How to Pack Like a Pro


Smart packing is key to making the most of your space and protecting your belongings. Here's how to do it right:

Pack in Layers

Heavier items are on the bottom, and lighter ones are on top.

Label Everything

Use sturdy boxes and label everything clearly.

Wrap Fragile Items

Wrap fragile items with bubble wrap or soft materials to prevent breakage.

Clean Items Before Storing

Clean items before storage, and use plastic bins for anything moisture-sensitive.

Organize Your Storage Unit for Easy Access


Planning your layout ahead of time can save you hours later:

Easy Access

Leave a walkway down the center of your unit.

Thoughtfully Organize

Store frequently used items toward the front.

Utilize Shelving

Use shelving to take advantage of vertical space and reduce clutter.

Tips for Vehicle Storage


If you're storing a vehicle, even short-term, a few steps can keep it in good condition:

Fluids, Tires, Battery

Top off fluids, inflate tires, and disconnect the battery.

Wash & Wax

Wash and wax the exterior to help prevent corrosion.
