Here are a few tips that can help you protect & preserve your items and conserve valuable space.
• Use wooden pallets or boards underneath furniture and boxes. This will prevent condensation from damaging them.
• Leave a small airspace between your stored items and the wall of the storage unit for ventilation.
• Store items that will not be needed to the rear of the storage unit and items that you will need access to towards the front of the unit.
• Store heavy items on the bottom and lightweight items on the top.
• Although we have taken every precaution to prevent any unauthorized person from entering your unit, in the event a thief does circumvent our barriers, they will be looking for small valuables. Store these items toward the rear of the unit and large items toward the front.
• Cover everything with plastic sheeting. Wooden furniture should first be covered with blankets to avoid abrasion and moisture damage. Plastic sheeting will protect your stored goods from both dust and water damage.
• Pack your storage unit as tightly as possible. Tighter packing helps to protect stored items from moisture and dust and reduces the space needed to store your property.
• Use a high quality disc (round) padlock to secure your storage unit. This type of lock is difficult to cut or break and offers maximum protection for very little money.
