Storage Tips
Make the most of your storage space and keep your belongings safe with these helpful tips and best practices.
Packaging & Storing
- Clearly label the outside of every box or bin with its contents.
- Use uniform-sized containers whenever possible — they’re easier to stack and organize.
- Don’t overload boxes or tubs to prevent crushing or breakage.
- Wrap fragile items with packing materials like bubble wrap or paper.
- Cover furniture and larger items with blankets or padding to prevent scratches or dings.
Organizing Your Unit
- Before moving in, choose the correct unit size for your needs.
- Leave a walkway through the center so you can easily access items in the back.
- Place heavier boxes or furniture on the bottom when stacking.
- Consider using shelving to keep things off the ground and maximize vertical space.
- Use pallets or boards to create an airspace between the floor and your belongings — great for airflow and moisture prevention.
Safety & Maintenance
- Drain all fuel from gas-powered equipment before storing.
- Make sure all items are clean and dry before placing them in storage to prevent mold and odors.
