The title of this article, storage facilities cost vs security analysis, may seem a bit complicated and confusing, but it is really quite simple: how much protection are you receiving for the price you are paying for that protection?
We are Blue Mound 287 Self Storage, serving the Greater North Fort Worth/Alliance Area with outstanding and secure self storage. Call us at 817-439-1380 for information about current pricing and availability of our storage units.
Now, let’s talk money.
What is storage facilities cost?
This is probably the hardest question to answer in an article like this one because the storage facilities cost differs from city to city AND even from company to company within a city.
In addition, prices increase as the size of the storage units increase in size. A 10’x10’ storage unit will cost less than a 10’x30’ unit.
And, to muddy the waters a bit more, you will pay more for amenities like electricity within the unit or for climate control self storage.
We have seen small self-storage units rent for $50 per month, and we have seen them rent for as much as $150 per month. It truly fluctuates that much depending upon the factors we mentioned earlier in this article.
How much security are you receiving for that price?
This is truly the most important question. How safe are your possessions in a self-storage facility. We know of such companies which do not even have outside fencing, places where thieves could literally walk up to a storage unit with a crowbar and pry the door open. And we have seen secure facilities, like our own Blue Mound, which has all four level of security i.e. fenced perimeter, video surveillance, on-site management, and computerized access cards, where thieves have no prayer of breaking through the security system.
Does extra security cost extra? In most cases, yes, but not nearly as much as you might think. Taking our own self storage company as an example, our smallest storage unit, a 5’x5’, rents for $45 per month. That price is very close to the lowest price in Fort Worth, making it a great value because our security is so good.
Desire vs practicality.
This, then, is the question which will dictate your choice of storage units. How important is cost to you, and how much security can you find within your budget? How important are your possessions to you? How much would it hurt if those possessions were stolen or damaged?
We can’t answer that question for you, but it is a question you must answer. The threat of damage or theft is a real one, so spend some time researching your options with an eye on cost vs security.
