Packing and Storage Tips

Use the information below to determine the best way to pack and store your items.

Tips for Loading Your Space

Rent the smallest amount of space you need and pack the space until full.
A box for everything and everything in a box, is the best protection of your goods. Use uniform sizes of boxes and stack them shoulder high to maximize your total storage space.
Prepare your unit by placing plastic on the floor under your goods. Be sure the plastic laps up over the walls a few inches on every side.
Leave a small air space between the goods stored and the storage unit walls.
Store lightweight small items around the back of the storage unit. Move large, heavy items into storage last.
Do not place heavy or sharp objects on top of upholstered furniture.
Protect your mattresses, sofas, and chairs with plastic covers.
Cover the entire load with a light plastic cover.
Use a good quality lock on your storage unit door. Cheap locks rust.
Insure your goods while in storage. Ask the office about our insurance options.
Keep a list of all items in storage as well as pictures, and descriptions.
