Best Use of Your Storage Space

The following tips will help you make the best use of your locker space and insure safe and secure storage for your belongings:

• Rent the smallest amount of space you need and pack the unit full

• A box for everything and everything in a box is the best protection of your goods. Use uniform sizes and boxes and stack them shoulder high to maximize your total locker space.

• Prepare your unit by placing plastic on the floor under your goods. Be sure the plastic laps up over the walls a few inches on every side.

• Leave a small air space between the goods stored and the locker walls.

• Store lightweight small items around the back of the locker. Move large, heavy items into storage last.

• Do not place heavy or sharp objects on top of upholstered furniture.

• Protect your mattresses, sofas, and chairs with specially designed plastic covers.

• Cover the entire load with a light plastic cover.

• Use a good quality lock on your locker door. Cheap locks rust.

• Insure your goods while in storage. Ask the manager about self storage insurance at reasonable rates.

• Keep a list of all items in storage as well as pictures, and descriptions. The Moving Kit is ideal for this purpose.
