We are always available to answer the questions that you may have about our secure facilities.

 

A few storage tips we would like to share with you include:

• It is important to plan ahead - put the items you use the least in the back and the items you would like to access close to the front

• Leave space or an aisle way for you to access items in the back

• Protect your belongings with a tarp, plastic wrap, or put sensitive items in plastic boxes to keep dirt and bugs out

• If you are planning to stack boxes or other items, stack with the heaviest on the bottom and the lightest on top

• Make use of the space you have by breaking down any items you can, and stacking chairs or other boxes

• If you have any larger items like bookshelves or refrigerators, use them to store other items

• It is important to also leave space along the edges of your unit for ventilation purposes

• Ensure that you do not leave anything toxic or scented in your storage units, such as gas-powered tools or gas tanks
