Storing a bed frame? Often times these can be dissembled for this very purpose. To make it easier when you finally take it out of storage, you may want to label the various parts so that you'll know how it goes back together.
When moving your belongings into a self-storage space, be sure to allow a little extra space so that you can walk around and access your things comfortably and safely. Be sure to organize your possessions and remember to label your boxes whenever possible. Boxes offer increased stability and, overall, will take up less space than bags.
If you have recreational watercraft and do not have room in your garage (or don’t have a garage), a storage facility can be a big help. Make sure to drain the gasoline from the lines, and prepare the item for storage according to the manufacturer’s recommendations.

The monthly storage fees are so reasonable for our self storage facilities that many people keep heirlooms and other valuables in storage rather than risk the possibility of being a victim of a burglary.
Why not create a master storage list as you pack? Use a fresh sheet of paper to list everything in one box. Number the sheet and put the same number on the box. Put your lists in a three-ring binder for easy reference.
