• Prepare your unit by placing plastic on the floor under your items. Be sure the plastic laps up over the walls a few inches on every side.



• A box for everything and everything in a box is the best protection of your goods. Use uniform sizes of boxes and stack them shoulder high to maximize your total storage space.



• Leave a small air space between the goods stored and the storage unit walls.



• Store lightweight, small items in the back of the storage unit. Move large, heavy items into your storage unit last.



• Leave a path to the rear of the unit. Place frequently used items in the front.



• Do not place heavy or sharp objects on top of upholstered furniture.



• Protect your mattresses, sofas, and chairs with plastic covers. Cover all of your items with a light, plastic cover to avoid dust and dirt buildup.



• Use a good quality lock on your storage unit door. We have three different types of locks available for purchase.



• Insure your goods while in storage. Check with your insurance agent to see if your renter's or homeowner's insurance will cover your items in storage. When you rent a unit here, you will receive a pamphlet on storage insurance through a company called TenantOne. You can purchase insurance through this company for a small monthly fee.



• Because screws, nails, or hanging anything on the walls is prohibited, use freestanding shelves.



• Keep a list of your items in storage. Remember to include all items on your list, with a description of each item.



• DO NOT store combustibles such as old paint, cleaning fluids, gasoline, etc. Make certain all fuel is drained or burned out of gasoline powered equipment. Throw away anything that could possibly cause a fire.



• DO NOT store food, perishables, or any item which could attract rodents or pests.



• Storage of flammable, hazardous, pressurized, or toxic materials, including liquids and aerosols, is prohibited.
