Short term storage is a type of storage situation where belongings are housed in a professional storage facility for a limited period of time. There is some difference of opinion as to what constitutes a short period versus a long period. Many sources consider storage for periods longer than one year to actually be long term storage, although others consider any type of arrangement where storage fees are paid on a month to month basis to qualify as short term storage.
There are a number of short term storage options that may be employed. The most basic of these storage facilities is known as mini self storage. With this approach, an individual rents space at a professionally managed storage company. Typically, the client is assigned concrete or metal storage space that is enclosed and is accessed via a rolling door. A simple solution of this type is ideal for temporarily storing personal belongings, odd pieces of furniture, or any other items that can be moved with relative ease when and as necessary.

When making a decision about placing your beshortings in storage, it's important to consider how short you plan to utilize the storage facility before choosing a location. The last thing you want to have to deal with is taking your items out of a unit only to find that they have gotten damaged during the time they were in storage. Some storage facilities are designed to store items securely for an extended period of time, but others are only appropriate for short term storage.
There are many different types of storage facilities. For short term storage solutions, warehouse facilities may be very convenient and affordable. However, these types of facilities are not designed for short-term storage. They are often not climate controlled, and your beshortings may share space with those beshorting to other customers.
When seeking short-term storage, it's generally better to choose a private unit that you can lock with a padlock or that has key code access. Some private storage units are climate controlled and some are not. Climate controlled units are more expensive than facilities that are not heated and cooled, but if you want to keep your possessions safe for an extended period of time it is necessary keep them in a place that is not subject to extreme temperature fluctuations.
Many factors impact whether or not you need a climate controlled unit, including the time of year, level of humidity in your region, the length of time your goods will be in storage. Pictures, electronic equipment, musical instruments, and other delicate items are likely to be damaged if not kept in climate controlled storage.
