“PREPARATION IS KEY” We’ve all heard this phrase at one time or another. But have you ever considered that this would apply to Self Storage? Let’s discuss a few items that will help you prepare your storage unit.Circumstances vary as to why one might need a self storage facility. We’re here to help you out when the situation demands.

There are special forms you may need to fill out so be sure to mention your Military service to the Facility Manager. Contact Information: This needs to be current and up to date at all times. While you might need a storage unit because you are moving, be sure to update the information listed with your facility. This is your responsibility, don’t let yourself down.

Reference it when needed Labels: Just like when you were a kid it is still important to put your name on your things. While you don’t necessarily have to put your name it would be advisable to have the contents of boxes clearly marked. You can also devise your very own packing code.

Lorem ipsum dolor sit amet.Join us as we discuss the difference between climate and non-climate control self storage units. Climate Control Climate Control is the best way to protect your belongings from extreme temperatures. Drastic changes in weather can lead to build up moisture, which is bad when storing items. Having this type of unit helps control humidity, which prevents mold, mildew, rust and wood deterioration. It helps keep your mattresses, clothes, cloth and leather furniture, pictures and paintings, photo albums and books preserved. Climate Control units decrease the amount of dust and dirt as well because you enter the unit from inside a hallway. Storing in Climate Control units is just like storing your things inside a similar environment to a typical home. Non Climate Control Our Non-Climate Control units is like storing your things inside your garage, with no protection from the changing weather and temperatures. It’s recommended, generally, that you store your household items and keepsakes within a Climate Control unit. Non Climate Control units are suitable for tools, outdoor equipment and furniture and sports equipment. Looking for additional storage for larger items?
