Storage Tips
- 1. Wrap What You Can: Each time you use a storage unit, wrap what you can in industrial plastic wrap. That way you know that things are sealed up tight and won’t collect dust.
- 2. Label everything, including the hidden and the obvious. And you can even go as far as to make a checklist that hangs inside the door telling you where something might be.
- 3. Plan For Temperature Changes: Although this might not be an issue in some parts of the country, there are a few
things that don’t like the cold or the heat and should either be double wrapped or well insulated Electronics, vinyl records, old photos (if humid), things of that nature all come out a little less awesome when not stored properly. - 4. Bust Out Your Tetris Skills: Even the smallest storage unit can hold a great deal, just make sure you use the space wisely which means packing things all the way to the ceiling. Bringing in plywood to lay across several boxes can help stabilize layers as your stacking it up, up and up! It will take the pressure off the tops of your boxes and help keep things safe.
