Storage Tips

Helpful tips to maximize space, protect belongings, and get the most from your storage unit.
1. Choose the Right Unit Size
Selecting the correct unit size is essential for efficient storage. Take an inventory of your items and consider our size guide to ensure everything fits comfortably without overcrowding. Proper sizing saves you money and makes accessing your items easier.

2. Use Climate-Controlled Storage for Sensitive Items
Protect valuables like electronics, antiques, artwork, and wine with our climate-controlled units. Maintaining consistent temperature and humidity prevents damage and preserves your belongings year-round.

3. Store Wine Properly
Our specialized wine storage units are designed for collectors. Store your wine in a stable environment with the right temperature and humidity to maintain quality and taste.

4. Pack Smart and Organize
Use boxes, packing materials, and labels to keep your items organized. Place heavier items on the bottom and lighter ones on top. Clear labeling makes it easy to locate specific items without unpacking everything.

5. Maximize Space with Shelving
Adding shelves or racks in your unit helps you use vertical space efficiently. This keeps your items off the floor, making it easier to access and organize your belongings.

6. Keep Items Accessible
Store frequently used items near the front of your unit. Create aisles for easier access and avoid stacking items so high that retrieving what you need becomes difficult.

7. Secure Your Belongings
Even with our fenced, gated property and security cameras, using a high-quality lock on your unit adds an extra layer of protection and peace of mind.

8. Protect Against Moisture and Pests
Use plastic bins instead of cardboard for items that could be damaged by moisture. Avoid storing perishable or food items to keep pests away.

9. Make Use of 24/7 Access
Take advantage of our 24/7 access hours to visit your unit whenever it’s convenient. Regular checks on your belongings help ensure everything stays in great condition.
