Self Storage Tips & Best Practices

  • Be sure to purchase a secure lock.
  • The heavier the item the smaller the box. Place lighter and harder to carry on their own items in larger boxes.
  • Seal cardboard boxes tightly with good quality packing tape.
  • Place the heaviest boxes at the bottom of the stack with fragile items on top.
  • Avoid leaning any of your things against walls, as this can be a potential safety hazard.
  • Keep items you need to get to frequently towards the front of the unit.
  • Create an aisle down the center of your storage unit for easy access.
  • Label or color code all boxes by room or category.
  • Maximize space by storing small items in drawers.
  • Do not store anything flammable or perishable.
  • Do not store hazardous or combustible materials. 
  • Drain fuel from lawnmowers, trimmers, and any other equipment.
