great deal of labor
involved. If you have a large back yard and a
cooperative landlord, this could be your answer.
These buildings are
available in a variety
of sizes and styles so
you have the option
to pick and choose
exactly what will fit
your needs. Fitting
them into the budget
may be another issue,
but before you rule them
out completely, do some
shopping.
If having a storage
building of your own is
not going to work out,
another option could
be a rental space at a
storage facility. Spaces
are available in a variety
of sizes from something
large enough to hold a
house full of furniture to
something as small as a
walk-in closet.
If this is something you
think could work for
you, there are a few
considerations before
you sign the contract.
Some may think at first
that renting a storage unit could be a budget
Now that you have it,
where do you store it?
