Overview/about self-storage.
As of recent years, self-storage in the container industry has become increasingly popular,
with container storage being a secure and easy way to store all types of goods and
belongings.
Today in the UK, there are over 700 self-storage sites, demonstrating the immense popularity
of this form of storage. It can be seen that from 2018 to 2022 there was an increased
amount of people who used self-storage in the UK from 1.29% to 2.28%. Additionally, in the
UK there is around 50 million square feet of self-storage space, including indoor self-
storage. This shows that the industry is currently booming with popularity.

Many people with space to spare are investing in self storage containers. They can then be
offered to customers for all their storage needs, whether they be moving house or storing
additional stock for their businesses.
The biggest advantage of containerised self-storage sites is that your storage unit has drive-
up accessibility – you can offload from the back of your vehicle directly into the storage unit.
Shipping containers offer an ideal secure, well-ventilated and easily accessible storage
solution. This is a major advantage over indoor self-storage units.
