Self-Storage 101
Leave Room
Make sure there's enough space around the edges for good ventilation. Opt for boxes of the same size to make stacking a breeze.
No Boxes on the Floor
To keep your belongings safe in self-storage units, avoid placing cardboard boxes directly on concrete floors. Instead, use pallets or plastic bins.
Prioritize Your Belongings
When organizing your self-storage unit, prioritize accessibility by storing frequently needed items towards the front.
Heaviest to Lightest
Stack belongings in your storage unit so that heavier things are on the bottom. Over time, heavier items will compress the items below.
Plan Ahead
Using colored labels on your bins and boxes will make identifying items later much easier. A sketch of your packed items will make finding things a breeze.
Storing Fabric
Fabrics, like curtains, clothes, and drapes are best stored by hanging them on hangers or in tightly sealed boxes to keep moths and rodents out.
