Packing and Storage Tips

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.
