🧨 Self Storage Myths... Busted

MYTH 1: “It’s just for hoarders.”
BUSTED:
Well, unless you count Christmas decorations, old school reports, and that exercise bike nobody uses. Self storage is for people who want a bit more breathing room.

MYTH 2: “I’ll forget what’s in there.”
BUSTED:
Possibly, if you lob everything in blindfolded. Label your boxes, take photos, or make a quick inventory list. Out of sight, but never out of mind.

MYTH 3: “It’s dark, dingy and cold.”
BUSTED:
You’re thinking of your gran’s attic. Ours is clean, bright, and not haunted — as far as we know. 24/7 access, modern units, and actual lighting.

MYTH 4: “It’s only for people moving house.”
BUSTED:
Sure, it’s great when you’re moving — but it’s also a lifesaver when your hobby takes over the living room or your business stock starts crowding your hallway.

MYTH 5: “It’ll cost a fortune.”
BUSTED:
Not unless you’re storing a grand piano in every unit. Our rates are affordable, our contracts are rolling, and you only pay for what you need.

Self storage shouldn’t be complicated, expensive, or full of spiders. At Masons Self Storage, it’s none of those things. Just simple, secure space — whenever you need it. 👏
