Keep Your Treasures in Good Condition
- When packing toys or smaller objects, remember to fill boxes
completely, stuffing open areas with plain newspaper to prevent collapsing when
stacked.
- Be careful not to store anything combustible (such as paint
and chemicals) or perishable (such as food that is not permanently sealed).
- When storing lawn and garden equipment, drain any fluids
prior to storage in order to avoid corrosive damage.
- Use trash cans to store shovels, hoes and rakes.
- Always use high quality locks on your unit. We sell locks on-site; ask the manager for details.
- When storing delicate heirlooms, use specially constructed
boxes, such as wardrobe boxes, and utilize dehumidifiers to prevent mildew
build up.
- Store furniture carefully on boards or pallets.
- Cover mattresses and store them flat on level surfaces.
- Store small items like pots and pans in large appliances,
such as stoves or refrigerators.
- Break down items (such as table legs) and store large furniture
(like tabletops and sofas) on end to save space.
- Use protective covers and treat wood surfaces before
storing.
- When storing business files, label all boxes and construct
aisles so files are easily seen and accessible.
