Storage Tips

• Label your boxes for easy locating
• Read your Rental Agreement
• Insure your goods - if it's worth storing, it's worth insuring!
• Keep heavier boxes on the bottom
• Use smaller boxes for books and heavy objects
• Put the items you need the least in the back of the unit to keep room in the front for things you may want to get at later
• Leave an aisle or walkway for easy access to all your items
• Use freestanding shelving to help keep things organized
• Wrap pictures, mirrors and framed items with paper or bubble wrap and mark as FRAGILE. Never store these items flat.
• Cover furniture and mattresses for protection. Use pallets or cardboard to keep these items off the floor.
• Store mattresses flat to prevent them from bending out of shape
• Don't forget to use furniture drawers to store items- linens, clothes, blankets, silverware and small items.
• Remove the legs from tables to make more room
• DO NOT store cash, jewelry, furs, sentimental or irreplaceable items
• DO NOT store hazardous or dangerous materials, food or perishable items
• Be aware of property access hours and posted signage
