FREQUENTLY ACCESSING YOUR UNIT
IF YOU FREQUENTLY USE CERTAIN TIMES, MAKE SURE TO POSITION THEM AT THE FRONT OF THE UNIT FOR EASIER ACCESS.
STORING
CLOTHES
USE WARDROBE BOXES TO HANG CLOTHING, DRAPERIES, AND OTHER FABRICS SO THEY CAN BREATHE WHILE IN STORAGE
GETTING
ORGANIZED
WHEN PLACING YOUR ITEMS INTO STORAGE, DRAW A SIMPLE MAP OF WHERE EVERYTHING IS LOCATED. KEEP THE MAP WITH YOUR LEASE SO IT WILL BE HANDY WHEN YOU NEED IT.
LABEL YOUR
ITEMS
LABEL EVERYTHING YOU STORE IN YOUR UNIT AND KEEP A WRITTEN INVENTORY ALONG WITH YOUR LOCATOR MAP TO MAKE IT EASY TO FIND YOUR BELONGINGS
STORING IMPORTANT DOCUMENTS
IF YOU ARE STORING BOXES OF RECORDS OR DOCUMENTS, CONSIDER USING SHELVES TO MAXIMIZE YOUR SELF STORAGE SPACE.
STORING
TABLES
IF STORING TABLES, REMOVE THE LEGS WHEN POSSIBLE SO YOU CAN STAND THE TABLETOP VERTICALLY.
STORING
BOXES
WHEN PLACING YOUR BOXES INTO SELF STORAGE, PLACE THE HEAVIER BOXES ON THE BOTTOM, WITH EACH BOX STACKED ON TOP GETTING PROGRESSIVELY LIGHTER IN WEIGHT.
WRAP FRAGILE
ITEMS
WRAP ANYTHING FRAGILE IN BUBBLE WRAP, NEWSPAPER, OR BOTH BEFORE PLACING THEM IN BOXES. YOU CAN ALSO PACK SMALLER FRAGILE ITEMS AMONG CLOTHES OR OTHER SOFT BELONGINGS FOR ADDED CUSHIONING.
