How do I choose the right storage unit size?
The best storage unit depends on the number of items you need to store. Smaller units work well for boxes and seasonal decorations, while larger units can accommodate the contents of an entire home. Our team can help you choose the right size before you rent.
Should I use climate-controlled storage?
Climate-controlled storage is recommended for electronics, wooden furniture, artwork, photographs, antiques, musical instruments, documents, and other temperature-sensitive belongings.
How should I pack items for long-term storage?
Use sturdy boxes, label everything clearly, protect fragile items with packing materials, and leave small walkways inside your storage unit for easy access.
Can I store furniture safely?
Yes. Clean furniture thoroughly, cover it with breathable furniture covers, and avoid placing heavy items on top. Disassemble larger furniture when possible to maximize space.
What items should not be stored?
Avoid storing hazardous chemicals, flammable materials, explosives, illegal items, perishables, or anything that could attract pests or create safety hazards.
