What Are Your Options?

We have different storage solutions for our customers at Bingham Self Storage, short-term storage is normally accommodated within either a Container or a Crate.

Container Units

Our Container Units are a great place to start, with 150 square foot of storage space. The containers are insulated against the elements and are big enough to fit the furniture of an average three-bedroom house. People also use these containers for items like cars, props, and any other large and bulky items that you cannot feasibly store anywhere else. You can drive right up to the units for easy loading and unloading.

Crate Units

Our Crate Units are smaller and provide up to 45 square feet of storage space. Access to them is limited as they are stored within our warehouse. They are a good alternative if a container is too large. Customers have also used them if they are on extended trips abroad and have some items they have retained in the UK.

Bespoke Packages

We can, of course, offer a package that comprises both containers and crates should that be desirable to you. Contact us for more information about our bespoke storage solutions.

How To Pack For Short Term Storage

Short term storage, often only required for a few months, should be packed in a similar way to long term storage.  Many of our short term customers retain their items in storage for longer than they originally intended.  Therefore to ensure your possessions are safe both in transit and storage we have offered some ideas below:

  • Label boxes so you can easily identify what is in them.
  • Use strong boxes and do not overpack them.
  • Make a list of things you are storing so you know where your belongings are at all times.
  • Keep delicate items separately and wrap them securely
  • Put heavier items at the bottom and lighter items on top of them.
  • You should pack items you’ll want more immediately at the front so they are ready for collection. 

We have storage solutions to suit all needs
