Our Expert Tips for Maximizing Your Self-Storage Unit
Smart Packing Strategies for Success
The key to efficient storage is how you pack. Always use uniform, sturdy boxes that can be stacked high to utilize vertical space fully. Label all sides clearly with contents, and keep an inventory list. By planning ahead, you ensure easy access and protect your valuables during their time with us, making your next visit simpler.
Utilizing Every Inch with Vertical Stacking
Stacking items carefully up to the ceiling is essential for maximizing capacity within your storage unit. Place the heaviest and most durable items on the bottom of stacks, and remember to leave a clear aisle. This smart arrangement makes retrieving boxes easier and utilizes every square inch of our storage space effectively and safely.
Prioritize Access and Strategic Placement
When loading the unit, place items you may need later, like seasonal decorations, at the back. Keep frequently accessed items, such as business inventory, near the front door. We recommend storing valuable documents in a secure, clearly marked box near the entrance. Good organization now will save you time later, guaranteed.
Protecting Sensitive Items from the Elements
For long-term or sensitive items, always consider our climate-controlled options. Additionally, never store perishable goods, and always cover furniture with protective sheets to guard against dust. This step is vital for peace of mind, especially for items stored over many months, ensuring they remain in the same condition you left them in.
