STORAGE TIPS

Storage Tips for a Smooth & Stress-Free Experience


  • Choose the Right Unit Size Select a unit that fits your needs to avoid overpaying or running out of space. Smaller units work well for boxes and seasonal items, while larger units are ideal for furniture, business inventory, or full household storage.
  • Pack Efficiently & Label Everything Use sturdy boxes, bubble wrap, and protective materials to prevent damage. Clearly label each box and keep an inventory list so you can quickly locate items when needed.
  • Protect Fragile & Valuable Items Wrap glassware, electronics, and breakables carefully. Use mattress covers and furniture pads to keep larger items clean and protected during storage.
  • Maximize Space with Smart Organization Stack boxes vertically and place heavier items on the bottom. Leave a center aisle in your unit so you can easily access your belongings without unloading everything.
  • Take Advantage of Drive-Up Access Drive-up storage units make loading and unloading faster and easier, especially when moving heavy furniture or large boxes.
  • Use High-Quality Locks for Security Secure your unit with a durable lock, such as a disc lock, for added protection. Choose facilities that offer gated access and video surveillance for extra peace of mind.
  • Store Vehicles, Boats & RVs Properly Clean and prepare vehicles before storage. Cover exposed areas and select a secure, designated parking space for boats, trailers, or RVs.
  • Use On-Site Moving Supplies & Truck Rentals Save time by using available moving supplies and truck rentals. Having everything in one place simplifies your move and keeps the process efficient.
  • Plan Around Access Hours Choose a facility with convenient access hours so you can reach your belongings when you need them. Extended or electronic gate access adds flexibility.
  • Consider Storage Insurance Protect your stored items with tenant insurance for added security and peace of mind against unexpected events.
