There are a number of after apartment amenities that are highly sought after renters, but only a select few that are equally as beneficial for property owners as well. Offering on-site storage solutions for your tenants gives them the convenience of storing their extra belongings in a secure place that is easily accessible, and gives property owners a bonus monthly income from the storage rental fees. When looking into adding storage to your property, it’s important to consider the value and security of the storage bins before installing them. Not all styles of storage bins are created equal, and some options that may seem like the most cost-effective, such as wire mesh, can actually do the opposite of adding value and security to your property.
Why Wire Mesh is not the Best Option
If the goal of offering storage for renters is to add value and security to your property, wire mesh is not the way to get there. Wire mesh storage offers very little protection from the surrounding elements, including dirt, debris, insects, and even wandering eyes of thieves looking for an easy come up. Wire mesh offers very little security, privacy, or safety for renters, therefore it does not add value or security to your property. Renters offered wire mesh storage are less likely to pay the rental fees to use it because of the lack of privacy and safety and tend to prefer storage options that provide a secure space for their belongings. Wire mesh also tends to look messy and unkempt due to the lack of coverage, any and all belongings inside of the storage bins are on full display for any passer, and can make the overall appearance of your property look messy and less attractive.

Storage Adds Value When it is Valuable
Not all storage options are created equally, and some options are undoubtedly better than others. Wire mesh storage may seem to be the most cost-effective option, but they are not safe or secure for tenants and they are unlikely to trust them or want to use them. When looking to add storage to your property, quality, and security matter.
