Your furniture storage in Lyon

Lyon is the 3rd largest city in France in terms of population density, which necessarily leads to significant pressure on the real estate market and consequently a reduction in free space in favor of living space.

This is why today a good number of storage units and other storage spaces are flourishing on the outskirts of Lyon.

The storage unit is a storage space that allows you to optimally store a large volume of furniture and personal belongings. It has similar characteristics to self-storage units but has the particularity of not always giving access to its customers due to a storage configuration in wooden boxes stacked within a shed. The access to the goods is thus generally dedicated to the professionals of storage because of the necessary handling.

How to choose between the different storage solutions in Lyon?

Self-storage

This is the leading solution in Lyon. It allows you to store a large number of goods with volumes up to 40M². The disadvantage is that you have to take care of everything: transportation, equipment rental, handling, organization of the storage box, packaging of goods...

The furniture storage

Storing your belongings in a storage unit is a good solution for removals and short term storage, although it can also be suitable for long term storage. Here you will rarely have direct access to your belongings and they will have to be retrieved on demand and you will have to take care of all the handling aspect.
