10 reasons why you should replace your storage rental with a backyard building

In America, many struggle with the same problem which can be both an annoyance and a blessing - we have a lot of stuff! Despite one's aspirations to embrace a lifestyle of minimalism and generosity, the reality remains that we all accumulate possessions that require storage from time to time. While we all need to a designated space to store our tools, decorations, and sentimental belongings, it's important to acknowledge that not all storage options are created equal.

Here are 10 reasons why you should replace your monthly storage rental with a backyard building:

  1. Cost Savings: The simplest and most obvious reason is that a shed, cabin, barn, or garage save you money over the long term. With a monthly storage rental, you are at the mercy of the company for constant cost increases.

  2. Convenience: What good is storing our belongings if we don’t have easy access to them. A storage building installed on your property allows the convenience to use or add items to storage at any time.

  3. Resale Value: While a monthly storage rental results in money disappearing from your bank account every month, the money you put towards a portable building not only increases your property value, but may also give the edge you need to attract more competitive offers when you list your home on the market.

  4. Versatility: Choose a cabin, barn, shed, or portable garage to conform to your needs, not the other way around. Use your building to store items, add an extra living space, use as a workshop, or whatever else you want - it’s all yours!

  5. Security: Self-storage companies are often the target of theft and burglary. In addition to the security of your items, many feel unsafe when accessing their storage units as these facilities are typically located in less desirable areas in order to minimize land acquisition costs for the storage company. Alternatively, a local storage shed combines the safety of your neighborhood with high quality structural integrity which can easily be secured by lock and key.

  6. No hidden fees: Never wonder if you’re going to get hit with a hidden fee or a cost you’re not prepared for with your own backyard building.

  7. Aesthetic appeal: By carefully selecting a building to match your specific design tastes, you not only gain a convenient storage unit, but also improve the overall look and feel of your landscape.

  8. No sharing: With a backyard building, you won’t have to compromise privacy or convenience.

  9. Better organization: A custom storage building provides you with the ability to organize your belongings exactly how you want, rather than trying to fit everything into a pre-determined storage unit space.

  10. Peace of mind: Sleep better at night knowing where your belongingss are stored and who has access to them. You made the right decision with a portable building!
