These spaces, or boxes, vary in size and can be used by individuals and businesses to store a variety of items. This solution is ideal for those who need additional temporary or long-term space without the constraints of a traditional lease.

3. Procrastinating on Booking: In peak demand periods, like summer or festive seasons, it's advisable to book in advance to ensure availability.
4. Ignoring Access Conditions: Always check access hours to ensure you can reach your belongings when needed, especially if you have irregular work hours.
5. Neglecting Security: Ensure the unit has adequate security systems, such as surveillance cameras and individual alarms.
