Storage Tips

Store items you'll need most often at the front of your unit.

When you pack your storage unit create an aisle for access to all items.

Do not place boxes directly on the floor, but use pallets or skids to allow air flow around and under items.

If you're storing tables and other furniture, remove legs and store tabletops and sofas on end, to save space.

Drain gasoline and oil from lawn mowers and other items with small engines.

Use trash cans to store shovels, hoes and racks.

Pack blankets, draperies, and dress clothes on the hanger in a wardrobe box.

Always use high quality locks on unit.

Pack as much as you can in the same size boxes.

Pack heavy items such as books and tools in small boxes.

Wrap furniture legs with protective bubble wrap, furniture covers or pads to prevent scratching.

Label boxes on all sides for easy identification.

Use valuable space inside dresser drawers and larger appliances.

Use free standing shelves to help organize your unit.
