STORAGE TIPS - WHAT IS SELF-STORAGE AND WHY DO I NEED IT?

Many have come to realize how convenient and cost saving self-storage really is.  We all have things we don’t want to part with or need but just don’t have the room.  Think of self-storage as your own personal extra closet or storage room.  Our storage facility is a safe, secure, clean and pest-free environment to store your things with convenient access to your items from 6:00a.m. to 9:00p.m., seven  days a week, 365 days a year.  You store it, you lock it, and you keep the key.  No one else has access to your storage unit.  Our units come in many sizes, prices and climate controlled or regular storage.  You rent the space on a monthly basis for as long as you need it.  There is no long-term lease and no deposit.  Your payment is due on the same day each month with many options for paying your rent.  Our expert storage managers are on site six days a week to assist you in finding your perfect storage solution.  Entrance to the fenced property is granted only to customers using their unique code to enter the computerized gate.  Security cameras and monitor offer live surveillance and recorded activity.  The entire property is brightly lit for added security.  Our paved driveways are wide enough for even the largest moving vans.

*Store an extra car, boat, trailer, motorcycle, or other seldom used mechanical items.

*Never store flammable liquids, paints or chemicals, food or perishable items, pet food, hazardous or combustible materials, or any equipment containing oil or gasoline.  Be sure to empty all liquids from lawn or other equipment you may be storing.  Never store anything illegal.

• Break down furniture such as removing legs from tables, collapsing bed frames, or anything able to come apart to maximum your storage space.  (Tape screws to the piece.)  Sofas can be stored on end.  Remember to use the space inside drawers, cabinets and large appliances to store smaller items.

• Store items you will need to access near the front of the unit.  Leave some space for ventilation.  Make aisles between boxes and other items you might need to get into. 

• Lawn tools such as shovels and rakes, hoses and clippers can all be stored in empty garbage cans.

• Consider climate controlled storage if you plan to store longer than 3-4 months in the Florida heat and humidity.

• Use furniture covers or moving pads between furniture and as a dust shield. 

• Need boxes, packing materials, furniture covers, packing tape , or other packing items?  We can help.  Check with our office managers or go to our online store for all your packing and moving needs.  Your order is shipped directly to your door, fast!

• Be sure to use wardrobe boxes for hanging your clothing, draperies, etc. that need to breathe. 

• Carefully wrap your breakables!  Keep them separated with bubble-wrap or other thick packing materials.

• Make sure your boxes are taped securely with packing tape.

• Label boxes on all sides for easy identification.

• Be sure to stack heaviest boxes on the bottom and lighter, more delicate boxed contents on top.  Be sure not to pack boxes too heavy, or stack too high.

• Utilize the upper portion of your storage unit by stacking up boxes onto sturdy furniture items and appliances.  Lighter items can go up high.  Remember to leave space at the top for ventilation.

• If it’s worth storing, it’s worth securing!  We have high quality locks for purchase to secure your unit.  Are your belongings insured while away from your home or office?  Ask us about insurance options.
