Self-Storage Units for Home Storage and MovingIf you’re like many others who simply just have too much stuff, then you may want to consider getting yourself a storage unit. Self-storage units are great for storing away unwanted or unused household items. They’re also a great solution for families or individuals that are moving and need a temporary place to store their things. Moving is already a stressful event due to the disturbances in your daily life and the hassle of packing. Fortunately, a self-storage unit makes moving easy.
Businesses can also benefit from storage facilities in many situations. Self-storage units provide a convenient and affordable solution for unused items that you’re not able to part with yet. Most companies utilize storage services for archived paperwork that legally can’t be thrown away for some time and for storage of stock overflow.

If you’re considering renting a self storage unit, then you likely have too many items in your home or office than you have room for. This also means that the items that are cluttering your space are probably important to you in one way or another if you plan on keeping it. Not all Reno self storage facilities are the same, and picking the right one is crucial for the safekeeping of your special belongings. Check out the six things to consider when choosing a self storage facility that’s right for you.
Quality self storage facilities don’t all cost an arm and a leg. A good storage facility will provide quality service, security for your belongings, and will be affordable. Ample Storage offers the most affordable storage units in Reno and works with you to match your needs exactly with the right unit. Larger unit sizes cost more per month and there’s no reason you should pay for additional storage space that you don’t plan on using. And we don’t lock any of our customers into a contract, so you only have to pay for the months in which you need the unit.
If you’re going to leave your important items somewhere else, you want to know that they’ll be kept in good condition. If you’re storing your items in dirty or smelly units, your things are likely going to come out dirty and smelly too. Cleanliness is highly important to our customers and to us which is why we work so hard to maintain a clean and fresh storage environment.
How frustrating is it to realize you need something last minute but aren’t able to access it because it’s in a storage facility with limited hours of operation? A good storage facility will allow easy entry to your unit with longer hours of accessibility. Some facilities are only open during daytime hours and some are closed on Sundays which can leave you waiting to get to your belongings for hours or sometimes days longer than you wanted. Instead, find a self storage facility that’s open longer, some even stay open 24 hours a day, 7 days a week!
If you’re using a self storage unit to keep your belongings safe, then you want to make sure the security at the facility is top-notch. Because we know how important your things are to you, we’ve equipped our self storage facility with numerous security features in a well-lit facility. Along with this, we also keep staff onsite to ensure that possessions remain safe and secure in all storage units, 24 hours a day. Keeping your items safe and secure while in our care is our biggest priority.
Your self storage facility should also be convenient and designed for efficiency. For example, a storage facility with drive-up access makes loading and unloading items much easier and more convenient for customers. Another feature you could offer to enhance your facility’s convenience is online account management which allows customers to pay their bill online. And a storage facility that also offers vehicle, boat, and RV storage can be more convenient for customers who want to store these items along with smaller items as well.
If you have sensitive items such as wood furniture, jewelry, or digital devices, then you’ll likely want to store them in a climate-controlled unit. These types of storage units help block out moisture and extreme temperatures which can be damaging to certain items. This will ensure your belongings remain in good condition and are unharmed during their brief or long stay in storage.
Like most people, you probably have more stuff than you have space for. Whether you need a storage unit for personal storage, business storage, long or short term storage, or vehicle storage, Ample Storage in Reno is there for you. We offer a variety of storage sizes from 5x5 to 20x20 and work hard to keep our units affordable and completely secure. Connect with us today to see which storage unit size will best meet your needs!

The A&E reality television series, Storage Wars, debuted in December of 2010. Since then the show’s gain in popularity has influenced the creation of multiple spin-off series. This popularity has also created a rise in the interest of auction “hunters” in real storage auctions. So, we thought you might like the nitty-gritty lowdown on: how real storage auctions are.
Even if you don’t watch the series, there is still a good chance that you have heard of the show. Possibly because of the numerous lawsuits that have surrounded its short 3 year lifespan. These suits range from authenticity to salary disputes and have caused grief for much of their fan base and the “reality tv” sector as a whole.
In the Storage Wars series, each episode will showcase multiple storage units being auctioned at one location. This in itself is not accurate.
In reality, the frequency of people abandoning their unit with all of its contents is not high. This frequency diminishes even more so when people have valuable things within their storage unit.
Which brings us to our next point... there may be treasures that turn up in abandoned units but unfortunately, not as often as we would like. Storage Wars has a pretty consistent 2 out of 3 ratios that they work with. Most episodes showcase two units that are winners and one that is a dud. Generally only one BIG winner, but nonetheless the auction hunters who get these units walk away profitable or at least breaking even.
One piece of very valid information that every prospect hunter should know, and that Storage Wars either misrepresents or skips over completely... sunk costs.
Think about this, when a storage unit is auctioned off you are buying everything in it, whether gold or garbage, and becoming responsible for removing all said content.
To ensure the removal of all content many storage facilities charge a clean-up deposit.
Then you have to be able to remove everything so, do you have a truck? If not you’ll need to rent one.
On top of that, garbage dumps will often charge fees to dump.
Finally, unlike the auction hunters on TV most of us don’t own pawn shops, vintage stores, or have 50 friends who happen to “experts” on dating priceless nic-nacs, so you will need to be having to pay a percentage fee to put whatever you do find in someone elses store.
One thing that the television series has dead on is that when there is an auction, bidders are not allowed to enter the unit. This helps keep the auction moving at a fast pace and eliminates the risk of something being removed before it has been auctioned.
Auctions are always a LAST resort...
Although this type of auction has become popular, we'd like to emphasize we don't jump to auctioning a unit’s contents. The process of trying to contact a client is very long and very thorough. We will exhaust every option for contacting a client, including emergency contacts, before we consider putting the unit on auction. Even after the unit is set to be auctioned, if at anytime we receive contact from the client the auction process will be stopped.
Group auctions aren’t always how facilities get rid of a unit’s contents either. Some laws forbid this type auction so, the unit will be auctioned off one piece at a time.
Despite the reality check, storage auctions are real. They very well could be the new, landlocked, non-violent and completely legal equivalent of being a pirate... which is awesome.
