Storage Tips
• Place pallets, tarps or plastic sheets
on the floor of your unit before storing any items. Allow for
proper ventilation by not packing items right up against the walls.
This is especially important in humid climates.
• Leave access space in front of your unit, and keep your
frequently used items where you can easily reach them. The two
things people most frequently return for are clothes and files,
we recommend you keep these things towards the front of your
unit
& label them.
• Stacking uniform size boxes helps maximize your available
space. Don't stack higher than you can comfortably reach.
• Store high value items toward the back of your storage
unit in unmarked boxes.
• Protect furniture, including mattresses and box springs,
with plastic covers and stand on end.

Tips on Packing for Storage
• Use large boxes for light items
and smaller boxes for heavier items
• Small boxes are suggested for books, which should be packed
flat to protect their spines.
• Utilize large items for extra storage space.
• Refrigerators, freezers and washers & are perfect
for storing soft items such as linens, towels & clothing.
• Wrap dishes and glassware individually and pad the box
with packing paper or bubblewrap. It's best to store plates on
their sides.
• Special care is important when packing mirrors, windows
and screens. Mirror packs or strong cardboard help prevent damage.
