Packing Tips for Your Self Storage Unit
Packing a self storage unit doesn't have to be complicated. With some planning, you can make the most of your space and keep your items safe and accessible. Here are some practical tips to help you get organized:
Everything You Need to Know About Storing Your Stuff
Flexible Lease Terms for Your Self Storage Unit
Renting a self storage unit is easy and flexible. Most of our units are rented on a month-to-month basis, but if you're planning to store for a while, we offer discounts for longer commitments:
To take advantage of these deals, pay the full amount for your lease term upfront.
Do You Need Insurance for Your Items?
We offer protection plans for items stored in our self storage units, if needed. We do recommend checking with your homeowner's or renter's insurance provider to see if your stored belongings are covered. Always ask about exclusions to ensure you're fully covered.
How to Keep Your Self Storage Unit Secure
Your self storage unit's security starts with the right lock. We highly recommend using a disc lock, which is available for purchase at our office. These locks are tough, with a hardened steel shackle and a 5-pin tumbler for extra protection.
And don't forget—keeping an extra key in a safe place is a good idea, just in case. If you lose your key, we can help cut your lock for a small fee.
What Shouldn't Be Stored in Your Self Storage Unit
While self storage units are great for most of your belongings, there are a few things we recommend keeping out of storage. To protect your things—and to avoid attracting pests—please don't store:
For extra peace of mind, we recommend packing your items in new boxes (instead of used grocery store boxes) and using plastic bins with lids for added protection. Keep in mind that extreme temperature changes in self storage units can affect certain items, so be cautious with anything sensitive to heat or cold.
