The key to your peace of mind.
*Start by gathering as many boxes that you think you will need, tape, markers and packing material (i.e. foam shipping noodles, bubble wrap, packing paper or towels).
*If Possible, try to use uniform size boxes for easy stacking.
*Keep your unit locked at all times.
* Plan your storage space. Place those items that you may need to access often in the front.
* Place your storage items on 2x4 boards or on pallets to guard against dampness. Any concrete floor may become cold and damp.
* Stack heavier boxes on the bottom and lighter boxes on the top
* Try to leave an aisle down the center of the storage unit for easier access. Leave a small space between the walls and boxes to allow for air circulation.
*Keep upholstered furniture up off the floor.
*Cover furniture with a dry soft cloth instead of plastic.
*If you are using plastic bags or covers to store items, leave a small hole in the plastic to help vent air. This prevents moisture from forming on the inside of the plastic as the temperature fluctuates from season to season.
*Use climate controlled or heated units when storing business records, antiques or artwork. (Our units are not climate controlled.)
*Visit your space regularly to help ensure that your items remain in good condition.
*If you are storing a vehicle or other equipment, "winterize" it. For example, change the fluids and remove the battery.
*Check your homeowners' or renters' insurance policy to make sure it covers "self-storage".
* Make up an inventory of your items and keep it in a safe place at home or in a safe deposit box.
* CAUTION! Do not store anything COMBUSTIBLE (i.e., Paint thinner, gasoline, solvents, paint, etc.)
