  • Security - Consider the security provided, such as surveillance cameras, security gates, and lighting.

Climate Considerations

Alabaster, Alabama has a mild climate, with average highs in the mid-80s in the summer months and average lows in the mid-40s in the winter. When considering a storage unit in Alabaster, there are both climate-controlled and non-climate-controlled options. Climate-controlled storage is beneficial for storing items that are sensitive to temperature fluctuations and humidity, such as electronics, musical instruments, wood furniture, and photographs.

Additionally, non-climate-controlled storage is usually a more cost-effective option.

To ensure a successful storage experience, it is important to take proper precautions regardless of which type of storage unit you select. Consider wrapping items in plastic and storing them in airtight containers for extra protection. It is also a good idea to regularly check on your items to ensure that they are safe and secure. With the proper care and precautions, your items will remain secure and undamaged.
