STORAGE TIPS
Get expert advice and practical tips to keep your belongings safe, organized, and easy to access in your storage unit.
1. Choose the Right Unit Size
Before moving your items, assess how much space you’ll need. Overestimating may cost extra, while underestimating can lead to overcrowding. At GoStorage, we offer a variety of unit sizes to fit both small and large storage needs.
2. Use Quality Packing Materials
Protect your items with sturdy boxes, bubble wrap, and packing paper. Label each box clearly, so you can find what you need quickly. Avoid storing perishables, plants, animals, flammable or hazardous materials, and illegal items.
3. Maximize Your Space
Stack boxes neatly, and place heavier items on the bottom. Use shelving or pallets to keep items off the floor and improve airflow. Keep frequently used items near the front of your unit for easy access.
4. Keep an Inventory
Make a list of the items you store. Taking photos and noting contents can save time when you need to locate specific belongings and help ensure nothing gets misplaced.
5. Protect Your Valuables
Store important documents, electronics, and fragile items in waterproof containers or protective cases. While our units are secure, adding an extra layer of protection gives you peace of mind.
6. Make Access Easy
Take advantage of our drive-up units and convenient access hours from 6 AM to 9 PM. Arrange your items so you can reach what you need without moving everything around.
7. Maintain Your Storage Unit
Regularly check on your items to ensure they remain in good condition. Keep the unit clean and report any issues to GoStorage staff immediately.
