Storage Tips

We want to help you obtain the most value out of every inch of space you rent.  Here are some tips to consider when storing your belongings:

• Use your storage space’s volume and not just its floor space
• Store table tops, mattresses, and couches on their end to save floor space
• Store glass and mirrors between mattresses
• Store garden tools and hoses in empty trash cans
• Use all available space in drawers, refrigerator, washer, and dryer
• Leave doors on refrigerator slightly open so mold won’t grow
• Leave items you frequently use near the front of your storage space
• Consider leaving an aisle down the middle for future access
• Always store mattresses in protective covers
• Use protective covers for furniture
• Store furniture on boards or pallets
• Drain oils and gasoline out of all lawn and garden equipment
• Never store anything combustible such as paints, chemicals, oil, and gasoline
• Never store food items that are not permanently sealed in a can
• Never store the fabric or the leather side of your furniture directly against the concrete floor
• Always use a high security lock
• Check on your stored goods periodically
