Storage Tips
1. Maximize Space
➤ Use uniform boxes for easier stacking and stability.
➤ Store heavier items on the bottom and lighter items on top.
➤ Utilize vertical space with shelving or stackable containers to free up floor space.
2. Protect Your Belongings
➤ Cover furniture with blankets or plastic wrap to prevent dust and scratches.
➤ Wrap delicate items individually in bubble wrap or packing paper.
➤ Avoid storing items directly on the concrete floor — use pallets or a small platform to prevent moisture damage.
3. Label Everything
➤ Clearly label boxes with their contents and the room they belong to.
➤ Keep an inventory list to quickly locate items without opening every box.
4. Easy Access
➤ Place frequently used items near the front of your unit for easy access.
➤ Leave aisles between stacks so you can move around and reach your items safely.
5. Seasonal & Vehicle Storage
➤ Store seasonal items like beach gear or winter equipment in labeled bins for easy rotation.
➤ For RVs, boats, or vehicles, consider a cover and check tire pressure if stored for long periods.
6. Climate & Security Considerations
➤ Keep important documents, electronics, and sensitive items in sealed, waterproof containers.
➤ Use a high-quality padlock and keep your unit organized to reduce theft risk.
