Various storage options
One prefers to have the possessions they love around them – from egg cups to wall shelves. Nevertheless, life situations can arise in which it is important to store household items safely and carefully. And then what?

Maybe the apartment has to be vacated because the lease expires, but the new one unfortunately only starts two months later. You can find accommodation yourself, that’s taken care of, but Aunt Martha would cause quite a riot if you brought all the furnishings to her place. Storing furniture can quickly become a real problem here.
Or the academic year in Australia. A great adventure and an important experience for life – but what happens to the property in the meantime? Where should you store your household effects? Sell everything and start again from scratch when you return? Doesn’t sound tempting.
The time may finally have come to embark on that two-year trip around the world you’ve dreamed of since you were a child. Everything is perfectly organized, but what happens to your belongings in the meantime? How should you store your furniture? Just keep paying the rent for that? There are cheaper alternatives out there.
You don’t have to dream of the big, wide world to suddenly find yourself in the situation of having to outsource your belongings. A simple burst water pipe is enough and the catastrophe is complete. Now it’s time to store your furniture and save your property as quickly as possible. Or a total renovation of the apartment is pending. In this case, too, the motto is: get rid of the household goods so that the work can start. And finally: reaching your financial limits can happen to anyone. Until the bottleneck is bridged, solutions for the temporary storage of household goods are required – and they also have to be affordable.
In a word – there are many reasons for storing one’s property. The question is how?
There are a number of alternatives. The first thought is usually towards parents or other relatives. This often leads to conflicts, especially when those addressed hardly have enough space themselves. And then also store other household goods? But even if they agree to do so, more or less happily, the result is often unsatisfactory. The valuable equipment often ends up in the dark and moldy basement or the damp garage and rots away there.
Perhaps a friend or colleague will be willing to store their belongings in a temporarily unused room. That seems to be the ideal solution at the beginning – until the day comes when he claims the room again, but the new apartment is not yet moveable. Such situations were more than once the reason for the breakup of long-standing friendships. And besides, from that moment on, you owe something to the merciful helper. One becomes painfully aware of this when one day someone stands in front of the door with their own household goods and asks for accommodation.
You could also try to make the new landlord responsible by asking him to store the household effects somewhere in the house until the start of the lease. He’s not going to be very enthusiastic about this – and even if he cooperates, there’s a good chance things will end up in a dark, damp, or moldy place.
Those who are particularly adventurous could rent a container and park it somewhere to store their own household goods in it. Apart from the effects of the weather on the non-insulated container, this has its own entertainment value. Whether the contents are still there the next day or whether they have been carefully removed by burglars can be determined on an exciting daily tour of discovery.
Finally, there is renting a small warehouse, office or private space. The conditions of accommodation are usually satisfactory in this case, but you usually chain yourself to a long-term rental contract that you can’t get rid of so quickly, even if you no longer need the premises. Storing furniture with this arrangement can quickly develop into a full-blown cost trap.
For some time now there has been an ideal solution to the problem of temporary storage: the self-storage warehouse. Here all the advantages come together and at the same time all the disadvantages are avoided:
- In a self-storage facility, you rent your ideal storage space in exactly the size you need. There are storage boxes between 1 and 50 square meters.
- The tenant has sole access rights. Nobody else gets a key.
- The storage room is above ground in a storage building.
- The storage room is bright, dry and clean. Your own belongings are stored under optimal conditions.
- The storage room can be canceled on a monthly basis. This means that you always remain flexible, which is particularly important if the new apartment cannot be moved into at the expected time. And even if, after canceling the storage box, it turns out that the apartment will not be handed over on time after all, there is no reason to panic. We at Meinlager AG extend the contract – simply and unbureaucratically.
- Transparent pricing is the top priority at Meinlager AG. Only the monthly rent is charged. There are no additional costs or hidden fees. A deposit is also not charged.
- Good accessibility is what counts. Our company is located in the heart of the Rüthi industrial area, just 2 minutes from the Oberriet / Rüthi motorway exit.
- You will always find a personal contact in our self-storage facility. With us you are not talking to computers, but to people who care about your satisfaction.
- Discretion is a matter of honor. We treat our customers’ data with absolute confidentiality. What is stored by us is no outsider’s business. In the interests of the safety of all customers, however, we ask our new tenants to identify themselves.
- Safety is the top priority. The entire facility at Meinlager AG, including the area around the building, is under video surveillance and has an alarm system. In addition to the lockability of the individual storage boxes, the main entrance is also protected by a security door with an access code. Your property is as safe with us as it is in Abraham’s lap.
By the way: A self-storage warehouse is not only suitable for furnishing your home. It is also the ideal place to house archived files. Valuable collections also find a safe, temporary home here.
