Chances are good that many of us have used a secure
storage. Some are college students who have used them to store their study
lives in between semesters. Others have either downsized homes or have moved
into a new area and only have temporary residence. Whatever the reason as to
why we need a secure storage, there is an outline of what we need to do when
renting the unit and several tips on what to watch out for when deciding on a
reputable storage rental company. Here are some of those.
Unit Size
Reminder. Why waste time and money renting an oversized secure storage—or
moving all of your items into a unit that is too small? With our unit size
recommender, you can figure out which size is right for you. Part of packing
the unit is optimizing the space you have available to you. If you have
shelving that you are storing, use that to help maximize your unit.
Smart
Loading. This is the practice of knowing when something is too heavy to
move without help or a dolly. Make it a good practice to use a handcart to load
and unload your storage unit. This helps to protect your belongings from
potential damage and helps to protect you from hurting yourself! Never hesitate
to ask about these extra services from your trusted storage rental company.
Climate
Control. If you’re storing temperature-sensitive items like wine, wood or
leather furniture, vehicles or artwork, climate control is a must; swings and
extreme highs or lows in temperature can affect the quality of your
possessions. A secure storage will not
just provide you with space but with features that would keep your items in
condition. Additionally, you may want to avoid plastic bags — a sealed plastic
bag can foster humidity, especially if you haven’t properly dried whatever item
you’re storing before wrapping it in plastic
Lastly, your homeowners’ insurance probably does
not cover your things in storage or in transit. Check to make sure! And get the storage
insurance coverage you need.
