Helpful Hints

Getting Ready to Store Your Belongings:

  • Make an inventory of all items in storage and keep it in a safe place.
  • Place items that you may need access to often in the front of the unit and allow for a walkway to the rear of the unit just in case you need to get to something in the back.
 
  • If possible, use pallets to raise your belongings off the floor and improve air circulation.
 

Do Not Store Anything Flammable.

 
  • Purchase storage insurance.
 
  • You are responsible for insuring your belongings.
