- Self Storage Tip #1: Pack like a professional - wrap dishes and stemware individually. Remove legs from tables and store on edge, cover mirrors and glass to avoid scratching. Clothing should be packed in boxes. Do not wrap items in plastic, as it may retain moisture.
- Self Storage Tip #2: Select medium uniform sized boxes that are easy to handle, sturdy and easy to stack. Label each box on the side and top for easy identification. Visit our supplies page for info on boxes and other storage supplies.
- Self Storage Tip #3: Leave a few inches of air space around the inside perimeter of your self storage unit to promote air flow. Place wooden strips or pallets on the floor to protect against moisture.
- Self Storage Tip #4: Stack heavy non-breakables on the bottom, lighter and fragile items on the top.
- Self Storage Tip #5: Place items you need often near the front of the self storage unit.
- Self Storage Tip #6: Do not store food, perishables or plants, flammable, explosives, toxic or corrosive materials. Drain all lawn mowers and gasoline engines.
- Self Storage Tip #7: Drain water beds completely and pack with moth balls to prevent mildew and pest infiltration.
- Self Storage Tip #8: Do not forget to secure your self storage unit with a good lock and provide insurance coverage on your items while they are in storage.
