Self-Storage Tips

Plan Ahead: Before you start packing, take inventory of your items and decide what you'll need to access regularly. Pack these items last so that you can easily reach them.

Use Quality Packing Supplies: Invest in sturdy boxes, packing tape, bubble wrap, and other packing materials to protect your belongings.

Label Everything: Clearly label all boxes on all sides for easy identification. You might think you'll remember what's inside, but it's easy to forget over time.

Disassemble Furniture: If possible, disassemble large furniture pieces to save space.

Stack Strategically: Place heavier boxes at the bottom and stack lighter ones on top. Leave aisles for easy access to items at the back.

Elevate Your Items: Keeping your items off the concrete floor can significantly decrease the risk of damage from moisture, mildew, and molds.

Take Photos: Photos help in better organization and easy retrieval and serve as a record for insurance purposes.

Protecting your Possessions: The items you place in self-storage are the sole responsibility of you, their owner. Your stored items are not insured by the storage facility for any damages. We suggest you contact your insurance company to discuss insurance coverage for your stored possessions.
