Storage Tips
At Storage Zone, we want your storage experience to be as simple and efficient as possible. Whether you're storing personal items or business inventory, our expert storage tips can help you make the most of your space. Here are a few tips to ensure your belongings are safely packed, organized, and easy to access:
1. Use Proper Packing Materials:
To protect your items, use sturdy boxes, bubble wrap, and packing peanuts. For fragile items, consider adding extra cushioning to prevent damage during transport and storage.
2. Label Everything:
Labeling your boxes clearly will make it easier to locate items when you need them. Be specific with your labeling, and if necessary, include an inventory list of items inside the box.
3. Choose the Right Unit Size:
Take a few moments to assess the size of the items you're storing. If you're unsure, use our online size guide or get in touch with our team to help you select the perfect unit.
4. Store Items You Don’t Need Frequently in the Back:
When organizing your storage unit, place items you don’t need access to regularly at the back of the unit. Keep frequently used items toward the front for easy access.
5. Avoid Storing Perishable Goods:
To prevent odors and pests, avoid storing food, plants, or any other perishable items. Our climate-controlled units are ideal for keeping sensitive items like electronics and documents safe from extreme temperatures.
6. Use Shelving and Plastic Bins:
To maximize vertical space, consider using shelving units. Plastic bins are perfect for organizing smaller items and protecting them from dust and moisture.
7. Leave Space for Airflow:
Make sure to leave some space between your items for ventilation. This is especially important for items stored in climate-controlled units, as it helps to maintain the ideal temperature and humidity levels.
By following these simple storage tips, you can ensure your belongings stay safe, organized, and easily accessible. If you need more advice or are ready to rent a unit, contact us today! We’re here to help you every step of the way.
