Self Storage for Businesses and Individuals – A Comprehensive Guide

Self storage is essentially a self-service storage facility that allows individuals to store their belongings in dedicated units with exclusive access. In response to the growing demand for storage and the lack of space, this service emerged in the United States in the 1960s and has gradually expanded to other continents. In Poland, this trend arrived relatively late, gaining traction only after 2010, starting in major cities like Warsaw and Krakow, and initially targeting companies in the construction and logistics sectors.

The popularization of the service in Poland, driven by housing needs, the growing e-commerce market, and increased mobility among Poles, has led to self storage locations appearing in many areas across the country. Today, self storage is a solution for everyone – from large and small companies to private customers who need additional basement or storage space.

The business sector was the initial driver of the self storage boom. Nowadays, both small entrepreneurs and large manufacturing, service, and e-commerce companies benefit from flexible warehouse spaces without needing to rent expensive halls or facilities.
In the case of trade and e-commerce, self storage is perfect for storing off-season goods and inventory, promotional materials, and catalogs. Businesses can quickly respond to spikes in orders without investing in new warehouse infrastructure, and easily give up the space when demand decreases. For service and contractor companies, self-storage units offer a place to store equipment, tools, and consumables.
Self storage is also an excellent logistics base for mobile companies, such as technicians and installers. Office-based companies can use it to store documents, including archives, unused equipment, or office furniture. Event and marketing agencies can store their tools, structures, and banners – it's also an ideal solution for seasonal campaigns.
Locations on the outskirts of cities are no accident either – they’re conveniently located for a quick stop to restock or exchange items. For production and industrial companies, these units serve as storage for semi-finished products and excess production.

Self-storage is also a great option for individuals looking for a cheap, secure, and flexible place to store items outside the home. Many newly built apartments do not come with storage lockers, prompting the need for external storage options. Tenants of studios or rented apartments, where the owner does not provide a basement, can store extra furniture or seasonal items like holiday decorations.
Flexible rental periods allow for temporary storage of furniture, electronics, or other household goods during renovations or relocations – for example, in case of a delayed move-in date or for students needing to store items over summer breaks. Seasonal hobbies also require storage between seasons – bikes, snowboards, skis, or sleds all need a place. Likewise, outdoor furniture or barbecues can be stored over the winter.
With our storage units, you can also simply declutter your home without permanently parting with your items.

To meet all expectations, self storage facilities offer a variety of unit sizes tailored to every need. Individual customers usually choose smaller units, like 3m² or 6m², which serve as an alternative to traditional storage lockers. Larger companies may opt for bigger units, such as 13m² – the size of a standard 20-foot container.
All units are weatherproof and dry, ensuring the safety of stored goods year-round, regardless of weather conditions.

Self-storage warehouses are an ideal solution in many respects. Renting is straightforward – just select the location and unit size, and set the start date. The client then signs a flexible rental agreement with a sales representative – for a month, three months, or even a year. Extensions are easy and hassle-free.
Each facility is monitored and has a secure, gated entrance accessible only to renters. During the day, a sales rep is available on-site to answer questions and show units. Clients have 24/7 access to their units, so there’s no need to worry about pick-up or drop-off times.

Self storage for both businesses and individuals is a great storage option tailored to specific needs. It offers flexible space at attractive prices, eliminating the need to search for costly warehouse halls. Clients choose the size and rental period themselves – no unnecessary formalities involved.
