10 Tips for Self Storage in Stockbridge
Monday, January 4th, 2010Make the most out of your self storage unit in Stockbridge with these 10 tips from The Storage Neighbor.
- When you rent a unit from The Storage Neighbor in Stockbridge, it will be clean prior to your taking possession. However, for additional cleanliness in your Stockbridge storage unit, consider putting down canvas, cardboard or pallets to protect items from sitting directly on the floor.
- If you opt for an outdoor dry storage unit in Stockbridge, as opposed to an indoor climate controlled unit, consider putting down moisture absorbers and/or deodorizers for added protection.
- We recommend placing electronics and other highly valuable items toward the back of your Stockbridge storage unit for added protection. While the security at our storage facility in Stockbridge is top notch, taking added precautions is never a bad idea.
- The largest or bulkiest items should be placed along the back or side walls of your Stockbridge storage unit.
- Arranging items in your storage unit in Stockbridge in a U shape, or with a center aisle, is an easy way to increase accessibility.
- Items or boxes that you will need to access frequently should be placed toward the front or along the aisles of your Stockbridge storage unit.
- Artwork and mirrors should be stored upright and inside cardboard boxes in your Stockbridge storage unit.
- Stacking boxes in your Stockbridge storage unit is a bit of an art. Place the heaviest boxes at the bottom and lighter boxes at the top. Also try to stack similar sized boxes together. If possible, try to stack like items together in your storage unit in Stockbridge. For example, all boxes that hold kitchen items should be placed together.
- Don’t forget that you can gain space in your Stockbridge storage unit by placing items inside dressers, bookshelves and appliances.
- We recommend keeping a fold-up step stool inside your Stockbridge storage unit to make accessing hard to reach items easier.
