STORAGE TIPS

Select a storage unit that fits your needs without paying for extra unused space. We offer a wide range of unit sizes for personal, business, and vehicle storage. Check our online availability!


Sensitive items like electronics, furniture, documents, clothing, and antiques are better protected in our heated, air-conditioned, and dehumidified climate-controlled units.


Mark every box on multiple sides so you can quickly identify contents without opening each one.


Store items you may need often near the entrance of your unit for quick and easy access.


Place heavier boxes on the bottom and lighter, fragile boxes on top to prevent crushing or damage.


Leave a small aisle inside your unit so you can access items in the back without unpacking everything.


Use shelves or stack boxes carefully to make use of the full height of your storage unit.


Wrap glassware, mirrors, and breakables in bubble wrap, blankets, or packing paper before storing.


Disassemble large furniture when possible and store mattresses and couches upright to save space.


Do not store food, flammable liquids, chemicals, or anything that may spoil or attract pests.

Use blankets, sheets, or protective covers on furniture and appliances to prevent dust buildup.


Use our complimentary dollies and hand carts, plus drive-up and elevator access, to make moving easier.
