Storage Tips
We Want to Make the Experience Easier for You
Fill Space with Small Items
Fill storage totes with small items and use newspaper or towels to fill any empty space. This better protects contents and helps prevent cave ins when stacked.
Break Down Larger Items
Whenever possible, break down any items that cause wasted space. Items such as tables and desks can often be broken down so that the table top can be stored on end.
Use Totes, Not Boxes if Possible
Find the Extra Space
Find extra space in items such as refrigerators, freezers, washers, and dryers. Remember that when packed properly these spaces can be used to store and protect small items.
Take Extra Care When Packing
Take a little extra time when packing items to save yourself a lot of aggravation later. Pack heavy items in small totes. Label each tote so you can find what you need, when you need it.
Protect Fragile Items
Use furniture drawers to protect fragile items, and simply transfer clothing from the drawers into bags or totes since they need much less protection.
Plan Your Storage Layout
Before moving things in, spend a few minutes thinking about the arrangement of your items within the unit.
Prepare Metal Objects
Wipe metal items like bikes, lawn mowers, and tools with a rag containing machine oil to reduce the possibility of rust.
A Few Things to Consider
• Leave aisles when possible so you can get in and around your stuff.
• Leave space at the back of the unit to access the hardest to reach items.
• Put frequently needed items near the front.
The owner, Tracie, is unbelievably nice - even sent us a Happy Thanksgiving email! She's always answered me quickly and the garages are super clean.
