Make the Most of Your Storage Unit
Storing your items properly helps protect your belongings and maximize your space. Follow these simple tips to keep your unit organized, accessible, and secure.
Before moving items into storage, take inventory of everything you plan to store. Group similar items together and estimate how much space you’ll need so you can choose the right unit size.
Take full advantage of our climate-controlled environment by storing temperature-sensitive items like furniture, electronics, documents, and clothing. This helps protect your belongings from extreme Nebraska weather year-round.
Clearly label all boxes on multiple sides so you can easily identify contents without opening them. This saves time and keeps your unit organized.
Place frequently used items near the front of your unit and stack heavier boxes on the bottom. Leave a small walkway, if possible, to make accessing items easier.
Use shelving units and stack boxes safely to take advantage of your unit’s full height. This helps you store more without needing a larger unit.
Wrap delicate items in bubble wrap, packing paper, or blankets. Use sturdy boxes and avoid overpacking to reduce the risk of damage.
Break down beds, tables, and other large furniture to save space and make transport easier. Keep screws and small parts in labeled bags attached to the furniture.
Using boxes of similar sizes makes stacking safer and more efficient, helping prevent shifting and maximizing your space.
If you plan to visit your unit regularly, leave a clear aisle so you can easily reach stored items without unpacking everything.
Selecting the right unit size from the start can save time and money. If you’re unsure, use our size guide or browse available units to find the best fit.
