TIPS FOR STORING AND PROTECTING YOUR VALUABLE TREASURES
We understand that many art lovers don’t have the space to showcase all of their work at once. Use the following guide and self-storage tips to keep your paintings, sculptures and other pieces safer:
- Clean and prepare any pieces before stowing them away. This may include dusting painted surfaces or polishing wooden components.
- Protect the integrity of frames with cardboard corners.
- Sandwich paintings, portraits and other framed pieces between cardboard and wrap in plastic for waterproofing.
- Safeguard statues and other 3-D pieces by choosing sturdy boxes and adding plenty of padding.
- Avoid direct heat and sunlight.
- Prevent moisture damage by keeping boxes off of and away from cement floors and walls.

A GUIDE TO USING SELF STORAGE FOR YOUR BUSINESS
Even though many businesses are going paperless, it can seem as if there are still a number of documents that clutter up office space. Another item that takes up a lot of room in every business is inventory. According to many experts, when an office isn’t well organized, it reduces productivity of the staff and presents a negative impression to customers and clients. Business storage
is a great solution, but when you’re packing your office, you need to take care to only pack what you absolutely need to save and keep it well documented in order to find it in your self-storage unit.
ORGANIZING TIPS AND TRICKS
We offer a few tricks for organizing your unit. When preparing boxes for commercial storage, label boxes carefully and itemize the contents. Keep a list on the box itself and make a copy for your office. It doesn’t matter if you’re storing documents or inventory. Date the boxes to be able to take out the oldest products first. Your guide to what is in your unit may take time to prepare, but it will save you hours down the road when you need to find something specific. Business organization is easy when you have affordable space at a self-storage unit. Use your office space wisely and productively instead.

- Determine Your Space Requirements – Once everything is packed away neatly, measure it all to get a general idea of your space needs. The measurements will be imperfect, but their total will help ensure that you rent the proper unit size.
- Visit Our Facilities – With your measurements in hand, come visit and talk with us. Let us take you around our facility so you can look at the units for lease and see our security surveillance system. We are also gated, and our entire perimeter is fenced.
- Provide the Required Documentation – Bring a valid photo ID when you meet with us. We’ll request your contact information for our records if you decide to lease a unit, and you can either purchase a disk lock for your space from us or bring your own.
