What size self storage unit do you need? The average 5 x 10 foot unit is about the size of a cargo van or walk-in closet. It can hold an average sofa, dining set, mattress set, chest of drawers, boxes and small items.
It's important to inventory your items before you store them, particularly anything that's valuable. Keep a detailed list of what's in the unit and where. For items like electronics or antiques, it's a good idea to photograph them as well.
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.
Always leave space in your unit for you to walk around and access your items. You should leave some space between your items and the unit's wall, too, to allow adequate ventilation. That will help keep your items from getting moldy or mildewed.
Do you need a safe place to store your vehicle? Find affordable vehicle storage units with low cost monthly rental rates to protect your vehicle from wear and tear due to harsh weather and to keep your vehicle safe from vandalism.
Safety is another important consideration when storing a car in self-storage. You will rest comfortably knowing you are renting from a reputable storage facility and that your valuables are safely secured. The facility may even have renter’s insurance you can purchase for extra peace of mind.
