General Questions About Self Storage

Self storage works by renting a storage unit from a facility. Choose the size of the unit based on your needs and pay a monthly fee. You have access to the unit during the facility's operating hours to store or retrieve items.

Questions About Packing And Storing

Use sturdy boxes, bubble wrap, and packing paper to protect your items. Label boxes clearly, disassemble large furniture if possible, and store heavy items at the bottom. Leave space for ventilation to prevent mold and mildew.

Moving In and Out

Plan your move by organizing and packing items securely, renting a suitable vehicle, and arranging for help if needed. Ensure you have the necessary packing supplies and check the facility's access hours and procedures.

Special Considerations

Running a business from a storage unit is generally not allowed due to zoning laws and facility policies. However, using the unit for business storage is typically permitted. Always check with the facility regarding their specific rules.
