STORAGE TIPS
Maximize your space, protect your belongings, and make storage simple with these expert tips from All About Storage, LLC
1. Choose the Right Unit Size
Before moving in, take an inventory of everything you plan to store. Include quantities of furniture, boxes, and vehicles. Our size guide helps you select the perfect self storage unit or outdoor parking spot, ensuring you don’t overpay or run out of space.
2. Use Quality Locks
Security is essential. All About Storage, LLC provides cylinder locks for your units — strong enough that bolt cutters won’t get in. A high-quality lock adds an extra layer of protection for your belongings.
3. Organize & Label Boxes
Keep your storage unit organized with clearly labeled boxes. Place frequently used items near the front, and consider using clear containers to easily identify contents. This saves time and prevents unnecessary unpacking.
4. Protect Your Belongings from the Elements
For outdoor RV, boat, and vehicle parking, use protective covers to shield your equipment from sun, rain, and dust. For indoor storage, consider wrapping furniture and delicate items in blankets or bubble wrap for added protection.
5. Store Heavy Items on the Bottom
When stacking boxes or containers, always place heavy items at the bottom and lighter items on top. This prevents damage and keeps your storage unit safer and more stable.
6. Keep an Aisle for Easy Access
Whether storing a vehicle, RV, or household items, leave a clear aisle inside your unit. Easy access ensures you can retrieve items quickly without having to move everything around.
7. Use Pallets or Shelving
Elevate items off the ground using pallets or shelving. This helps prevent moisture damage, improves airflow, and makes cleaning under your items easier.
8. Make Use of Drive-Up Access
Our facilities offer drive-up access for quick loading and unloading. Take advantage of this amenity when moving heavy or bulky items into your unit or parking large vehicles.
9. Pay Online for Convenience
Save time by using our online bill pay system. Manage your storage account and make payments anytime, anywhere.
10. Maintain Security & Peace of Mind
All About Storage, LLC is fenced and gated with security cameras at every location. Combine this with your cylinder lock, and you’ll enjoy secure storage and 24/7 access for peace of mind.
