What size self storage unit do you need? A 10 x 15 foot unit is about the size of a mid-sized moving truck. You should be able to store a car, small boat, yard care or workshop equipment, or building materials and supplies.
When you are getting ready to move, having a unit available for short-term storage can make the move easier. You can pack least necessary items first and get them out of the way so that the rest of the process can proceed without having to navigate a maze of boxes.
If you have a home-based business that requires storage of specialized equipment, and you lack storage space at your house, talk with us about what you need. We can provide units large enough to safely contain that equipment while providing quick and easy access.
When moving and storing boxes, use dollies or hand trucks whenever possible to make things easier. Also, do not try to lift items that are too heavy, or place them too high. It is better to separate things into several smaller boxes than to cram everything into one.
If you plan to store kitchen appliances in your unit, be sure to clean them thoroughly inside and out before you store them. Even minute traces of food, grease or cooking residues can attract pests and rodents.
When storing furniture, it is a good idea to cover the items, especially if you will be stacking other things on them. Not only will it keep dust off, it also prevents inadvertent scratches from damaging the material.
