Storage Tips

  • 1 Plan your storage space; place those items that you may need to access often in the front. Allow for walkways.
  • 2 Make up an inventory of your stored items and keep them in a safe place at home.
  • 3 Place your stored items on 2x4 boards or pallets to guard against dampness.
  • 4 Stack lighter boxes on top and use bubble wrap for dishes, glasses, and mirrors.
  • 5 Furniture with drawers can be utilized as storage places for pictures, knick-knacks, china, and small items.
  • 6 Tables having removable legs should be broken down to save space.
  • 7 Sofas and loveseats can be stored on end to save floor space. Always place a protective cover under the item on the floor.
  • 8 Cover stuffed furniture with protective covers or plastic.
  • 9 Always use a good quality disk lock on your door.
  • 10 Make sure your items are covered under your homeowner's or renters' insurance. Secure Storage is not responsible for any loss or damage.

Please always maintain a safe speed in the complex (5 mph). Keep units and common areas clean. Remove all items when vacating. Report any suspicious situations to management.
