    Storage and Packing Tips

  • Create a walkway or aisle in your unit amongst your belongings to allow easier access and provide better air circulation in your unit.
  • Store heavier and less-used items in boxes on the bottom of a stack or further at the back of your unit.
  • Take advantage of the extra height of our units to stack some items (ex. couches and mattresses) vertically; many furniture items also disassemble for easier storage.
  • Leave appliance doors ajar to prevent mildew and don't forget to take advantage of the interior space in them for extra storage.
  • Label all boxes clearly and ensure you can see the labels. Keep a separate list of your boxes and their contents so you always what you have in your unit. Make a small map of your unit to help you locate items most efficiently.
  • Store pictures and mirrors on end.
  • Lawn mowers - be sure to empty gas and oil from these and other small machines.

We are not equipped to store the following items and they are prohibited on our premises:

  • Any food items or items which may attract pests.
