STORAGE TIPS
1. Choose the Right Storage Space
Select a storage option that matches what you plan to store and how often you need access. Climate-controlled storage can be a great choice for belongings that may benefit from protection from temperature changes, while indoor and outdoor parking options provide convenient solutions for RVs, boats, and vehicles.
2. Create an Easy-to-Follow Inventory
Keep a written or digital list of everything you place in storage. Include box numbers and brief descriptions so you can quickly locate important items without having to search through every box.
3. Label Every Box
Clearly label each box on multiple sides with its contents and, when possible, the room or category it belongs to. This makes finding seasonal decorations, household items, or business supplies much easier.
4. Pack Boxes Efficiently
Use sturdy, similar-sized boxes whenever possible and avoid making them too heavy to safely move. Place heavier items on the bottom and lighter items on top to help prevent damage.
5. Protect Fragile Items
Wrap glassware, electronics, dishes, and other delicate belongings with bubble wrap, packing paper, or other protective materials. Use appropriately sized boxes and avoid leaving empty space that allows items to shift during handling.
6. Keep Frequently Used Items Accessible
Place items you may need soon near the front of your storage space. Create a small aisle so you can reach boxes and belongings without having to move everything around.
7. Prepare Your RV or Boat for Storage
Before storing an RV or boat, clean and inspect it thoroughly. Remove personal belongings, check fluid levels and tires, and follow the manufacturer's recommended storage procedures to help keep your vehicle ready for its next adventure.
8. Use Covered or Indoor Parking for Added Convenience
Consider covered or indoor parking when you want an added layer of convenience and protection for your RV, boat, or vehicle. Choosing the right parking option can make seasonal storage easier while keeping your vehicle in a dedicated storage space.
9. Avoid Storing Perishable or Hazardous Items
Do not place food, flammable materials, hazardous chemicals, or other prohibited items in storage. Proper storage helps maintain a safe environment for your belongings and other customers.
10. Use Shelving to Maximize Space
Freestanding shelving can help organize boxes and keep items off the floor. Use vertical space efficiently while making sure heavier items are stored securely and safely.
11. Keep Your Storage Space Clean and Organized
Leave enough room to move around your storage space and periodically check on your belongings. A clean, organized unit or parking area makes it easier to access what you need and keep track of your stored items.
