BEST PRACTICES
Do label your boxes. If you’re using self-storage,
chances are you don’t intend to be needing the items you’re packing up for at
least a couple of months. And even if you swear you’ll be able to remember that
the boxes packed in the right-hand corner contain your extra kitchen utensils
or sports equipment, you’d be surprised how easy it is to forget what’s what once
everything is sealed up and out of sight. Labeling your boxes makes the
unpacking process much easier and is also useful if you ever need to come in
and grab something.
Don’t store anything super valuable. As a general rule, if
you can’t afford to lose it, you probably shouldn’t be putting it in your
storage unit. A majority of the time your belongings will be just fine and
there’s nothing to worry about, but self-storage always come with a risk –
albeit a small one – that items will get damaged or lost. To be safe, find an
alternative way to house art, jewelry, family heirlooms, and other valuable
items that you don’t want to take any chances with.
Do pack strategically. Some of the most crucial
self-storage tips you’ll want to follow are those around how to pack your
things. You never know if or when you’ll need to access your unit during the
storage period, so organize everything in a way that makes it easy – just in
case. Store items you’re more likely to need toward the front of the unit, and
things you know you’ll be able to live without for a while in the back. And
think vertically. Instead of crowding things across the bottom, take advantage
of the unit’s height and stack your items, keeping the heavier things closer to
the ground. If you can, leave a pathway from the front of the unit to the back
so that no item is completely out of reach.
Don’t leave items unprotected. Prevent items from
getting damaged by taking the time to properly pack and wrap them. Furniture
should be covered with blankets or moving pads (not plastic, which can trap
moisture, resulting in mildew and mold), and anything small should be boxed up.
Fragile items should be carefully wrapped in packing paper and stored in a way
that they can’t move around. Additionally, we encourage you to invest in plastic
bins with lids (instead of cardboard boxes) to help protect your belongings.
Do purchase insurance. Check to see if your
renters or homeowners insurance covers personal property in storage. If it
doesn’t already, you may be able to add it on to your existing policy or
purchase a separate storage insurance plan through the insurance company.
Don’t store anything perishable. Be careful not to pack
anything in your unit that could spoil. In addition to leading to bad odors,
rotting food and plants could attract bugs and rodents
