If you've ever found yourself in need of a little extra space (and who hasn’t?), you've probably considered renting a storage unit. But wait—before you dive in, let’s tackle some common myths that float around about storage units. At Knappa Storage, we want you to make informed decisions, not buy into urban legends. So, let’s debunk a few of these myths with a dash of wit and a sprinkle of truth.
Picture this: a dusty old storage unit crammed to the brim with everything from rusty bikes to antique furniture. Sounds like a hoarder’s paradise, right? Wrong. While it’s true that storage units can help those of us with a bit of a “collecting” habit, they’re also perfect for anyone who needs to store seasonal items, business inventory, or even just wants to declutter their home. Whether you’re downsizing, moving, or just need some extra space, a storage unit can be a practical solution, not a sign of a problem.
We get it. The idea of leaving your precious belongings in a storage unit can make you a bit nervous. But here’s the deal: modern storage facilities like Knappa Storage are more secure than Fort Knox (well, almost). With features like 24/7 video surveillance, and electronic gate access, your stuff is in good hands. We even have climate-controlled units to protect sensitive items from the whims of Oregon’s weather.
This one might just be the most persistent myth of all. Sure, renting a storage unit is an additional expense, but it’s often more affordable than you think. At Knappa Storage, we offer a range of unit sizes to fit different budgets. Plus, when you consider the cost of upsizing your living space or the value of keeping your business inventory safe and organized, a storage unit can actually save you money in the long run.
Many people think storage units are only worth it if you need them for months or years. But what about those times when you just need a little extra space for a short period? Maybe you’re renovating your home, going on an extended trip, or your in-laws are visiting and you need to temporarily hide all evidence of your quirky hobbies. Whatever the reason, short-term rentals are totally a thing, and we’re here for it.
