Anyone tried one of the "personal storage" warehouses, where you can
put belongings into storage?

* What's best to go for -- the more expensive personal storage firms
with custom-built warehouses and web sites or the cheaper local yellow
pages firm which offers storage?
* The actual containers or rooms you store stuff in -- how big are
they? Is it possible to cram stuff in to the roof and optimise the
available space?

* Costs -- how much for 8ft x 8ft container, for example?


I had storage for about 4 months on a month by month basis. I think it was
about 6ft x 10ft and about 11ft high. I packaged everything right up to the
ceiling and managed to get most of my stuff in (2 bed house). Just had a
step ladder as the last thing to go in so if I needed anything I would be
able to unpack from the top. I think it cost about £100 a month including
insurance as I couldn't find anywhere else that would provide insurance.
With out insurance it would of cost about £90.

* Preparation -- Does everything need bubble?

Depends who is packing or unpacking it.


Tips from anyone who has gone down this road are welcomed...

Make sure you fill wardrobes/drawers once in position.
