Tips for a Successful Move into Your Self-Storage Space

We want to make sure that you have a safe and efficient move-in. In addition to our helpful and attentive management staff, we also have the following list of storage tips to help you have a better experience when you store with us.

  • Pack your items carefully with proper planning to avoid damage during transport or unpacking
  • Use boxes that are sturdy and in good condition in order to keep your things free from harm
  • When packing, fill boxes until they are full and pack newspaper or shredded paper to fill in any empty space
  • Don’t pack too many items into one box or they might be too heavy to lift
  • Seal boxes with packing tape to avoid any dust collecting on your belongings while in storage
  • Wrap fragile items in paper, towels, or rags and pack them tightly
  • Make sure your items are dry in order to prevent mold during storage
  • Label contents of each box and make note of fragile items
  • Use bubble wrap to pack large, fragile items such as mirrors and frames
  • Take furniture apart when possible to maximize space when packing them into your storage unit
  • Use furniture covers for safety and to prevent dust collection
  • Do not store materials like gasoline, oil, or cleaning supplies, which are flammable and combustible
