First you need to know approximately how long you will be storing your goods. The reason for this is quit simply the environment. Second you need to think about what exactly you are storing. Certain items do not need climate control such as lawn equipment and tools. Thirdly it is preference. Some people may want nothing but climate controlled and some people don’t really have a preference either way.

Humidity is what effects the things you are storing. We keep our climate controlled units at a Knowing this changes the way you think about the question, Climate or Non-Climate?
