Measure your items before renting a unit. Make a list of what you’ll store to choose the right size and avoid paying for extra space you don’t need.
Stackable, uniform boxes save space and make your unit easier to organize. Label each box clearly so you can find items quickly.
Wrap furniture, electronics, and fragile items in blankets or bubble wrap. Keep mattresses upright and off the floor to prevent damage.
Leave a walkway in your unit for easy access to all items without having to move everything around.
Place seasonal items or things you’ll need frequently near the entrance of your unit for convenience.
Take advantage of the height of your unit. Place heavier items on the bottom and lighter boxes on top. Consider shelving units for better organization.
Keep items in plastic containers rather than cardboard to prevent moisture damage. Avoid storing food or plants that attract pests.
For items sensitive to temperature or humidity, like electronics, artwork, or antiques, consider a heated or climate-controlled unit.
Take photos and keep an inventory of all items in your unit. This makes it easier to track your belongings and helps with insurance claims if needed.
Always use a sturdy lock for your unit and check that the gate and doors are secure. Security is key to protecting your items.
