Storage Resources & Tips
Everything you need to know to pack like a pro, follow facility rules, and make the most of your space.
General Storage Tips
- Store items you use most often at the front of the unit.
- Create a center aisle as you load for easier access to back items.
- Use pallets or skids to allow air flow around and under boxes.
- Remove legs from tables or sofas and store on end to save space.
- Keep photographs flat between pieces of cardboard and tape together.
- Drain gasoline and oil from lawnmowers or machines with small engines.
- Use clean trash cans to store shovels, hoes, and rakes safely.
- Mattresses should be covered and stored flat on level surfaces.
- Wipe all metal surfaces with a rag containing a few drops of machine oil to avoid rusting.
- Always invest in a high-quality padlock for your unit.
