Today’s blog is about storing goods in shipping containers.
On the weekend my husband and I had shipping container delivered to our farm to store unused furniture etc… to de-clutter our farm house.
Once the container was delivered my husband began making a roof over the container. I was baffled!
Why would we need to put a roof over the container made of steel? He said metal containers are not designed for long term storage! They designed for long haul shipping. When the container is closed its airtight. Temperatures rise rapidly inside. Goods stored in the container that are exposed to these temperature fluctuations will most likely be damaged, was the reply.
Did you know that most household and personal items that you store will contain moisture ie; linen, towels, clothes, shoes and furniture.
Matresses, for example, contain several litres of fluid absorbed from the bodies that slept on it, horrid thought I know!!
Even the air trapped inside a metal container contains water!!
Temperature fluctuations cause condensation that eventually drips onto the goods inside.
We decided on a storage container as our farm is a long way out of town. Putting a roofing cover over the top is the only way to be certain that our goods are not damaged by constant exposure to weather. When considering what type of storage is best for you, I think it is very important to consider the ramifications of temperature. Self storage facilities are built specifically to store household goods in an environment that is not detrimental to the longevity of our goods.
There are many different types of storage facilities and units to select from. Discuss your needs with a reputable company; they will be able to advise you of the best option for your needs. Make sure you consider all your needs and remember to always insure you belongings
