Stop Throwing Away Money on That Storage Unit!

We’ve all been there — the garage is full, the closets are overflowing, and suddenly, paying for a storage unit feels like the only solution. But here’s the reality: storage units are a money pit in disguise. Month after month, you’re shelling out cash just to keep your belongings on someone else’s property. What if you could move that storage unit closer to your home? So close, in fact, that the monthly payment disappeared?

It’s time to stop outsourcing your storage. Your garage has more potential than you think.

Let’s Do the Math

The cost of renting even the smallest storage unit is around $50 per month – twice that in metropolitan areas.  That’s $600 per year for the privilege and inconvenience of storing your stuff miles away from your house. Compounding matters, as the months roll by, what started off as a temporary solution turns into the family albatross because you’ve resigned yourself to writing those checks every month. And before you know it, five years have passed and you’re out $3,000 (actually more because the rent always goes up).

For a fraction of that, Yosemite Shelving can stop those payments and bring your items home where they belong.

Garage Shelving = Instant ROI

Let’s face it, the reason you got that storage unit in the first place is because you didn’t have room at home…or at least thought you didn’t. So do this. Walk out to the middle of your garage and take a good look around. Look for those pockets of empty space —  two-feet wide, three-feet wide — sandwiched between your metal shelves and the window or between the refrigerator and the door. Now, look up. You may have nine or 10’ ceilings and yet your metal shelves are only seven feet tall…why? Why aren’t you storing stuff above freezers, doors, and windows? Around the ceiling alone is probably more than enough space to store all of the items stashed in that rental unit. But it doesn’t stop there. Why are your metal shelves only 24” deep? You’d be amazed at how much more stuff you can store with an extra two or three inches of depth. In short, why don’t your shelves match your  garage?  We’ll tell you why. Because they were designed and built in China for everyone…and, therefore, no one.

Why Modular Wins

If you haven’t figured it out, we hate generic. But we designed the Yosemite Bracket to do more than tap the potential of your garage, we also designed it for speed and change. Its open-back design means snap-in-place construction effortlessly creates square corners today. But next year, when that new rolling tool chest arrives, that same open-back design means you can easily remove that bottom shelf to make room. Other brackets can’t handle change — we were made for it!

Save Space, Money, and Sanity

Every time you write a check for your storage unit, you’re essentially buying something that you’ll never own. Build out your garage, however, and you’re investing in your home, your convenience, and your peace of mind. So, ask yourself, would you rather rent a metal box across town, or own a garage that works for you?
