Why Containers Beat Indoor Storage
Why Container Storage at Stow & Go in Lincoln Beats Indoor Storage
Are you searching for a storage solution in Lincoln that’s secure, convenient, and affordable? At Stow & Go Self Storage, our outdoor container units provide many advantages over traditional indoor storage. Let’s explore why container storage might be the smarter choice for your needs.
Cost Savings
One of the biggest advantages of container storage is price. Because container units don’t require the overheads of indoor buildings—like lighting, heating, and lifts—they’re generally cheaper to rent. At Stow & Go, we pass these savings directly on to our customers, with competitive rates and offers such as 50% off your first month.
Indoor storage is often more expensive due to higher maintenance costs and extra amenities you may not need.
Easy Access and Convenience
With container storage, you can drive right up to your unit. That means no navigating corridors, lifts, or carrying heavy items long distances. At Stow & Go, our containers are designed for quick loading and unloading, with ample parking on-site.
By contrast, indoor storage usually requires you to move belongings through shared entrances and down hallways, which can be time-consuming and frustrating.
Flexible Rental Terms
Container storage often offers greater flexibility. At Stow & Go, you can rent for as little or as long as you need, with no long-term contracts and the ability to switch unit sizes if your needs change.
Indoor facilities may also be flexible, but they often involve more formalities or minimum rental periods.
Strong Security
Security is a top priority at Stow & Go. Our container storage site is monitored by 24/7 CCTV and secured with controlled access. Each unit can also be locked individually, giving you peace of mind that your belongings are safe.
While indoor storage can also be secure, Stow & Go’s combination of site security and robust new containers ensures excellent protection for your possessions.
Weather Protection
Modern storage containers are built to be highly weather-resistant. At Stow & Go, our brand-new containers are clean, watertight, and designed to protect against the elements. For most household goods, business stock, or furniture, container storage offers all the protection you need—as long as items are packed properly.
Space for Bulky Items
Another advantage of container storage is size. Containers give you a generous cubic space that’s ideal for bulky furniture, tools, or even vehicles. At Stow & Go, we’ve recently expanded our Lincoln site to offer a wider choice of container sizes.
Indoor storage may provide more variety in small units, but larger or awkwardly shaped items can be harder to store indoors due to layout restrictions.
Access Hours and Location
At Stow & Go, our Lincoln facility is open daily from 7am to 8pm, with excellent transport links near Newark Road and the A46 bypass. This makes it easy to get in and out when you need to, without the hassle of restricted hours.
Indoor facilities often have shorter access times or require advance notice for entry.
