StorPod
American humorist, Mark Twain famously wrote “buy land – they’re not making any more of it.” That was in the late 1800’s.
We know what the last 150 years have done to land pressures, changes in society and the world as a whole.
We now have more stuff and less space than ever before. Changes of clothing and sports equipment for different seasons. Suitcases for travel. Old school textbooks that we just can’t part with. Changes - whether redoing the front room, or moving across the ocean – disrupt our possessions and usually require us to put them someplace other than usual permanent locations.
The economy is imposing its own pressures too. Thousands of businesses and families around have already down-sized to premises more within their means. But where do they have space for all of their stuff? How long will they be without access to these things? Will they have enough space? Will it be sheltered against the weather and secure?
The self-storage (also called mini-storage) industry is now over 50 years old and has helped address some of the space issues that we face. It’s booming in the US, Canada, Australia and the UK. The concept of keeping one’s possessions at someone else’s place is well established and widely accepted.
StorPod is more than just a storage directory. It uniquely matches people and businesses that want to store their excess items with facilities that have idle space that can be hired at the optimum location and price. You might find an established self-storage facility, or a private citizen up the road who wants to put some extra space to good use.
As a tenant you can register on StorPod free of charge, conduct an unlimited number of searches and make contact with any landlord that has the right space for you.
We just provide that elusive introduction – you can negotiate rates, start and end dates and other attributes directly with the property owner!
