General Storage Tips:

1. Plan Your Space Efficiently
  • Sketch out your storage unit and pre-plan the placement of larger items and boxes to maximize space.
  • Group similar items together and label boxes for easy identification.
2. Use Shelving Units
  • Adding portable shelving can help you organize your storage vertically, creating more usable space and making it easier to access items.
3. Pack Smart
  • Use sturdy, uniform-sized boxes for easier stacking.
  • Place heavier boxes on the bottom and lighter ones on top.
  • Fill empty spaces within boxes with soft materials like towels or bubble wrap to prevent shifting.
4. Protect Your Belongings
  • Cover furniture and mattresses with protective coverings.
  • Store electronics and temperature-sensitive items in climate-controlled units to prevent damage from heat or humidity.
5. Keep an Aisle for Accessibility
  • Leave a small pathway to navigate to the back of your unit, so you won’t need to move everything to access items.
6. Utilize Drive-Up Access
  • For added convenience, all of our units have drive-up access, making it easy to load and unload your items directly from your vehicle.
