STORAGE TIPS Frequently used items often go on the moving truck last, set them aside to be stored last. Allow plenty of time for packing. It usually takes much longer than people expect. Ink free newsprint can be a good packing material. Newspaper can cause permanent stains. Tables with removable legs should be dismantled to maximize your storage space. A quality lock assures the safety of your goods. Consider a Disk Lock designed for this purpose. Wipe metal items with light oil. Drain gas and oil from motorcycles, lawn mowers or any small engine. Pack books flat, not standing on end (which may cause damage to the spines). Don't pack too many in one box. Clean and dry your appliances. Keep refrigerator doors slightly ajar and use the space inside for additional storage. Use furniture drawers to hold delicate items. Wrap them in bubble wrap or newspaper. Use protective covers and treat wood surfaces before storing. When storing business files, label all boxes and construct aisles so files are easily seen and accessible.

CARING for YOUR GOODS... Whether short- or long-term, you won't regret a little advance planning for your needs.
Start by measuring the larger pieces and deternine how much space smaller items will take. Then speak to a manager who will accommodate your needs.
We don't think anyone should rent more space than they need, but too little is worse - it just won't fit!
Leave room for air to circulate around
Items as well as between stored goods and walls. An old blanket, not plastic, is best for wooden furniture...

Proper packing saves Time & Frustration If you have good, sturdy boxes, great. Otherwise, consider buying them; they're always clean and just the right size for the job.
Pack heavy items like books in smaller boxes. Keep the boxes 30 pounds or less for easy moving. Place durable goods on the bottom of a stack, more fragile items on top.
Take the time to mark the contents of every box on three sides - you won't regret it later. Put items to which you need access in your storage unit last. Toiletries and personal items, often packed last should be at the front.

Creative Ways to use ALL YOUR SPACE Stoves and refrigerators, once thoroughly cleaned, can hold bulky items like blankets and pillows. Always fill up those dresser drawers!
For maximum accessibility, leave an aisle to the back wall. If you won't be accessing your goods, pack the storage unit tightly to maximize space.
Sofas and loveseats can be stored on end to save floor space. Always place a protective waterproof cover under the end on the floor. Cushions should be wrapped in plastic and placed on top.
Store mirrors on edge, not flat.
