SELF STORAGE TIPS FOR SOUTHERN INDIANA

LET US HELP YOU MAKE THE MOST OF YOUR STORAGE SPACE

 

  • Make sure you are choosing the correct size unit for your needs.  Use our handy formula to help you understand your needs.
  • Use pallets covered in plastic to raise the floor in your unit to provide ventilation and reduce the risk of moisture absorption from the concrete floors.
  • Use boxes that are of a similar shape and size to help maximize your storage space.
  • Avoid storing anything in plastic bags - especially garbage bags - as they trap moisture, mold and mildew.
  •  Avoid storing clothing in vacuum bags as they also trap moisture - instead use cardboard wardrobe boxes which protect the clothing and provide proper ventilation.
  • Don't over pack your boxes. The create unsteady stacks and tend to come apart and make a mess.
  • Use shelving if you are storing a number of small items.
  • Drain gasoline and oil from lawn mowers and other items with small engines.
  • Store couches on their end to maximize space.  Remove legs and disassemble tables and other furniture.
  • Create a center aisle, if possible, to provide access to more of your items.
  • Store items you anticipate requiring access to most often at the front of the unit.
