10 Helpful Tips For Storage King Self Storage Users

 

Begin by taking a good look at your storage area, mentally planning the storage of your items based on the size of your access needs.

To avoid condensation in your personal effects, consider using wooden pallets as your base. Pallets are inexpensive and will help keep out water and insects, and also allow air to flow through your
     belongings.

You may need accessories like a sturdy lock, plastic wrap, clothing wardrobe boxes and furniture covers to secure your belongings in your storage unit.

Using boxes of the same size will allow the easiest stacking. Fill the boxes to their capacity in order to prevent collapsing or tipping box corners.

Plan your storage so that you save a small walkway to move around from the front to the back of your storage area

When packing heavy items, remember that small to medium sized boxes will be the easiest to lift and move around. Do not store large heavy boxes on top of smaller lighter boxes because they can fall
     and break open

Fragile goods should be stored with tissue in small and medium boxes at the top of piles

Items that will require frequent access should be stored near the front of the unit.

Clearly mark all of your boxes for easy identification. Store the boxes with the marking identification facing the same direction from which you will be accessing them.

For easy access, create a list of your belongings and where they are placed in the storage unit and keep the list in your Storage King Self Storage folder, along with your important storage information.
